From today's maverick science announcements: Another candidate for the title of "Missing Link" in the effort to trace a path of evolution from ape to Man has been excavated from a cave in the South African Unesco World Heritage Site of Sterkfontein. The reportedly 2M-year-old remains of a child, almost complete, were discovered in Malapa Cave by Professor Lee Berger from the University of Witwatersrand, and Loren Coleman has more on the discovery at Cryptomundo in the report New "Missing Link" Discovered, with images. Elsewhere, thermal imaging gives an odd read-out in Pac-Man Shows Up on the Surface of Saturn's Moon Mimas. Meanwhile, misunderstandings abound in the interpretation of a "so-called supernova remnant" as explained
by Stephen Smith in The Dust of Creeds Unknown.
