The management reading list gave me some new ideas and the interview with Mr. T is great.

By now y’all’ve heard that there’s a lot of #Neanderthal DNA floating around in our collective genome but—#funfact—no Neanderthal DNA that’s been sequenced shows evidence of any crossover.
According to Ludovic Slimak, The Naked Neanderthal.
I’m reading his The Last Neanderthal now. About efforts to figure out how to place temporally some Neanderthal bone bits and teeth found in the Rh…
