Having just read Geoff Read's synopsis of Westheide (The direction of
evolution within the polychaeta. J. Nat. Hist. 31: 1-15.(1997)), here's
my initial response to those who want to rehash this age-old argument:
"ever hear of outgroup comparison??"
Seems like history always repeats itself just to come full circle...
Carry on,
Kirk
