I'm not saying that my editor and I didn't trade cat pictures back and forth for two hours for this story.

But I'm also not saying we didn't.

@beebrookshire It's always delightful seeing the arrogance of modern humans. Assuming they know the Roth and hand the whole picture from a few random DNA samples. I wish all research was appropriately qualified with terms such as "to the best of our knowledge" or "from what we know so far" or "as far as our tools allow us to understand at this time".
