Reply to Coyne: Genomic analyses are unthwarted.

A conjecture of Yves André . ∗

The introduction to [2] (and references contained therein) contains a comprehensive exposition of terminology and notations relative to this conjecture. Since we use the same terminology and notations, we do not reproduce them here. The introduction to [2] also contains an exposition of results on this conjecture obtained before the article [3] came out. In this article we prove the following t...

living species, each of which had a slightly more advanced version of an eye. Behe’s novelty was to extend this argument to complex biochemical pathways, the evolution of many of which we do not yet fully understand. It was in the complexity of metabolism, blood clotting, and immunology that Behe claimed to have found the hand of the Great Designer. The reviews of Darwin’s Black Box in the scie...

Reals which Compute Little André

We investigate combinatorial lowness properties of sets of natural numbers (reals). The real A is super-low if A′ ≤tt ∅′, and A is jump-traceable if the values of {e}A(e) can be effectively approximated in a sense to be specified. We investigate those properties, in particular showing that super-lowness and jump-traceability coincide within the r.e. sets but none of the properties implies the o...
