Thanks Gib, for the molecular evolution information. I remember well when the news came out that we had diverged from the chimpanzee only about 5 million years ago and not 20 million. We diverged from the baboon 20 million years ago. Berkeley has been the leading edge for scientific work on evolution for many years now. I think Donald Johannsen (of Lucy fame) is there? Anyway I am familiar with their work. Both my older daughter and son in law went there. My son in laws dad teaches statistics there. The big news recently is the anthropologists are realizing we have the same numbers of branches of sub species like all other animals. I always thought we would find out we evolved just like all other animals. It was the kind of conclusion a kid could figure out if not brainwashed. Wolves and coyotes can interbreed and they have been separated more than a million years and many more generations. So on the surface Neanderthal and Cro- Magnon were of equal intelligence. So I would say that, and the fact of the art and technology spurt 35,000 years ago is still not fully understood----big questions there? Homo erectus in asia is also going to prove interesting I think. And I just read the "hobbit mystery" is still in question regarding another possible species?
