Evolutionary biology Low‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

'Canto edition'

What the hell is a 'Canto edition'? Are they the publishers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.87.10 (talk) 11:49, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the pre-title page of ISBN 0-521-43776-8, "Canto is an imprint [of Cambridge University Press] offering a range of titles, classic and more recent, across a broad spectrum of subject areas and interests". AnonMoos (talk) 11:05, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

strange use of Lysenko quote in 1958 edition

The 1958 edition somewhat bizarrely includes a definition of heredity by Lysenko, quoted semi-approvingly without any indication that he was anything other than an ordinary respected scholar -- even though Lysenko had been discredited within the Soviet Union by 1954-1956 (though the final purging did not occur until 1964), and outside the Soviet Union by 1948-1949. It seems quite strange, unless Smith was trying to be more Stalinist than Khrushchev or something like that... AnonMoos (talk) 11:05, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
