  1. Nice to know. These weird little factoids, that are without a good scientific basis,

  2. I am interested in this essay about speciation, inbreeding and recessive mutations. Is this published? Anyone know where it is available?

    1. I am in the final stages of polishing it before submitting it for publication. Will post a link when it becomes available.
