Christmas and New Years got the better of me for the past two weeks, but I’m going to make it up to you with nothing but news stories about evolution. I do treat you well, don’t I?
- Prions capable of evolution (Now you have even more reason to be hysterically scared about prion diseases…)
- Even killer whales cannot escape the pull of evolution (Soon they’ll be evolving into the fabled human-eating niche!)
- Eight percent of the human genome is bornaviral in nature (This leads me to suspect that claims about junk DNA are founded in at least some truth, eh Discovery Institute?)
- More evidence against a “metabolism first” origin of life (Another interesting development – it’ll be good to see where this field goes in the next ten years.)
