As a footnote to this discussion, as early as the 1960's, meiotic drive genes such as Drosophila's Segregation Distorter had started becoming considered molecular parasites that could affect the fitness of the bearer. The term "selfish" was applied only after Dawkins was published.

Nice "Wilhelm" at fin.

Either you are a fake, or incapable of determining when you have been lied.

He is a liar and a crook. He always has been, and probably always will.

Damn the electric fence.

This is pretty close to a scientific hoax -- a Piltdown wolf, if you will. Changing base-pairs in a grey wolf genome doesn't magically (or scientifically) make it a different species. I refer to constructs such as these "artificial mimics".

I don't want the first two words that I hear every morning to bethe name of the new president, Mr. <unmentionable>. I'd rather just look out the window over morning coffee rather than hear about the latest crazy tweets from the White House bathroom. See y'all in 2029.

What, no bootstrap values?

I'm conflicted on this one because I don't like big money going after little-guy volunteers, but the antisemitism is palpable and concerted.
