    Live in Happiness...

    Today's show seemed to center on the interconnectedness of everything. From evolution to brains to cities, it all seems to be linked.

    We discussed new evidence of human evolution, mutations abounding in each of us, cities as brains and vice versa, neurons with feet, old brains don't have to shrink, lactase persistence, why some mice don't get fat, and magnetic monopoles in theory.

    We also took a peek into the minion mailbag. Thanks to everyone for writing in.

    Music on the show was by Unbalanced Wheel, William Grant Preston, and Prophets of the Machine.

    Listen to it all here.

    This month the TWIS Bookclub is reading Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near". Check it out:
