Sorry, hard disagree! Look how rare it is for people to double up in the 100 m and 200 m (Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Noah Lyles), or 200 m and 400 m (Michael Johnson). In swimming, the reason Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky are the GOATs is that they do it over multiple distances and strokes.

New preprint on my molecular evolution work with @johnstinchcombe.bsky.social@mfrederickson.bsky.social! Inspired by work in parasite literature, we looked for evidence of increased rates of molecular evolution in mutualistic interactions. What did we find?
Elevated rates of molecular evolution genome-wide in mutualist legumes and rhizobia https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.10.598267v1
Rates of molecular evolution vary greatly among even closely related species. Although theory predic
that looks like a sorting hat, and you look like the faculty at Hogwarts.

After 140 years of construction, the Sagrada Familia has an estimated completion date. Unlike Line 5 Eglinton, which doesn't. #topoliwww.cnn.com/2024/03/25/t...
The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona will finally be finished in 2026, more than 140 years after construction started, officials have confirmed.
Not all of GSMNP was logged. There are sections of cove forest that were apparently never logged, and NPS data suggest anywhere from 20 - 35 % was not logged, based on elevation, steepness.... There was human disturbance, sure.
I'm interested. scholar.google.com/citations?us...
