Error in Handout

Posted: January 23, 2004 @ 6.40pm by sam
The handout given in class contains an error on the second page:
"In this sense the tail as a decoration is an adaptation, but as a flight aid it is an adaptation"

This should read:
"In this sense the tail as a decoration is an exaptation, but as a flight aid it is an adaptation"

If you have been puzzling over this (or even if you haven't looked at the handout), I apologize for this mistake. The online handouts (all versions) have been updated to correct this.
