2) Weird search query of the week: “nicole kidman androgen insensitivity”. I thought she had a baby a few years ago? Say it ain’t so!
3) Comment of the week, in response to The Assyrians and Jews: 3,000 years of common history:
Dear Discover Magazine Editor,
I am writing to you to inform you that Razib Khan, the author of your Gene Expression Blog, has used ideas from my linearpopulation blog without citing my work.

Ashkenazi and Syrian Jews:

I trust that you will help Razib tighten up his attention to citation.
Should he fail to do this, I have sufficient evidence to proceed with this matter further.Sincerely,
