This is the project forecast for 9/23 through 9/27. Elevations of 8,000-10,000 will incur possible extreme weather conditions.
Engines 1663 and 1667 scheduled Monday -Thursday in Fruitland for Ken Ludwig. Take chipper.
Alta H.C. scheduled Monday-Thursday for the North Slope Hazard Tree removal.(forest health too!) on Mirror Lake Highway 150. Access from Evanston,Wy. Camping is at Bear Flats Forest Rd 058. (the same place we camped in May while working at Monviso and the other Neandertal* Neighborhood.)
Lone Peak IHC scheduled Monday-Thursday for the North Slope Hazard Tree removal.(forest health too!) on Mirror Lake Highway 150. Access from Evanston,Wy. Camping is at Bear Flats Forest Rd 058. (the same place we camped in May while working at Monviso and the other Neandertal* Neighborhood.)
Twin Peaks I.A. scheduled Monday-Thursday for the North Slope Hazard Tree removal.(forest health too!) on Mirror Lake Highway 150. Access from Evanston,Wy. Camping is at Bear Flats Forest Rd 058. (the same place we camped in May while working at Monviso and the other Neandertal* Neighborhood.)
BTW, the office overhead* will be in the field to assist and support your efforts.
Odds are you carry DNA from a Neandertal, Denisovan or some other archaic human. Just a few years ago such a statement would have been virtually unthinkable. For decades evidence from genetics seemed to support the theory that anatomically modern humans arose as a new species in a single locale in Africa and subsequently spread out from there, replacing archaic humans throughout the Old World without mating with them. But in recent years geneticists have determined that, contrary to that conventional view, anatomically modern Homo sapiens did in fact interbreed with archaic humans, and that their DNA persists in people today. In the May issue of Scientific American, Michael Hammer of the University of Arizona in Tucson examines the latest genetic findings and explores the possibility that DNA from these extinct relatives helped H. sapiens become the wildly successful species it is today.
I have an enduring interest in the rise of H. sapiens; and as longtime readers of this blog may know, I’m fascinated (you might even say obsessed) with Neandertals. So naturally I’ve been keen to find out how much, if any, Neandertal DNA I have in my own genome. Several consumer genetic testing companies now test for Neandertal genetic markers as part of their broader ancestry analysis, and after 23andMe lowered the price of their kit to $99 in December, I decided to take the plunge. As it happens, National Geographic’s Genographic Project had recently updated their own genetic test to look for Neandertal DNA, and they sent me a kit (retail price: $299) for editorial review, much as publishers do with new books. And so it was on a chilly Tuesday in late September that I found myself spitting into a test tube for 23andMe and swabbing my cheek for the Genographic Project. (Our next safety study.)
