Margie Profet is not your ordinary evoluntionary biologist. For one thing, she has no formal training. For another, controversy hasfollowed her like flies to . . . you know what because of her theories that Darwinian evolution plays a role in allegies, menstruation and morning sickness.
Now the 40-year-old scientific "It Girl" is making waves again. She has vanished without a trace.
No one seems to know why -- not her family, not her friends, not her colleagues. All they know is that one day Profet was at Harvard University and the next day she wasn't.
