tuesday science review

a little late, but still within new york times science tuesday parameters!

really cool article on insect evolution. i am tempted to buy the book they are talking about!

it seems to me that this should be proof enough that there is no intelligent designer behind evolution. unless of course the intelligent designer is a giant, omnipotent, fruit fly overlord. according to the authors, if you took out all the insects in the world it would do a lot more harm to the ecosystem than if you took out all humans (and i believe they included vertebrates). what a blow that is to the scala natura!
