RE: [Killietalk] RE: Species aren't always so easy to distinguish....

Well I took a 100 level biology course in which we spent several weeks just trying to memorize the taxonomic significance behind "King Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti."  Fascinating, really.  So many intricacies and endless possibilities.  I now have a very rough idea of why a pronghorn antelope is classified differently than a Chilean sea bass.
 
I went to Portland Community College. :)  Go Panthers!

All in good fun, fellas...

Hey Chris,

How did this EE let you biology pros sucker him into a discussion of 
genetics, anyway?

OTOH, I can understand how Diane's course at Berserkeley "spent several 
weeks just discussing the meaning of 'species'." Cal students are 
inherently slow, and seem willing to devote incredible energy to any 
topic that involves more government control of individual choices, like 
the ESA. ;-)

I went to Stanford. :-)

Sounds like a great course. At 36 I'm back in school collecting
biologyand chemistry prerequisites for a MST specializing in Bio. I Just finished Genetics and Cell and I'm getting ready Micro and Nutrition.

Cheers,

I took a graduate seminar in evolutionary biology at berkeley where we spent several weeks just discussing the meaning of "species".
