Some time back I added a little piece of conceptual mapping to the Talk.Origins Archive entitled "So you want to be an anti-Darwinian?" Now Laurent Penet has (I trust faithfully - my French is non-existent, as I found out in Paris) turned it into a French essay, along with Mark Isaak's Bombadier Beetle essay (English version here). It's amazing how much more important my own words look in French. Thanks to Laurent - now I can die happy, having been translated into at least one language other than English (and believe me, translating the contents of my head into English is no small task).

Profile
John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and worked at the University of Queensland, in Australia, before taking up a research fellowship at the University of Sydney. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.
This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...

Well, John, could you imagine how it feels when you realize somebody already wrote what you were aiming to?
But finally it spared me to translate the contents of my head into any language, since I only had to translate from English into French. By the way you did something much more exhaustive than what I would have been able...
Cordially,
Posted by: Laurent | February 4, 2007 11:00 AM
Well, not to worry. Almost everything I've ever written or thought has been written and thought much better by someone else...
