I am by the sea and I have a picture

The news which made my day when I woke up and saw it in the paper: some of us have Neanderthal DNA. The original published papers are here, currently free to all visitors.

My mother is delighted. "Of course," she said when I showed her the article. "And they were gentle and ate wonderful grubs and were telepathic." The first book she ever read about the Neanderthals was William Golding's The Inheritors (1955).

I think it's pretty awesome, too.

Science!

What a great pic and article. I want to run around the neighborhood screaming "Science!" ala Thomas Dolby. Stuff like this just kicks ass so hard.
