typo
editNear beginning of article, there is a word "expensively" that should be "extensively". 104.34.224.48 (talk) 16:55, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nice catch but you do not need to leave a message here, just fix it yourself. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Extended evolutionary synthesis
editPhilip Ball has publicly stated that the statement about him advocating for the "extended evolutionary synthesis" is false, so I am removing that bit of the sentence. Berto (talk) 14:33, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- He doesn't speak out against the extended synthesis here [1] and Denis Noble described Ball as a proponent of the extended synthesis [2], [3]. A review here in the The Quarterly Review of Biology associates Ball's "new biology" with the extended synthesis [4]. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:09, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
