Human Migration, Population Genetics, Maps, DNA: This sounds very interesting. I'd love to participate!

Can we predict how animals and plants evolve in response to changes in the environment? Maybe, according to preliminary research from Rice University.

The aim of this project is to port to Microsoft® Windows® the Novell® Evolution™ groupware client, as well as its dependencies. As a by-product of this efforts, as we advance in our work, we would like to put at the disposal of the community Windows® ports of the different libraries necessary in order to build a Windows® version of the Evolution groupware client.

Setting up Evolution to filter spam away

The Roman Catholic Church has restated its support for evolution with an article praising a U.S. court decision that rejects the "intelligent design" theory as non-scientific. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said that teaching intelligent design -- which argues that life is so complex that it needed a supernatural creator -- alongside Darwin's theory of evolution would only cause confusion.

Any scientist hoping that the Dover verdict would keep the teaching of evolution out of controversy and courts for a little while has got to be disappointed with recent developments. The Dover verdict stated plainly that Intelligent design was not science, and didn't belong in a science class. Politicians in several states already seem intent on testing whether the ruling will apply more broadly than Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, a public school district in El Tejon, California, has taken different approach in a high school course: teach ID, but don't call it science. Taking a cue from suggestions made in the wake of Dover, they called the course the "Philosophy of Design." Both the class and the lawsuit it spawned came to an end today, but it's worth examining in detail, both because I haven't found it summarized well elsewhere, and because it points to where the controversy over the teaching of evolution might be headed.
