re: #29 SixDegrees
I predict that people will have problems with this example because it sort of vaguely implies that evolutionary change is being forced by climate change - that is, that the climate is somehow having an impact on individuals, which sounds crazy - and is. It’s a good example of somewhat sloppy science writing that’s responsible for so many misunderstandings about evolution and other matters.
I didn’t read it that way at all. The example I quoted is very clear that a decade of adaptation had taken place between the two cultivated groups of seeds.
