New Scientist Cryptobiology Article

Unread post by NoPolys »

An interesting article, not really off the topic, just too broadly formed for anywhere else.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg2 ... gists.html.

A short read I hope gives encouragement

Cheers

Sound's like he has an open mind mate . I'd reckon he'd be treading on shakey ground though . (lol)

I liked the " taring " comments at the bottom of the page .

Nice to see someone sticking there neck out .

Mike;

When has someone writing a magazine article ever let facts get in the way????? (lol)

Having said that, at least it was a feel good article, as well as admitting (backhandedly) most "new" species are ethno-known before they are "discovered".
