...1900s, biologists succeeded in merging the newest biological developments at the time into a new vision of evolution known as the Modern Synthesis. Today a number of biologists argue that it's time for a new understanding of evolution, one that Pigliucci has called the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. For now, they are fiercely debating every aspect of that synthesis - how important gene-swapping is to the course of evolution, for instance, and how gene networks get rewired to produce new traits...
Some researchers argue that many patterns of nature - such as the large number of species in the tropics - cannot be reduced to the effect of natural selection on individuals. They may be following rules of their own. "Which of these ideas is going to actually survive and prove fruitful is anybody's guess," says Pigliucci. "I don't see things coalescing for at least a decade or more...

...need to have more faculty resources in order to provide the educational experience that would be more comparable to what other departments are able to,” said Economics Professor Benjamin M. Friedman. Next year, the department plans to open courses that were formerly seminars to a higher number of students. thus eliminating their 16-student caps and losing their seminar designation. Junior seminars are non-required courses “designed to introduce students to research in a particular field of economics,” according to the course catalogue. While only a fraction of the 238 current...
