Gene trees are important and organism trees are also important and these are not the same. But there is no useful third level the "species tree" (unless you just mean to reduce this to the history of organisms or to a summary of gene trees).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-55409111313243157222008-11-08T05:52:00.000-05:002008-11-08T05:52:00.000-05:00Of course they all have the same father- Tim Taylo...Of course they all have the same father- Tim Taylor's backyard neighbour on Home Improvement. It only remains to be seen how many Wilson's he fathered in his prolific youth, and- word has it- even more prolific middle age.paul01https://www.blogger.com/profile/06306440944379183875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-20309337762426434962008-11-07T16:04:00.000-05:002008-11-07T16:04:00.000-05:00I think there ought to be a moratorium on biologis...I think there ought to be a moratorium on biologists with the Wilson surname. It would be hard enough with just EO and DS Wilsons being around but that is just a start. If anyone else with that surname wants to start a biology PhD they should have to change their surname first. Either that or someone should start a Wilson version of the Steve list in support of evolution.Konrad Talmont-Kaminskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136133369582249025noreply@blogger.com
