In 1982, Brian Goodwin and Gerry Webster wrote their seminal paper, "The Origin of Species : A Structuralist Approach". It was mistaken as just some high-brow and more obscure "Spandrels" paper, and not seen in it's own right. A quick search will pull up the proper citation.

Goodwin and Webster suggests how ethologists as well could come up with an outline that would correspond to how these morphologists envisage a modern day structuralist biology. Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, and apart from digging into a bit of Jack Hailman, Gimme Walter and Hugh Paterson, speed-reading Richard Lewontin and drawing a long bow from Stuart Kauffman on what he says about adaptation, I'm still a bit stuffed - but am getting there.

Rough Notes Against Method - I can sound pretty insane when my only focus is to get notes down

A light note on being stuffed within the "multiversa" follows, and can still lead into my main original pages and general personal background. This is all set and out of the way to be well overshadowed by my ecological leanings to be presented here on my websites and into the future.

I indeed want to figure out how to go about the science of conservation without giving into the impoverishment of functionalism somehow...
