NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:
Será interessante ver os artigos de W. Ford Doolittle e Eric Bapteste [1 e 2 PDFs gratuitos] à luz de suas pesquisas anteriores destacando dificuldades nesta área: suas conclusões trouxeram grande inquietação na comunidade científica. Além disso, o ícone mor da Biologia evolutiva -- a Árvore da Vida de Darwin foi declarada morta recentemente. A Biology and Philosophy vai tentar ressuscitá-la???
