Rabkin *The Genre Evolution Project (GEP) web site (http://www.umich.edu/~genreevo) includes a Team Roster that lists the names of all faculty and students involved in this work from its inception. I particularly want to thank my friend and collaborator Carl P. Simon, Professor of Mathematics, Economics, Public Policy, and Director of the University of Michigan Center for the Study of Complex Systems, for his constant and continuing support. I also want to thank my friend and collaborator Bobbi Low, Professor of Natural Resources, for her many insights into experimental design and her indispensable knowledge of statistics. Finally, I want to thank the host of bright, intelligent, and vigorous student researchers who have contributed to the GEP from its very inception. We work to explore our culture together and rely upon each other. The Medical Lessons of Science Fiction*
