...Another of Morwood and Brown?s theories-that their hobbits evolved directly from Homo erectus, which was thought to have died out a half-million or so years ago-which the critics lambasted, is now looking less likely. But their new idea is even more audacious: the hobbits, they suggest, may come directly from the Australopithecus family, which went extinct something like 2 million years ago. Their detailed argument for this notion has yet to be published, and critics are still very cautious even about embracing the idea that the hobbits represent a new species at all. But while...
...sometimes they misuse big words. Alex Slack has managed to commit all three sins in just one article (“The Easy Way to Fix Fly-By,” comment, Oct. 6). First, if he truly believes that all cotton garments are equally non-abrasive, I suggest that he try sleeping on denim sheets for a night. Second, although I myself am a frequent flyer-by, I haven’t seen any evidence of the innate lasagna-spooning inability he reports among short females.

Apart from providing insurance against gaps in the diet, supplements can provide optimum dosages of natural therapeutic agents that may help prevent and treat age-related diseases. Consider vitamin E. Oil-rich seeds and nuts are the main food source of it. Many studies suggest that doses in the range of 200 IUs to 400 IUs of alpha-tocopherol (or, better, 80 mg to 160 mg of the whole complex, including tocotrienols) offer the best antioxidant protection against common age-related diseases. Nuts are good for you, but you would have to eat far too many to get that amount...
