Two Interesting Links

For those with an interest in genetics, visit the National Geographic virtual special called the Genographic Project.
There you will find an interesting report just released indicating that about 70,000 years ago, the human beings may have been close to extinction. A must read for biology and genetics classes.

Interested in science, weird news and the human experience in general? Visit the RadioLab website!
Sponsored by New York City public radio, this great show offers podcasts letting you hear all sorts of fascinating factoids...from why people laugh, to why songs get stuck in your head, or even how the sighting of a goat standing on the back of a cow can lead to fascinating historical discovery. (Thank you Rebecca D. for the suggestion...)
