Right. I cut out some nonsense out of this article:

Namely:

(1) gene flow not demonstrable in humans - wrong. There are genes that have spread from blacks to whites in North America. Will try to remember to find out what they are... (and that is not racist, btw.)

Snipped out too nonsense about eugenics and genetic determinism as being irrelevant to the main article (though not a valid comment for elsewhere)

"Gene flow is greater in the North than in the South, due to cultural attitudes."

The last phrase is an opinion unless we have a source, so I removed it. --zandperl 23:41, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]


I understand the logic of adding HGT and hybridization to the Gene flow article but it creates some confusion. In the classic sense, restricting gene flow is essential for speciation. However, HGT and Hybridization both generate speciation so then gene flow in this sense is essential for speciation. GetAgrippa 05:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The phrasing in the introductory paragraph needed a little bit of tightening, I thought. I changed the phrase '(the number of individual members carrying a particular variant of a gene)' to 'the proportion of members...' As well, I switched a couple sentences in the second paragraph, changing "One of the most significant factors is mobility, and animals tend to be more mobile than plants. Greater mobility of an individual tends to give it greater migratory potential." to "...is mobility, as greater mobility of an individual tends to give it greater migratory potential. Animals tend to be more mobile than plants, although pollen and seeds may be carried great distances by animals or wind." I wasn't sure that the statement about animals even needed to be included, particularly without cites, because it's so broad as to be nearly meaningless (think marine algae vs pines vs rhinos vs crows... no obvious patterns emerge) Bar fly high 00:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
