Warning: Science/Metal Content

Posted on 18 April 2008 by rustedangel

Rusty thinks evolution is interesting. New Scientist apparently agrees. An hour at work would not be even slightly wasted reading their latest “common misconceptions”  article. Posted in honor of some of Darwin’s more obscure manuscripts (as well as a first draft of “Origin of Species”) recently going online.

The article is very technically sound, and a useful summation of some core concepts that even people who’ve read a bit of Ernst Mayr will find engaging. On a related note, Arsis, linked here a few weeks back, are in the midst of re-inventing technicality themselves. And by “technical,” I mean “highly technical melodic death metal video.”

    I haven’t checked out the Arsis vid, but I did peruse the evolution article. Very interesting and (for me) timely, since I recently read The Third Chimpanzee.

    I liked that book. I would also reccomend Mayr’s “What Evolution Is.” On the edge of too scientific for me, but still an excellent read.

    As for Arsis, they are in the “acquired taste” category unless you’re alreadya fan of the genre. I’ll try to link something new(er?) next time.
