Changing topics a bit, it seems like two science stories have been underplayed in the general media and the blogosphere (outside of the specialist blogs dealing in these matters.)

The first being the story of the neanderthal bits and pieces in the human genome.

The second is this one:

NASA team cites new evidence that meteorites from Mars contain ancient fossils

There was a time when both of these stories would have made a bigger impact on the American public, I think.

I’ll be much more impressed when the Martian life forms can participate in our economy… and we can realize some monetary return on all the money we’ve spent trying to prove they were there.
