So that could explain the lack of Neanderthal mitochondria! I had cynically assumed that it was because it was only physically stronger male Neanderthals "mating" with h. sapiens and not the other way around.

Yeah, right. Mathematicians also say they can duplicate spheres by cutting them up into infinitesimal pieces and reassembling them. Call me when physicists do it for real.

When a student asks a question you're unsure of the answer to, always respond with "Let's find out together" & search together for the answer.

I teach college-level programming & I really want the students to know that it's more important to know how to find things out, than to memorize everything
