Dear All,
Has anyone seen the April issue of Discover magazine yet? I hear that there is an article by Joshua Foer entitled "Pushing Phylocode: What if we decide to rename every living thing on earth?". The title seems to be a bit of an exaggeration, but I assume Joshua is definitely not in favor of PhyloCode either. Hmmmm, I wonder if he realizes that they want to rename a lot of extinct things as well? Anyway, I assume he is mainly referring to getting rid of binomials-----but even IF the first phase of PhyloCode survives at all, the second phase (reducing species to uninomials) certainly will not.
--- Cheers,
Ken
