I rather like the 36 plot list. There is plenty to choose from, although people should not mistake conflicts for plots, which is why they think there are an infinite number out there. In reality, there aren't.

One group tends to place similar animals together as one species, the other to separate them. I'll let you guess which group does which. So, if you ask a biologist how many species of, for example, gray wolves there are, they might say, "One," or they might say, "Five." <br /><br />And so on. You'll recognize this plot as much like the one playing out here. There are so many plots, or so few, depending entirely on where you choose to draw the imaginary lines between them.
