We covered a lot of grounds last week and there were a lot of different concepts and theories mentioned in the articles. FrankIy, I felt a little overwhelmed by the information. I am not sure if I was the only one. Anyway, I did some research and found some sites that explains some of theories well...that certainly helped me to think more deeply about the subject:
Evo Devo:

Medel's Genetics

Population Genetics

Here's from the first new yorker evo devo article,
"...evo devo’s key empirical finding: swans, swallowtails, and socialites are all built from the same genes....
Evo devo tells us that animal species look different not because their structural bits and pieces have changed but because they switch on and off the same old bits and pieces in different combinations."
That really made me feel connected to other beings... the oneness of the universe and that everything that seems different is just manifestation of the Oneness. Then again, I feel that when we talked about electrons in the Chemistry class too.

I was overwhelmed too. It's always an issue of how to balance being informed, and being ignorant. We'll all have to help each other along in acceptance and understanding.
Thanks for the links also, I was a bit lost during our discussions too and it helps to have a better grasp on our material.
