Next two months are hosted by JS Wilkins (Evolving Thoughts) and PZ Myers (Pharyngula). If you would like to try hosting, and haven't hosted before, you could perhaps have July.

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.)
