I have had disagreements with him (in the distant past > about natural selection) Thanks for saying so... but I'm mostly replying to point out that so far, we've both survived. No, that's not it. I wanted to ask if you're read "Darwin's Radio." If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the speculative science underlying it. There's certainly an intriguing notion of species-as-computer, storing evolutionary, uh, ideas, through time, as an explanation for sudden changes. I'm not wondering the scenario in the story is credible, but if the science behind it makes much sense. I keep wondering how much the recent scientific "history" in the book is accurate.
