==Agree that merge with Evolution is needed== 
 Posting the topic again since it's been quiet since 2008...As a working evolutionary biologist, I support Tom and Pasado in the above discussion about merging this article with evolution.  There are sound reasons why Wikipedia does not have separate articles for Genetics the mechanisms of heredity as distinct from Genetics the discipline that studies those mechanisms.... nor separate articles on Biochemistry the facts and explanations + Biochemistry the research discipline... nor separate articles on population genetics principles vs. population genetics the field of research.  This article needs to merge with or be redirected to evolution.
