Carnival of Evolution #59

Carnival of Evolution #59 is up!  Our contribution is Thomas Cameron's recent piece Of Mites and Men, about some fascinating experiments into harvest-induced selection.  Lots of other good stuff in there, check it out!

The theme this month is, somewhat bizarrely, Doctor Who.  It has nothing to do with evolution, but I'll leave you with a picture of Sarah Jane Smith, a companion of the 3rd and 4th Doctors, played by Elisabeth Sladen.  I watched Doctor Who more or less nonstop as a kid, and I had a terrible crush on Sarah Jane.
