Very cool story published today about a man named Inuk. An international team of 53 scientists has rebuilt the genome of an ancient human for the first time. The man was a Palaeo-Eskimo who lived about 4,000 years ago on the western coast of Greenland. The group analyzed more than 350,000 SNPs.

It was reported in the Minneapolis paper that, based on DNA analysis, that this man had "dry ear wax", this in contradistinction, to northern European "wet ear wax." I'm not sure what the difference is and I'm not sure I want to find out. Dad
