The 31st edition of the Carnival of Evolution is online at The Dispersal of Darwin—it went up at midnight, New Year’s Day, if I’m not mistaken. In spite of the holiday season, the post list is pretty overwhelming—contributions include Jerry Coyne on reinforcement, John Hawks on the new proto-human genome, Brian Switek on fossils that contributed to evolutionary theory, and Krystal D’Costa on the evolution of gestures for communication.

Check’em out, and tune in next month, when CoE number 32 will be hosted … right here! Submit your posts about evolutionary biology and all its myriad cultural and historical ramifications on the CoE blog carnival form, or e-mail links to denimandtweed AT gmail DOT com.
