PhDP Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Why is "Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology" a subsection ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The "morphology" always seemed kind of weird to me. Is this the forum where we're supposed to discuss the shapes of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Why is "Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology" a subsection ? 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!

ecoli Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I agree. Doesn't make sense for evolution to be a subsection of genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Because evolution is most commonly associated with "large-scale" things like creatures and populations of creatures, instead of the DNA itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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.'

Daecon Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Isn't the subsection "big" enough to warrant it's own category? It's 11 pages long now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDP Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Beside, evolutionary biology is mostly associated with ecology. Isn't the subsection "big" enough to warrant it's own category? It's 11 pages long now... It's 25 pages long, vs. 12 for Genetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sayonara Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It's 25 pages long, vs. 12 for Genetics 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.
