The site's author is "Naglfar"? Is that a Norse thing? Or is he/she a black metal fan? Or is it just an in-joke?

from Wikipedia:
"The ship (Naglfar) will lead hordes against the gods in the last war at the end of time, before a new world will arise from the sea."

Question for Dr. Harpending:
From the outtakes:
"For some reason, anthropologists treat behavioral modernity as a qualitative character ... behavioral modernity must be more like height than pregnancy."
This is in reference to ancient human populations. Do contemporary human populations differ in genetic potential for degree of behavioral modernity, like they do in genetic potential for height?

"Do contemporary human populations differ in genetic potential for degree of behavioral modernity, like they do in genetic potential for height?"
First you have to come up with a definition of behavioral modernity that you like, then figure out how to measure it.
Beats me.
