History of speciation

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the history of speciation has seen the largest increase in research since the 1980s?
  • ALT1:... that the largest increase in research on speciation has occurred since the 1980s in all the history of speciation?
  • ALT2:... that research on speciation has, since the 1980s, seen its largest increase its history?
  • ALT3:... that the history of speciation began long before Charles Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species?
  • ALT4:... that the history of speciation largely began with Charles Darwin's publication of On the Origin of Species?
  • ALT0a:... that research into speciation has seen a large increase since the 1980s?

• Comment: Alt 3 is a different hook entirely but may work. Also, I was wondering if, when (or if) the DYK is accepted, could it be postponed till February 12th in honor of Charles Darwin's birthday? That would be a neat thing to do!

• This comprehensive and excellent article is new enough and long enough. I am approving ALT4 and ALT0a (which I have added with a piped link). The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. No QPQ needed here. The creator hoped this could be featured on the main page on February 12th, Darwin's birthday, and I will see if I can achieve that. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:37, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
