Ardi shows that the human line was on a fast change track, admittedly over millions of years. There is definite evidence, not proven, that humans are the main track and chimps and other apes branched off from us, after the split from the common ancestor, who may be more human than we realized.-Climate on Earth is a lot more variable than folks realize. The ice sheets are 14-16 million years old, C02 has been much higher, etc. That must cause major evolutionary effects.-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091008152242.htm-I showed a ribosome map this week. Complex. Now ther is a DNA map showing how tightly it is packed and uses a fractal arrangement for easy unpacking to read information. Matt should love this.-http://www.physorg.com/news174230568.html
