» The Loom : A New Step In Evolution
One of the most important experiments in evolution is going on right now in a laboratory in Michigan State University. A dozen flasks full of E. coli are sloshing around on a gently rocking table.

And because they’ve been so carefully observed all that time, they’ve revealed some important lessons about how evolution works.
