Why die ignorant?

From Wildernesse

My definition of well-educated for laypersons is whether you can explain a frequency-dependent selection model, a phylogenetic tree, and why humans are taxonomically classified as an ape. If you can’t do those things, what makes you think you know enough? I am arbitrary and I love it.

Wikipedia on frequency-dependent selection. Huang, Singh, Kojima, 1971 [pdf].

Wikipedia: phylogenetic trees, including examples.

Wikipedia: Hominidae.
