A small fish in the Aquarium at London Zoo. Unfortunately I don't know what sort of fish; it wasn't until a little later that I hit upon the idea of taking a photo of the name-plate of each animal that I photographed.

Two Patagonian maras (Dolichotis patagonum) at London Zoo. Large rodents from South America.
Sat 2008-03-15 John Hawks commenting on this account of a talk by Francesco D'Errico:
Given the confluence of the recent evidence from genetics, archaeology, and anatomy, I do not see how anyone can maintain the hypothesis that Neandertals (and presumably, other Late Pleistocene humans) did not have language.

There is a very good interview with John Hawks here which provides a nice introduction to his work on the evolution of the human genome.

Today I took Zoe on a trip in to London. First we went to Foyle's where I bought a few books, then to London Zoo where I took a few photos, including this one. It is an Abdim's Stork (Ciconia abdimii).
