Group submission address: evolution@pogo.cqs.washington.edu Moderator contact address: josh@pogo.cqs.washington.edu (Josh Hayes) For your newsgroups file: sci.bio.evolution Discussions of evolutionary biology. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: sci.bio.evolution will be dedicated to discussions of evolutionary biology. These include, but are not limited to: Natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, gene flow, recombination, interactions of the mechanisms of evolution, sexual selection, levels of selection, common descent, systematics, taxonomy, modification with descent, macro- and homeotic mutations, adaptive mutations, the history of life on earth (including the Cambrian explosion and demise of the dinosaurs), the origin of life, paleontology, taphonomy, ecological genetics, behavioral ecology, game theory, computer simulations of evolution, punctuated equilibrium, optimality theory, historicity in biology, the growth of biological thought, the history of biology and evolution, Lamarck, Darwin, Huxley, Haldane, Fisher, Wright, Simpson, Dohbzhansky, Gould, Lewontin, Diamond, Dawkins, Leaky, Wilson, Kimura, speciation, adaptive landscapes, adaptation, population genetics and discussion of recently published works of interest (e.g. is there a "gay gene"?) Moderation policy: As listed above, Josh Hayes would be moderator. The only criterion for accepting posts will be relevance. Posts dealing with scientific aspects of evolution will be accepted; Articles of creationist content will be rejected. Those authors will be informed that the unmoderated newsgroup talk.origins welcomes such discussions. Talk.origins has a variety of FAQ files (available via ftp) discussing arguments favoring creationism. These have been discussed numerous times on talk.origins and will not be rehashed on sci.bio.evolution. A pre-existing talk.origins FAQ file ("Introduction to Evolutionary Biology") will be posted every month or so to provide background material for new readers or posters.
