Human Line "Nearly Split in Two"
This was an interesting piece on human evolution, and how current DNA sequencing projects can show more about the past. Definitely a more positive slant on the genetic research projects currently underway! I wonder if those genomics companies mentioned last week in class might start linking to this article...

Wow this was really interesting! I think this article shows how the media can sufficiently bring together two fields of science-in this case, climatology and evolutionary genetics. The story also brings up some things a general audience might not understand, such as genomic mapping, but explains it in a way everyone can understand and then appreciate. I wonder what would happened if the two groups of people discussed in the story had not come back together, or what different kinds of species might have evolved if humans had gone extinct.
