Okay. I got it.

I'll get it out tomorrow probably.

I've got it downloaded Min. Thanks. I'll get around to watching it a little later, now that there is no football for a few days.

Pando has a new upgrade - it seemed to download a bit faster.

I'm not so sure about their conclusion. I've always beena bit suspicious of these so-called "genetic markers."

I watched it. I really like the Yanghai Shaman dude. They think he was a shaman, but I know this dude was a musician. He had all the stuff musicians have; instruments, bells, flashy clothes, and weed. My ancestor!

The show and the conclusions it presented seemed ok. I did hear a few little dumb errors from the narrator, but that stuff is written by some hollywood writer who is appealing to the average couch potato. The scientists seemed to know what they were doing and their conclusions sounded good to me. I admmittedly know little about DNA, but it seems logical to me that in an "in between" land like that there would be a mixed bag of people and they would create their own culture. I give the show a thumbs up.

Can I download this anywhere, guys?

Ish,

PM me an e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

It's a service called Pando which allows for e-mail attachments up to 1 gig in size.

When you get the e-mail it will explain how to download Pando.
