#Horses, a 4,000 year genetic journey across the world, by Ludovic Orlando (translated). Somewhen somewhere in our past a group of people figured out domesticating horses for fun & profit. Their horses are ancestors to all horses today. The search for the first domesticated horses combines archeology, linguistics, genetics to track down who did it and where and when. #bookstodon #science #genetics Spoiler: it was the Yamna Kurgan indo-European speakers on the Pontic steppe.

I'm quite enjoying this. Even with the sting of remember those years of AIDS and loss in the late 80s. #WhatImReading

Where the Water Goes, by David Owen. Water in the US South West is way more fraught than elsewhere. Who “owns” it, who gets it, and why, have been contentious issues for over 150 years. Basically there’s not enough, but no one wants to cut back. Severe drought isn’t helping. Owen travels the length of the #coloradoRiver, describes & explains the issues and the people involved, clearly, and with some humor. If you live in the West you might wanna know about this stuff.

"The straight line of liberty is something I admire, without being able to walk it."

"Amazing. I'm living the great dream of my childhood, the scenes of kissing and embracing so often imagined and acted out. Where is the guilt I thought I would feel--and the love? The idea that going out with a boy is some kind of pinnacle of experience is definitely dead, almost laughable. Our two bookbags lie side by side in the grass, but a life together, forget it. For the first time I'm terrorized by the idea of marriage. I'm beginning to emerge, to disencumber myself."

This is interesting. I may skim over some of the technical parts, but I'm happy they're in there. Maybe I'll learn something.
