I haven't read the actual paper, so I can't really comment on its validity or whether ScienceDaily totally misrepresented it. But whatever, it made for a good comic. http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1204 http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1202 http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1200 This was inspired by a Richard Dawkins talk, the gist of which was that most "potential" humans, including great ones, have never been born at all, so quit whining about life. Walcott of course has a slightly different opinion. http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1198 Walcott worries about the survival of his fossil bed project, while others have slightly different priorities. http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1196 http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1194 Sorry about the late posting, yesterday was a busy day! http://www.etrilobite.com/?p=1192
