biology is not particularly well-understood [on Less Wrong]; both the general contents of the field and its history, current open questions, controversies, and cutting-edge are barely even touched on, in favor of a relatively narrow slice of pop-evobio, and a bit of “Dawkins good; Gould bad!”
I believe you. (Is there any way we can recruit more biologists? Or maybe there should be subject-specific “Please only comment if you’ve read at least X textbooks” threads?)

You’ve at least got one now (though one with significantly lower free-internet-time once he returns to work from vacation).
No idea how to go about doing that. Given what LW is, they’d kinda have to want to be here.
