Hi CTD

Good to see this acknowledgement that biochemestry isn't a "field of evolutionary study". Hope to see further.

I’m sorry if you have been operating under the delusion that biochemistry was a field of evolutionary biology, it’s not. Biochemistry uses many evolutionary concepts in its work and its findings do often add to our understanding of evolution but the field is not directly a component of evolutionary biology. Much of the work of biochemists is the chemical/mechanical study of how organisms work rather than how they are related and how the evolve.

There is a sub discipline of biochemistry that deals with DNA, this field is called molecular biology. This field does directly deal with inheritance and so with Evolution and has provided much strong evidence for ToE but this was not Dr Gower specialty.
