@futurebird I lost interest when the omomyids went extinct. I almost got it back when the ancestors of platyrrhines rafted to the Americas, but that was not quite enough.

I'd like to know if anyone has tried using networks of resistors to model biogeography.

there's also the issue that it's highly unlikely the earliest written tablets were preserved in an identifiable fasion; clay was used because it's soft and easy to modify, and the […]
