Just an aside, regarding your title, DNA and the new science of human past, I had the opportunity to hear Richard Leakey speak in San Francisco at the Masonic Auditorium about his Series of Human Origins. His opening line was, "If anyone here is strongly religious, this may be a good time to leave."
Haha that’s awesome! Very envious. Would have absolutely loved to attend a lecture by him. I have met a couple people recently that worked with him at Olduvai and have a friend presently working there though. Such inspiring work.
