Shades of Clouseau, but this still looks like I’d enjoy it way too much.

Carnival of Evolution #17 at Adaptive Complexity
Over at Adaptive Complexity, Michael White has just compiled the 17th monthly Carnival of Evolution. Marking the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species (November, 1859), Michael structures submitted posts into a “virtual voyage of the Beagle.” Topics range from the sexual habits of our ape-like ancestors* to a highly optimistic study predicting that the frequency of the creationist meme in the United States will drop to 0% by 2050.
* Which habits might, I think, explain why we never invite them round to tea.
Berry Go Round #21 at Beetles in the Bush
Ted MacRae has a fine round-up* for the 21st monthly Berry Go Round, the bontanical blog carnival. And he notes that BGR needs a badge. Must … resist … urge … to spend afternoon futzing with Inkscape.
*Including a set of nested footnotes that would make David Foster Wallace blush.
