Teuku Jacob dead

Cryptomundo has a long post noting the death of Teuku Jacob last month on October 17th. In no way am i gloating, but it will be interesting to see if research on the fossils identified as Homo floresiensis will move forward now.

Neandertals had same language gene as modern humans

It'll be interesting to see just how far back this FOXP2 language gene version goes back in the hominid lineage. Neandertals and modern humans both had it. Obviously it probably came from a common ancestor, and did not evolve independently in both strains.
