This is a good read with an interesting selection of articles. Notable articles included topics like the role of dark matter in the universe's expansion (The Universe's Invisible Hand), the growing use of robots in warfare (The Coming Robot Army), new archaeological evidence of the early Christian church (First Churches of the Jesus Cult), the brain and music (Bolt from the Blue), and the role of retro-viruses in the human genome (Darwin's Surprise). The later was particularly interesting because these viruses embed themselves in the genome in ways that can lead to -- technically -- a new species. Hmmm, maybe we are all Cylons!
