Man has it gotten cold! I was definitely enjoying the unseasonable warmness that
marked the end of 2003 around these parts. At approximately 0.0001% body fat,
I am just not built for cold snaps. On that topic,
Ice Age Ancestry
May Keep Body Warmer and Healthier (registration required) is an article sent along today by
linkmeister general Mike Martinez with a bit on the science behind keeping
warm. This just makes me wonder how my ancestors made it through the ice age,
as if they adapted to the cold, it's hard to see what of that they passed along
to me. I am pretty good at building campfires (and in more civilized moments,
working the thermostat).... maybe that's my genetic gift in this regard.
