Darwin Week is finally here!

You read it correctly! In case you've been living underground avoiding the debris from a major asteroid collision like our early mammal ancestors, you know that today is the FIRST DAY OF DARWIN WEEK! We're kicking things off with a lecture by Dr. Ed Wasserman from the U of Iowa at 4, so be there! Here are a few random links from reddit.com/r/evolution:

"Genetic sequencing of protein from T. rex bone confirms dinosaurs' link to birds"

"Heavy Brows, High Art?: Newly Unearthed Painted Shells Show Neandertals Were Homo sapiens's Mental Equals"

"Did We Mate With Neanderthals, or Did We Murder Them?"

You can check out this week's full schedule of events on facebook or simply stop by Darwinweek.com. 


We hope to see you at some of our events this week!
