In other news, the KBO previously known as Xena has now been officially named Eris, so if you go to the pub this evening you'll find the discordians celebrating and the slash fans weeping into their Bacardi Breezers. And tomorrow the Grauniad's wallchart is of British invertebrates, so buy a copy for an arachnophobe near you. Buy one for every room in the house if you wish.
There are articles floating around about Neanderthal remains from Gibraltar, and the pic in the paper shows something I'd been thinking about recently - black Neanderthals. I don't think I've seen them shown as black before, presumably because they were a European species. I don't suppose any of you have heard of anything being known about their skin tones? The Neanderthal genome sequence may well hold the key to knowing that, of course.
