How Are Neanderthals Related to Humans? Finally, an Answer

Ancient Africans walked into Europe 270,000 years ago, scientists say, interbreeding with Neanderthals, a new discovery of DNA from a cave in Germany indicates.

Much of human prehistory is the attempt to deny African origins.

Tolkien Estate and Warner Bros. Settle Lawsuit Over Licensing

The estate of J.R.R. Tolkien settled a five-year lawsuit with Warner Bros. over merchandising fees stemming from slot machines.

They are fighting over who gets paid how much.
J.R.R. Tolkien was promoting the lost cause of Fabian Socialism with a set of ripping good yarns.
The yarns overpower the sermon.

When Babies Cry

A reader points out that the crying baby who may not be hungry is still comforted by the suckling itself.

Fat babies are not better babies.

Breast works.

Partying Under the Midsummer Arctic Sun, Unless You’re a Worm

The last big innovation in luggage was the introduction of wheels. Now, start-ups are building all types of new technology into their bags, like USB ports, GPS trackers and scales.

Simple and cheap is best.
Features I won't use are just more junk.

The Bay Area tech scene has start-up incubators and hacker spaces. But what do you do when you want to figure out your next move?

What’s the Matter With Republicans?

Rural Republicans often see life and politics through an ethos formed in frontier life.

They and David Brooks are living a lie.
Think hillbillies.
The Fur trappers were almost more Native Americans.
The Armies went first.
The camp followers came after the army.
Then came the miners, the loggers and the rail roads.
The farmers brought the protestant churches.
The party of Lincoln died with the man.
The label was inherited by the victors of the civil war.
The object is loot.

The Whigs faded away.
