Some nice science links.
John Hawks Anthropology Weblog discusses a brain area in Maques that looks like the humans Broca area involved in speach (we already know there is a similar one in chimps).
Over at The Loom, Carl Zimmer discuses mice with a mutant FOXP2 gene. Humans with mutant FOXP2 have trouble with speach. Mice with mutant FOXP2 have trouble squeaking.
Over at New Scientist, reports that human foot prints in a layer of ash in America have been dated to 40,000 years is causing a stir.
Also, it looks like we won't get a clear view of the impact crater, too much dust has been stired up.
