For your newsgroups file:
sci.bio.evolution	Discussions of evolutionary biology. (Moderated)


The charter, culled from the call for votes:

  sci.bio.evolution will be dedicated to discussions of evolutionary
  biology. These include, but are not limited to: Natural selection,
  genetic drift, mutation, gene flow, recombination, interactions of the
  mechanisms of evolution, sexual selection, levels of selection, common
  descent, systematics, taxonomy, modification with descent, macro- and
  homeotic mutations, adaptive mutations, the history of life on earth
  (including the Cambrian explosion and demise of the dinosaurs), the
  origin of life, paleontology, taphonomy, ecological genetics,
  behavioral ecology, game theory, computer simulations of evolution,
  punctuated equilibrium, optimality theory, historicity in biology, the
  growth of biological thought, the history of biology and evolution,
  Lamarck, Darwin, Huxley, Haldane, Fisher, Wright, Simpson,
  Dohbzhansky, Gould, Lewontin, Diamond, Dawkins, Leaky, Wilson, Kimura,
  speciation, adaptive landscapes, adaptation, population genetics and
  discussion of recently published works of interest (e.g. is there a
  "gay gene"?)

  Moderation policy: As listed above, Josh Hayes would be moderator.
  The only criterion for accepting posts will be relevance. Posts
  dealing with scientific aspects of evolution will be accepted;
  Articles of creationist content will be rejected. Those authors will
  be informed that the unmoderated newsgroup talk.origins welcomes such
  discussions. Talk.origins has a variety of FAQ files (available via
  ftp) discussing arguments favoring creationism. These have been
  discussed numerous times on talk.origins and will not be rehashed on
  sci.bio.evolution.

  A pre-existing talk.origins FAQ file ("Introduction to Evolutionary
  Biology") will be posted every month or so to provide background
  material for new readers or posters.
