Re: Gene transfer
Since I've never been able to figure out how to post equations to this board
Maybe this site will help the mathematicians here. It's from MIT's website and offers math fonts for use on the web.

Hey, thanks scoff. I'll check it out. Maybe there's hope after all...
I remembered reading your post about having difficulty posting equations when I came across a link for this at a science site. I thought it might be helpful, but from what NWR posted I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment.
The only other suggestion I could make is a screen capture program that outputs in .jpg format. I know there are free ones available on the web.

Actually, this is not true at all.
I came across this article recently where scientists were reporting the results of a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Their conclusion was "[p]lants and animals living in warm, tropical climates evolve faster than those living in more temperate zones...."
Evolution Occurs Faster at the Equator | Live Science
It certainly refutes NJ's contention that high heat levels have a negative effect on evolutionary processes. In fact, their conclusion is just the opposite. I think you might find the article interesting.

Re: Oh, great!
As if we didn't have enough to worry about from Global Warming, we can now add the threat of armies of blood-thirsty mutants to the list!
LOL! Excuse me while I wipe off my monitor.

Hey scoff, we've got an open thread on that article here if you'd like to participate or make comments.
Thanks, Quetzal. I thought the article was fascinating, and it fit right into the discussion. I'd like to see others' takes on it.
