Hutchinson’s tree
Abstract
"There is a story, perhaps apocryphal, of the distinguished British biologist, J.B.S. Haldane, who found himself in the company of a group of theologians. On being asked what one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation, Haldane is said to have answered “An inordinate fondness for beetles!”.
