Interesting article about research into why humans carry their babies for nine months...but I don't think teh fundies are going to like it.

That's really cool! The commenters who are so offended by this idea baffle me. :shock: They take being human too seriously, I think...

Yeah, unfortuately they're never going to see it. It's on Slate (liberal media conspiracy), it's under the DoubleX section (thinking women = fundie no-no), and it mentions the "E" word (one common mammalian ancestor, I think not). But it was interesting. A lot of our DNA can be traced to viruses.
