Biological Functions

We currently categorize Functions as a leaf within Misc Evolutionary Biology. Evolutionary accounts of functions are prominent, but there are quite a few accounts, especially recently, opposed to evolutionary ones. To capture the wider debate, I propose a new leaf under Misc Philosophy of Biology called "Functions and Functional Explanations". The new leaf might obviate the old one, however.
