While no fossilized bones have been found from these enigmatic people, they did leave a calling card in present-day Africans: snippets of foreign DNA. These genetic leftovers do not rJan 17 10:17

But the finger points directly to MIT in this scenario. Had MIT signed off, that would have been the deal, presumably. Another Jan 17 23:04
schestowitzexample of why it's best to wait until you have all the facts before assigning blame. Life is always more complex than you think. And the sad part is, MIT may have thought it was protecting its institutional interests. But what it did in the end is put an eternal black mark on MIT that nothing will fully erase. 3) Fame is terrible.
