Wiley has posted double digit gains in revenue this last quarter. What will all you anthropologists who have worked for Wiley-Blackwell for free (reviewing, editing and promoting W-B publications) do with this windfall?

Headline from Radio New Zealand:

They were ostentatiously wearing stripes of red ochre and manganese dioxide beneath their right eyes.
Headline from The Telegraph:

That's an explanation for the "Upper Paleolithic revolution" I hadn't thought of.
MRS. PUFF: Congratulations, SpongeBob, you pass!
SPONGEBOB: But Mrs. Puff, I don't feel like I've really done anything.
MRS. PUFF: That's how extra credit is supposed to feel!
Man, I wish I'd have thought of this:
Mojoceratops: New Dinosaur Species Named for Flamboyant Frill

Ringo Starr turns 70 years old today. Many are reminiscing about some music group he was apparently part of. As for myself, I will forever treasure his genius performance in the 1981 film, Caveman.

If you want to give yourself a caveman (or cavewoman) makeover, well, now there's an app for that:
The MEanderthal app (a combination of "me" and "Neanderthal") just released by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History for the iPhone or Android, is grounded in science. It relies on what is known about the appearance of our closest extinct relatives, the Neanderthals, to transform your face into the face of an early human.
The art is based on John Gurche's reconstructions, so I guess you'll be Gurchelating yourself. Gurchetizing?
The New York Times decided to honor our newfound ancestry with Neandertals by...
...commissioning some ding-dong to write a fictionalized Neandertal pick-up act, where the Neandertal talks like an Indian in a movie western.
Real classy, there, NY Times.
A JAPANESE spacecraft will land in Australia in June, bringing with it samples from an asteroid found 300 million kilometres from Earth.
Uhh...isn't that how Godzilla movies usually start?
