6 April 2019 - hot-cold crossover
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Crossover is an important form of chromosomal recombination; it can
lead to evolutionary innovations. Consider: Hot is the opposite of
cold, and warm is the opposite of cool, but hot is good and lukewarm
is bad, while cool is good and cold is bad. Weather is bad, since it
brings us warm fronts and cold fronts, while a love affair is always
good, since it may be hot or cooling. Will we see a new species of
language?
