i’m still alive. just been real caught up w/ work and stuff. studying for a final i’ll be having this afternoon. then i’ll be officially done for the semester. i’ll be spending the rest of the week trying to clear up all the cruft that’s accumulated over the past months. also, i’m midway through my antibiotics and i’m feeling markedly better than i was the past couple of weeks. um, no links, just reporting in to anyone’s who might be interested.

Sometime during the first half of the Middle Pleistocene, hominids with larger brains, higher and more round skulls, and more rounded browridges appear in the fossil record.
