50,000 year old herpes virus discovered

I saw this in the UK's Guardian newspaper and thought it might be of interest- Leonard would this help your paper? Some very interesting history and findings that could explain how Neanderthals were wiped out and Homo Sapiens survived.

Hi Jaded, Thank you. Interesting reflections in the article. I think herpes is not only making us sick but has also contributed to strenghtening our cells and our immune system. Very weird.. The article also shows what a thin line evolution must have been and how lucky we are that we are here today. Evolution could have taken a completely different turn..
