Portal talk:Evolutionary biology

Neodarwinian
I'm currently fascinated by the responses to so-called Neodarwinism. So I noticed that the introduction to this article is phrased as though Neodarwinism is the only scientific paradigm that accounts for evolution. The Neodarwinian account of evolution is presented as an uncontested fact. That is bias.

While I am not a creationists and do not believe in design (intelligent or otherwise) I am persuaded by Lynn Margulis that random mutations in genes do not account for speciation, and that therefore the Neodarwinian account of evolution is at best partial and over-stated.

Neodarwinist fundamentalism is a very interesting phenomenon, and shares many formal features with other kinds of fundamentalism. mahaabaala (talk) 09:39, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
