    Scientists Find New Proof of the Neanderthal Within Us

    Basically scientists have sequenced the entire Neanderthal genome and have concluded that 1 to 4% of non-Africans have some Neanderthal DNA. Interesting article and not very long.

    I now understand 'some' people who were previously a total mystery to me.

    I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?

    Interesting. I'd long been suspicious of claims that Homo Sapiens "couldn't" have bred with Homo Neanderthalensis as there'd never been any specific reasons given why they couldn't, and as the article says, they co-existed in parts of Europe and Asia for several tens of thousands of years, so I'm pretty sure that a certain amount of err, cross species experimentation, must have gone on
    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us 'for our own good' will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
