eruthrosI would like to get copies of a variety of papers on the Modern Synthesis. The famous result of the meeting between Mayr, Dobzhansky, and Simpson, among others. The modern synthesis integrated Darwin's natural selection with Mendel's theory of heredity, and finally explained how evolutionary change occurred via genetic drift, gene flow, or mutation, and then was acted upon by natural selection.) Huxley actually wrote a book about it in '64. Mayr did in '63.
I would then like to bind this series of papers in hardcover.
I would then like to hit most human behavioral ecologists over the head with this document until they promise not to say that farming arose because it is "adaptive under certain natural and social conditions."
And then after I achieved my primary goal, I would actually open the book and make them all read it until they understood why they were never going to use that phrasing ever again. And then I would make them explain to me the difference between genetic drift and gene flow before letting them go.
