Proposal to add "Biomimetics/Biomimicry" to "See also" list:
Biomimetics or biomimicry is defined by Vincent, et al. (2006) this way: "Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems."[1]

Vincent, Julian F. V.; et al. (22 August 2006). "Biomimetics: its practice and theory". doi:10.1098/rsif.2006.0127. Retrieved 7 April 2015.

"Bimimetics/Biomimicry" is distinct from "reverse engineering" in that the former attempts to analyze and replicate and reproduce natural, living things, while "reverse engineering" does the same thing with man-made objects. A person doing research in one of the topics would very likely also benefit from researching into the other, so I propose adding "Biomimetics/Biomimicry" to "See also" under "Reverse engineering", and vice versa.

Proposal to add "Reverse engineering" to "See also" list
Reverse engineering is defined by Eilan, Eldad (2005) on Wikipedia (original source below) this way: "Reverse engineering, also called back engineering, is the processes of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made and re-producing it or re-producing anything based on the extracted information.[1]:3

Eilam, Eldad (2005). Reversing: secrets of reverse engineering. John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 978-0-7645-7481-8.

Reverse engineering is distinct from biomimicry only in that reverse engineering attempts to analyze and re-produce man made things and biomimicry attempts to do the same with living things. Someone researching one of the subjects would very likely also be interested in researching into the other, so I propose including "Reverse engineering" under "See also". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary Henscheid (talk • contribs) 11:34, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
