This website is very well produced, has a great deal of depth to it and is very intereactive and holds the attention. That being said, some of the content I read reflects the dominant corporate, AMA based paradigm and as such makes me wonder about the rest of the content that I may not be aware of.
For example, when talking about evolution and agriculture it totally speaks to the corporate farming model regarding using pesticides against pests. There is no discussion of organic standards what so ever. No comparison of practices and results between the different approaches. Similarly, when talking about medicine it takes the usual AMA approach. There is no discussion about herbs, alternative modalities and food (that would be organic) as potential solutions to health issues. Nor is there any discussion of the evolutionary effects of pesticides on the human population (stay tuned and find out...we're human guinnea pigs!). However, there are others who are making that connection (Marin Endocrinologist Dr. Richard Shames).
So, while the pretty straight forward information on family trees and phylogeny is correct, I question the POV that the overall application is promoting.
