EVOLUTION 2.0 PRIZE KEY FACTS: Evolution 2.0 is a $10 million

I have sneaking suspicion nobody's going to win this.  This isn't new; it's been around since 2006, maybe earlier.  There's even a book:

What is puzzling me is why it is referred to as the Royal Society of Great Britain. It's the The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, commonly referred to as the Royal Society. (To disambiguate from the Royal Societies of Edinburgh and New Zealand one would normally refer to it as the Royal Society of London.)

 Come on. This is Ron Dean, what do you expect?
 

In this instance he was quoting from the web site. I think I have to infer that George Church, Denis Noble and Michael Ruse didn't have much input on the content of the web site. Can we blame Perry Marshall, or was it delegated to a minion.
