I really like your ten evolution picks. I also like the way you’ve tied them to Darwin. He seems more and more brilliant to have sensed and predicted what we are now finding. I especially like the part about tetrapod evolution. Blogged about it myself October 21-26. It’s great when we biologists have really good hypotheses about how something evolved and then a fossil like Ardi (for bipedal locomotion in humans) or Tiktaalik (for four-legged locomotion) comes along and we are amazed at how wrong we were.

Nice – but I’d second the epigenetics thing too. NOVA showed a brilliant show on it a few years ago – Ghost in the Genes or something like that.

Very good list. That’s a great website as well. No mention of epigenetics?
