OK, one more and then I'll be a good boy and try to get back on the techy wagon (but believe me, the technology behind this stuff is freakin' amazing!). Anyway, the title says it all. This is an interesting pop-science piece that discusses what human geneticists have been discovering for 20 years or more - that some big parts of our genome have been "incorporated" from outside - we are what we used to be infected by!
