Talk:Prime numbers in nature

I question the relevance of some information present in this article, especially ''Examples of the prime number '2' in nature are found wherever bilateral symmetry is present. For example, in the human body you will find two eyes, two ears, and so on.'' Yes, 2 is a prime number, but is this appearance really due to its being a prime number? One could enumerate any number of things in nature of which there are 2, or 3, or 17... The bit about evolution is extremely interesting, but I don't think coincidences belong.

 * Agreed. sounds mostly like numerology to me, except for the part about the cicadas =). -Domokato 04:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ditto, also except the part about the cicadas. But where does the 2% figure come from? And what is this crap about "mongoloid children?" I'm going to add a cleanup template JianLi 21:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand adding the {cleanup} template, but why the {neutrality} template? The article may well be inacurate (and unencyclopedic), but what's not neutral about it? Also, I removed the {delete} tag, as the article is clearly not a candidate for speedy deletion. It could be a candidate for afd, though. &mdash; Asbestos | Talk   (RFC)  21:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, my reasoning was, the use of "mongoloid" may well have been racist. And the NPOV article lists, "Ethnic or racial bias, including racism, nationalism and regionalism." Also, I think this article should be deleted, so I put the {delete} tag. I'm not very familiar with wikipedia deletion, so I didn't know "afd" would be more appropriate. In any case, i put an {afd} there now. I say we delete this page, and merge what's salvageable into prime numbers JianLi 00:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

What's with the 19 bones in the human hand and foot? Most sites here give 27 for the former, and here give 26 for the latter. I've removed the info. &mdash; Asbestos | Talk   (RFC)  13:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
