• Trying to refind a journal article

    From Pro Plyd@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 10 22:40:03 2024
    I use the browsers "Epic" and "Brave" which can
    be set to not save history. Was just starting
    to read an article, something about how "other"
    "theories" of evolution get around (theories as
    in, kook stuff, creationist, etc). Power blipped,
    pc restarted. Dang, no history.

    It was a journal of some kind, kinda pretty sure the
    journal title was "Cell-something". I think it was
    a 2024 article.

    Can't find it again. Does this ring a bell with
    anyone? Probably not enough to go on...

    Second attempt to post:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/andreamorris/2024/06/14/evolution-may-be-purposeful-and-its-freaking-scientists-out/

    Something on "purposeful" evolution.  His example of the adaptive immune system essentially means that "purpose" is just the random development
    of something that works to do something that can be selected for.  The random mutations are not directed, but they just produce something that
    can be identified as working better to bind to an antigen.  Nearly all
    of the millions of attempts are failures.

    For evolution to work every change has to work within what already
    exists.  If a new function is created, that new function has to work
    within what already exists.  That is not purposeful, it is just reality.

    Thanks for checking. The Forbes article isn't it
    but is interesting.

    One other thing I recall is that the banner
    on that page had green on it. (if that doesn't
    pin it down nothing will!)

    Oh well. Came across it by chance, might rediscover
    it by chance.

    Thanks for taking a look-see. That isn't it but
    it is worth reading. One other thing I recall
    about the page was there was green in the banner
    at the top of the page.

    Oh well. Came acrossed it by chance, might
    happen again.
