Carnival of Evolution #20

Psi Wavefunction posted the newest edition of CoE late last night on Skeptic Wonder. And I do declare that this is the awesomest edition I have ever seen - of this carnival, and if any blog carnival. And, it's all about evolution.

Psi actually, genuinely, did phylogenetic analysis of the submitted posts, converting the URLs into amino acid sequences, and then made phylogenetic trees based on them. How out of this world is that?!

It going to be very hard to outdo CoE #20, but I know future hosts will try their very best. Because that's what they've signed up for...

CoE #21 will be at Mauka to Makai.

About Carnival of Evolution

Do you care about the science behind evolution? Do you marvel at the tiny molecular machines spewing out coded messages to the microscopic inhabitants of your own bodied world? Do you grow irate at the ignorance pushers and the disintegration of evolution education in the modern world? Do you like to stay abreast of current topics and scientific findings in the study of the organismal existences surrounding us or those long gone?

If so, this is the blog carnival for you. (Don't know what a "blog carnival" is? Read this.)

MAILING LIST: if you would like reminders of publication and submission, send an email to bjorn@bjornostman.com.
