Without Mendel, Darwin would have been hooped. There is no evolution without genetics.

On the second point, I'm not sure either, as I have no background in anthropology.

Here it is. Not important now, but I'm still curious. Before you go if you could elaborate on "However I also must note that there are species (and even human cultures) which are not territorial but exhibit some of the characteristics of greed that I listed... "

And I've got to leave this one too. Great thread. Now I know more about you all besides the fish and corals you keep. Look forward to meeting more of you in person.

So I'm off to feed the baby. Every three hours! Did you know that?! How do they expect us to get any rest at that rate? Or clean the tanks? Or spend time in elaborate off topic forums?
