[2021-05-04 11:40:10] [Kristian Andersen] Need to check this against the Tanzania one - quite interesting [2021-05-04 12:25:22] [Robert Garry] "Interesting evolutionary stuff going on on the African continent..."

Definitely need to sort out what is going on in Africa.... [2021-05-04 13:19:03] [Eddie Holmes] And breathe.

At least Jeremy's book will put the record straight. [2021-05-04 16:38:28] [Eddie Holmes] Will Scripps make a statement?
