Why is "Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology" a subsection ?

The "morphology" always seemed kind of weird to me. Is this the forum where we're supposed to discuss the shapes of things?

Can you imagine what the CDesign Proponentsists would do if we gave Evolution it's own forum?!?! For gods' sake, man, think of the children!

I agree. Doesn't make sense for evolution to be a subsection of genetics.

Because evolution is most commonly associated with "large-scale" things like creatures and populations of creatures, instead of the DNA itself?

Right... genetics is obviously useful for understanding evolution. But, Darwin didn't need to know anything about to come with the idea, so it hardly seems like it should be a 'subset.'

Isn't the subsection "big" enough to warrant it's own category? It's 11 pages long now...

Beside, evolutionary biology is mostly associated with ecology.

It's 25 pages long, vs. 12 for Genetics

While we are at this (well a few months back), one could also argue that Microbiology is for the most part associated with Biology rather then with Medicine. Likewise Neuroscience (in contrast to neurology) and physiology (even if we only concentrate on human physiology).

We're currently investigating matters related to forum organization. Stay tuned.

The number of pages of threads in a forum is subjective, much like the number of pages of posts in a thread, because it depends on each member's viewing options.
