Y-Chromosome Bottlenecks and Making Peace with the Awful Human Past
DNA-based unravelling of history is one of the great amazements of our time:
- Birds are dinosaurs!
- Most of us are partly Neanderthal!
- The humans who actually killed off Neanderthals left no descendants themselves!

I noticed you had a blurb for Hanson's Age of Em. Did you write anything more extensive about the work? I'd be interested in reading it, if so.

I enjoyed your quote from "Glory Season" about the 'practical things' you'd to ask the local wizard/sorceror to come up with.It reminded me of the advanced technological contributions to 13th century Poland provided by an inadvertent time traveller in "The Cross-Time Engineer" by Leo A.

Have you tried ny Jack McDevitt - his stories are a bit like a cross between Clive Cussler and Jack Vance, with the emphasis on Vance.
