Leg bone yields DNA secrets of man's Neanderthal 'Eve'

[mr blur]

Strands of DNA recovered from the fossilised leg bone of a Neanderthal have shed light on the fragility of the ancient population and pinpointed when they first split from what were to become modern humans. The 38,000-year-old bone was unearthed in a cave in Vindija in Croatia, and has since become part of a landmark project to read the entire genetic sequence of an ancient human ancestor, a feat scientists believe will help reveal how modern humans evolved into the world's dominant species.

Strangely, Kent Hovind was not available for comment - he must be away.

1. I find your snark to be in poor taste

Right now, Dr. Hovind is bravely battling tyrannosaurs that threaten to rampage across the country, killing millions. He's put himself on the front lines in the human/dino war, and you have the nerve to mock him?

Shame!

2. There are dinos in prison?

Who knew?

3. Yes indeed

I believe that the seven-to-ten-with-good-behavior-osauraus is the most commonly encountered.

Fight on, Dr. Hovind! Fight on!

4. Lieberman is in jail??

:woohoo:
