Remine likes to complain that he is being suppressed, but Crow has publicly made it clear he thinks Remine’s paper could be published in another journal. I think so as well, though I must say, after reading it, that Remine clearly has no idea how to write a scientific paper. Its style is so poor it is surprising that Remine spent such a long time wrangling with editors and reviewers not only with the The Journal of Theoretical Biology but with Heredity as well. One would have thought he could have taken their input or at the very least look at some articles in them and modified his manuscript. Looking at what he eventually published online, it’s obvious he did neither.
Which is odd, because apparently Remine does have a couple of publications in his own field, so you would think that he would know that accusing people of being dishonest and the like is not what one typically finds in a scientific paper. I suspect that he, at least in part, purposefully wrote his paper in a non-academic style to hasten its rejection in order to cry foul.
Of note is the fact that Remine does not provide - nor apparently even know of - any evidence that would indicate that the number he derived employing Haldane's model to human evolution is 'too few' (fixed beneficial mutations) to produce a 'sapien out of a simian'.
