A Mathematician Explains the Irreducible Complexity of Metamorphosis

In my 2000 Mathematical Intelligencer article "A Mathematician's View of Evolution," I compared the development of the genetic code of life with the development of a computer program, such as my finite element code PDE2D. Read More ›

Fact-Checking Wikipedia on Common Descent: The Evidence from Biogeographical Distribution

When the biogeographical data does not fit with the predictions and expectations of common descent, one always has "oceanic dispersal" at the ready to serve as an ad hoc fudge factor -- including the rather remarkable claim that monkeys made it across the Atlantic from Africa to South America!
