It’s a scandal! Jonathan Eisen says that Hollywood is making a movie tentatively entitled Tree of Life. Plot summary?
In a mystical world of folklore, several individuals embrace in a race to find the Tree of Life, said to give immortality, fertility, and other supernatural powers.
Eisen wants to protect this holiest of holy phrases from the attention of a gazillion celebrity-sucking bloggers etc who, he fears, will cause “uses of the Tree of Life by evolutionary biologists [to] lose their google rankings. The term “The Tree of Life” is at risk of a form of extinction.”
And the solution? Link to the real McCoys. Which I’m happy to do.

I do, however, need someone to explain to me just when “fertility” became a supernatural power.

Yeah, spread the Tree of Life “Link Love” Google juice!
P.S. Any progress on your cytochrome stuff? Did the authors get back to you?
A little progress, yes. I plan to write a long post, just as soon as I can find time to think.
I thank you for helping. The Tree of Life thanks you too
