...Such feuds aren't surprising, perhaps. After all, as Thorne says, "There are more human evolutionists than there are fossils to go along with them." And the argument isn't likely to be settled soon. DNA tests of the skeleton might prove conclusively that it's from a modern human, but DNA doesn't last long in the tropics, so any effort to recover genetic material is likely to fail. Meanwhile, the search for additional fossil evidence is on hold because Jakarta has barred further excavations at the site where the hobbit was found. For now, he remains in scientific...

But the city's population has swelled since 2000 to around 31,000, according to local officials, about 8,000 of which are Hispanics, or more than a quarter of the residents. Police Chief Robert Ferdinand said he doesn't have good statistics yet to prove it, but his officers are reporting an increasing number of illegal immigrants being involved with violent incidents.

...Election observers feared that a clear-cut Kabila win would spark violence, especially in the capital. Most of the other presidential runners had, after all, already claimed the vote was rigged. But even with a second round now required, tensions have spilled over, and defusing them will prove difficult.
