ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to thank Cathe Smith and Dr. Cliff Gooch for their insights into genetics and genetic drift.

We must also give a big shout-out to all the exoplanet scientists out there who are giving us a myriad of new worlds to work and play in. When we were young(er), back before about 1992, there were no confirmed planets outside of our solar system—can you imagine that? When Captains Kirk, Picard, and Janeway were gallivanting around the universe, visiting one habitable planet after the other, the only people who knew such planets existed were the science fiction writers! Well, in all honesty, the astronomers were also pretty sure they existed, but they did not yet have the proof. Now they do. It is a big universe out there, so we better get busy and start exploring it.

—Travis S. Taylor and Les Johnson
