Good evolutionist blogs

From EvoWiki

This is a page for collecting good blogs where evolution is a common topic. This was inspired by the blog of developmental biologist and t.o. regular PZ Myers at http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/.

ScienceBlogs (Biology section) now hosts a number of the previous independent blogs listed below as well as other of general interest to biology, including the "Ask a ScienceBlogger" section. [1]
