That's good news, DD .. almost put it up as the main one, it was the photo i wasn't sure of here .. lol .. yes ..

"With the new tools for examining genes on an individual chromosome, it has become
feasible to analyze human genetics in ways that were undreamed of not that many years ago."

is encapsulated in Paabo's

“If you had asked me 20 years ago, I would have said that sequencing the genome of an extinct species
like the Neanderthal was science fiction,” he reflects in his recently published book Neanderthal Man.

It's a fascinating read .. gotta admit (blush) when they started on the difference in bone structures of Neanderthal
and humans i thought, 'gee, what is it again which exactly makes a different species?' .. that led to this simple and
cute/humorous in places .. Defining a species .. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_41 .. the cute? ..



on the next .. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/evo_42 .. page .. i also drifted for some reasons to these ..

Are Neanderthals Human?

Human Genome Shrinks To Only 19,000 genes

LOLOL .. love the very last bit of the original you felt was such a good one ..

Neanderthal DNA may have opened a new chapter in the history of human origins but clearly many of the pages remain to be filled in. We may be absolved of their extinction – indeed we may in a sense have rescued them from extinction by preserving 30% or so of their genome. And their DNA has in a very real sense brought Neanderthals back to life. George Church, a high profile geneticist at Harvard University, has even suggested, perhaps tongue in cheek, that we should do so, or at least bring their cells to life in the culture dish.

But there’s no doubt that Neanderthals live large in our imagination. Dozens of men have written to Pääbo claiming to be full Neanderthals. The only women to have written to him have done so to say that they thought their husbands were Neanderthals as well. .. https://cosmosmagazine.com/life-sciences/neanderthals-live-us

Your comment much appreciated and led to quite some revision for me .. thanks for that .. glad i snuck it in, too.
