, 18:45, January 9, 2009Who's using the peppered moth as evidence for evolution?
I'd like to know, once and for all, whether the [[peppered moth]] is considered evidence for evolution. If it's not evidence but "just an example", then what is it an example of?

[[Jon Wells]] says, "When asked to list the evidence for Darwinian evolution, most people--including most biologists" give the peppered moth as an example. I've asked at Wikipedia whether what this means. I hope my stalkers don't dismiss the question simply because I cross-posted it. If the moth's change in distribution of light and dark varieties is cited by scientists (or at lease educatiors) as evidence of evolution, then I will include it in CP's [[evidence of evolution]] article. If not, I won't; it's that simple. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:45, 9 January 2009 (EST)
