NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Exciting and provocative . . . A tour de force of a book that begs to be seen as well as to be read.”— The Washington Post Book World World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots  for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a thrilling saga that starts with the origin of the Earth. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits—self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics—are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals. Sagan and Druyan conduct a breathtaking journey through space and time, zeroing in on critical turning points in evolutionary history, and tracing the origins of sex, altruism, violence, rape, and dominance. Their book culminates in a stunningly original examination of the connection between primate and human traits. Astonishing in its scope, brilliant in its insights, and an absolutely compelling read, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a triumph of popular science.

Latest Email Hack Too Dull to Get Outraged About

Another email hack from Guccifer 2.0! So what did we learn?

Let’s see. Colin Powell thinks that Donald Trump is a racist idiot who has no shame. That seems fair. Also, Powell thinks that Hillary Clinton could have handled her email affair better. Hard to argue with that. And Powell really, really didn’t want her email woes to be connected to him. That may or may not be fair, but it’s certainly understandable.

In addition, there’s apparently some unremarkable stuff about “tech initiatives from Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine’s time as governor of Virginia, and some years-old missives on redistricting efforts and DNC donor outreach strategy.” Exciting! Plus a bunch of spreadsheets listing DNC donors. That’s a bummer for the DNC, but otherwise pretty dull.

I don’t know who Guccifer is, or whether he’s a front for the Russian government, but he needs to step up his game. If there’s any more like this, he’s going to give email hacking a bad name.

The week may be over, but February’s just begun! Here are this week’s top stories in renewable fuel:

The Associated Press covers the exciting progress the renewable fuel industry has made toward commercial production of fuels made from plant residue, wood scraps or garbage.
A piece in AOL Energy debunks five myths about renewable fuel.
Jeff Lautt, CEO of POET, writes an op-ed in The Argus Leader on the real truths about ethanol.
The oil lobby released a new study, falsely claiming that 15 percent ethanol blends damage car engines, and the Renewable Fuels Association offered a detailed rebuttal.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s BioTechnology Institute have “developed a technique to ‘trick’ common iron-eating bacteria into capturing electrons” as part of a process to create renewable fuel.

That’s all for now – have a happy Friday!
