Did Aristotle run the plants through some sort of ancient pneumanonmeter? More lost ancient knowledge!
I can't remember much about it, but the first chapter in my Botany book in college was that reading from Aristotle. It has always stuck with me. I've been on these threads for a wile now (not as long as you, I'm sure). Notice how plants are rarely mentioned? Yet they make up a majority of the biosphere.
i am firmly convinced that evolution would mean squat to creationists if it didn't include man.
