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.

I think that is an entirely appropriate reaction. Also, I want photographs.
Stuff like this just kicks ass so hard.
Amen.
