		<description><![CDATA[The phrase &#8220;theory of evolution&#8221; is sometimes used pejoratively by people who do not want to acknowledge that populations and species of biological organisms evolve. In fact, the legislature of the state in which I reside &#8211; New Hampshire &#8211; is now considering legislation (e.g., see here and here) &#8220;requiring the teaching of evolution as [...]]]></description>

For example, they tell the story of how all carrots came to be orange in the 17th century [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t know we had six &#8220;unified&#8221; theories to start with. (How can there be more than one &#8220;unified&#8221; theory? But that&#8217;s beside the point.) The paper claims that all six of our &#8220;unified&#8221; theories are based on [...]]]></description>

This happened at the joint, American Society of Naturalist/Society for the Study of Evolution/Society of Systematic Biologists meeting in Moscow, Idaho. One of the most fascinating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came into the science of ecology during the mid-1980&#8242;s. This was a time when ecologists were learning the lesson that one cannot simply go out and collect observational data to test hypotheses. Proving that species compete by demonstrating Hutchinsonian ratios proved to be a rather futile endeavor, to say the least. The problem is [...]]]></description>
