Things have been a little slow here during the last week or so, but for good reason. Between final exams, the in-laws stopping by for an extended visit, moving into a new apartment, and other miscellaneous events I have barely had time to sit down and write.

(It might not seem like a big deal to you, but if you lived where I have for the past three years, you would be thankful to have rooms actually separated by doors.) I can hardly wait to set up my library and start composing again! First up: a review of Darwin's Lost World and an essay about why paleoanthropology needed G.G. Simpson.

Believe me, I sympathize. Forget doors; when my housemates and I moved into our current place, we didn't have walls.
