I visited the wolf park of Shaun "Wolf-man" Ellis in north Devon a few weeks ago. He has become internationally famous for living with the animals, becoming...
Most of the RSS feeds I read are on my My Yahoo page, but there's usually some special link for adding an RSS feed for the ones I have so far. I'll try adding...
Well, I don't think I'm supposed to use an "unapproved" browser on a UW-Colleges computer (although I know our network administrator uses Firefox himself). I...
Another case of scientific illiteracy among headline-writers, that's all, or maybe it's just too complicated to try to express in a headline. Consider the...
Now that's "Talking to the animals"! Is the idea that the pack was warning them not to approach through lion country? Dave On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 12:06 PM,...
John Hawks provides a link to a news report in Science by Ann Gibbons (and adds his comments). I was able to read the story. Interesting speculation on...
John: One of the reasons why I posted this is, I was kind of skeptical of these conclusions, too. Here's why: He could have left descendants, but for a...
Paul: I wouldn't be real surprised. Wolves have pretty sharp ears. Also, I suppose if you've been around a pack, and you know them and they know you, I'm...
Dave: I get them separately, and I have an icon on my desktop I can access them from. Anne G Most of the RSS feeds I read are on my My Yahoo page, but there's...
Elena and Dave: I use good ol' Windows as my browser, and I haven't had any problems, either. Maybe Dave's problem is that he's being firewalled from the...
Dave: It just occurred to me that another way you can get to Biology of Mind, is just to go to the John Hawks blog and link to it from there. That's what I...
Dave: Like I said elsewhere, there are any number of reasons this mtDNA might not have survived. And none of them are even mentioned as possibilities in the...
Dave: It's good that the "clock" ticks steadly for Adelie penguins. I'm not sure, however, that this makes such data any more reliable --- except, perhaps,...
Dave: That would be exciting news, if there's anything to it at all. Anne G John Hawks provides a link to a news report in Science by Ann Gibbons (and adds his...

All: The John Hawks blog has a link to the abstract of an article in Science regarding an Ardepithecus femur, for those interested. You can find it here: ...
    Sure, or it could have been eliminated in 50 or a hundred generations, as far as that goes. Only thing certain is that it couldn't have been a...
It seems so, though it may also have been the increased human traffic since the lions were brought in. The wolves are obviously used to people, but before...
And I can't get it that way, either. Don't think I haven't tried. I'll check with my Network Administrator about firewalling, but why the University system...
It might not mean anything, but this is the first species anyone has been able to test by this method. What are the chances that the first species to be...
Dave: I think you're right in one sense: studies of molecular DNA are basically in their infancy, and more sophisticated methods of getting molecular DNA,...
I've been informed off list that Elena Vaccaro is now having a problem reaching the site, so it might not just be me after all. I had reached it in the past...
 Sure, who knows - maybe use radio controlled robots to excavate any human remains(8^)          Regards            John GW ... From:...
Dave: Gee. I wonder why I've been so lucky? (vbg) Anne G I've been informed off list that Elena Vaccaro is now having a problem reaching the site, so it...
John: Well, that's one possibility. I was thinking more of increasingly sophisticated ways of extracting DNA, and studying it. Anne G Sure, who knows - maybe...
