It is shown that a suitably accurate approximate generic solution to the initial value problem for the equation ∂θ/∂ t = D ∇2 θ + a θ(1 - b θn) may often be given immediately by $\theta \cong \bar\theta \equiv \frac{1}{2}(\theta_+ + \theta_-)$, where θ+ and θ- are explicitly exhibited upper and lower bounds on the exact solution.
