The manuscript describing experiences on the way is now available.

Two seminars by Prof. Laurence D. Hurst (University of Bath) at the University of Edinburgh will highlight the potential of this approach.

The list of most important work units for the semi-automated email system has been adjusted accordingly.

Recent attempts to introduce criticism of evolution into biology classes have failed. A live webcast on the 4th of April 2008 by Prof. Kenneth R Miller will explain more. No publisher lloewe 2008-04-02T21:54:08Z News Item http://www.evolutionary-research.net/news/2008/04/01/why-are-we-still-alive The first analysis of evolution in Simulator005 is now available as a free download. Its core result is that the current simple standard model of human mitochondrial DNA evolution is incomplete, as it would predict the extinction of the human line in less than 20 million years. While the hunt for extensions of the standard model is on, this work provides yet another reason to fight any pollution that harms our DNA.
