Profile

Snowflake Grumpafudamus 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 a position as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Queensland, in Australia. 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...

Quick, start posting. You have a limited window of opportunity. Here are suggested topics to increase your traffic:

Ron Paul: Wacko or just what we need?
Intelligence: It's not genetic. (Is it?)
Adaptationism: Need anyone say any more?
Scientists: framing idiots!
The 10 commandments: False, yes. But nonetheless good for us?
If evolution were a religion... (on second thought, probably would be a dud)

And I know you are smarter than that, but make sure you stay away from foreign politics (Like, who should be dictator of, say, New Zealand. We just don't care.)

Good luck!

Hey I saw it on edcone.com first and wondered why he linked to it (I thought it had something to do with me personally!).

This would also be an opportune time to critique Scott Adams's understanding of science.
