I'm researching agents this afternoon, honest, but there's also this little article on how new data leave us just as confused as we were before about the megafaunal extinction: Lost Giants: Did Mammoths Vanish Before, During, and After Humans Arrived? We are, however, confused in a way that brings us closer to the truth than certainty would. The pond-fungus study described has also been declared incompatible with the Clovis Comet theory of megafaunal extinction. As usual I have quibbles with the way Clovis, overkill, and megafaunal extinction are discussed, but I'm not going to lay that on you right now.
I figure it's my job to keep y'all from falling behind on this stuff. This diversion has nothing to do with the mind-numbing panic that researching agents creates in me. Not one thing.
That is really interesting. I came over from LiveJournal where your blog was featured on susanwrites's 31 Blogs in 31 Days.
ReplyDeleteI am going to read more of your blog.
Hi Peni - I've added you to my Google Reader blogs so I can make sure you keep me from falling behind on researching ideas and other fascinations we share in the writing life.
