Re: Contemplate the next major revolution in science

Dude, I am not sure you quite understand how the whole Darwin thing works.

if 70% of a populus is wiped out by a virus then they were maladapted to survive that virus. The left over 30% will most likely have a property that allowed them to surivive. They will breed and that property will become majority in the new populus, so future invasions of that type of virus will be less and less likely to be as successful across each generation now that the population is adapted to survive that virus. If another virus comes in and wipes out another 70%, then they were once again maladapted to survive that virus.

Survival is absolute: the subject lives and is capable of breeding. Adaptation is relative.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
