Well Alexander, your wish is coming true.
I am a current 9th grader doing a report on this exact article and will be presenting the information to my entire class.
So in some way the news is making its way into the educatioal system.

Thank you. Thank you for the article Ms. Strickland. Just wonderful. And thank you too, Alex for sharing your knowledge with us. Really impressive. I wish we can inlude more of something like that in elementary education. I wish we have more news like this on TV.

This is significant if indeed the research findings are correct. I wonder how Dawkins would explain these findings.

I couldn’t find a free, readily available image of Forelius pusillus! And believe me, I tried. But here in the blogosphere, we don’t always have the luxury of spending an hour tracking down a researcher who can provide a photograph. I figured only a few people would know the difference– clearly you, sir, are one of those few.

It'd be nice if you didn't illustrate your article on the Brazilian species Forelius pusillus with a photo of the European species Camponotus cruenatus. That's kind of like showing a picture of a squirrel when your article is about monkeys.
