And that was the beginning of a kind of serial depletion from bigger and tastier species to smaller and not so tasty species, from species that were near to home to species that were all around the world, and what have you.

And a Homo evolutis brings together these three trends into a hominid that takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of his species, her species and other species.

And I'm talking specifically about synanthropic species, which are species that have adapted specifically for human ecologies, species like rats and cockroaches and crows.

These are gateway species, vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.

To put that number into perspective, here's a graph comparing the 40,000 species of spiders to the 400 species of primates.

But how about variation among spider species, so looking at one type of silk and looking at different species of spiders?

Now, all this diversity means that you can look at a pollen grain and tell what species it came from, and that's actually quite handy if you maybe have a sample and you want to see where it came from.

They include the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and its Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals under which the recent Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels was negotiated.

That is, natural selection works on properties, like fitness, which are about relationships of some species to some other species.
