Back when I used to do interesting work at the Academy of Natural Sciences, my friend Earle Spamer once showed me an old wooden table.

“This,” he said, “is the table where Edward Drinker Cope was flensed.”

Now, Earle’s got a good sense of humor (by my standards, which are admittedly low) so I was never sure if this was a joke, objective truth, or Academy apocrypha. There is a rather large corpus of Academy apocrypha.

A good patient age range for spinal decompression therapy is between 25 and 55, although it can be used carefully on elderly patients. tadalafil tablets in india Most of them include creams or gels that can help in temporary generico cialis on line try that page now desensitising the penis to lower sexual stimulation.

It is completely safe for use. viagra canada no prescription Earle’s written lots of excellent stuff, including a natural history of the Colorado River and an analysis of the probable cladistic connection between Barney the Dinosaur and a dead salmon. But recently I noticed the Earle’s 1999 paper Know Thyself: Responsible Science and the Lectotype of Homo sapiens Linnaeus 1758 (in which he totally schools Louie Psihoyos and Robert Bakker) has become the standard reference behind the ICZN’s official designation of Carl von Linne as the type specimen for homo sapiens sapiens.

I could write up the homo sap type controversy (and name-drop Academy colleagues Gary Rosenberg and Ted Daeschler, who I also remember fondly) but somebody else already did a better job. Well, except that the author repeats the syphillis canard against Cope, which appears to have been disproven at this point.

So it seems that Earle has reached a rather significant scientific stature, and the tables in several scientific publications will have to be revised.
