Not much on evolution and genetics of late...well, sometimes life goes in other directions. But, I though I'd point you to JP over at my other blogcommenting on a paper where the author dismisses the rate of human genomic evolution next to his vaunted Drosophila (the full paper can be found in the links over there). RPM responds over at his blog. The comment boards on my other blog have been hoppin', with RPM being the Drosophile, and JP making the case that H. sapiens is the next big model organism. Scroll down and you'll see the Allen Iverson.' I just got Evolutionary Genetics: Concepts & Case Studies in the mail, so except some evo-gen fun in the next few weeks....
