Sound be pretty cool Dennis.
Lots of new stuff in this field recently.
That looks like a worth while undertaking. Do you have an idea of which splinter topics you'll be following? Future health growth sounds intriguing....
Nothing in particular, I've always found this a fascinating subject. I can remember pouring over the Time-Life series with my grandpa. Back then it was though that there wasn't any over-lap with Homo neanderthalensis & Homo sapiens. Grandpa would just be spell-bound to learn that most people today have about 2-3% neanderthal genes where the species cross bred.
