Human evolution; Neanderthal pain gene (Introduction)
DAVID: The study shows what we can learn by decoding DNA. I've always told patients pain is a friend as a helpful warning.
dhw: And I’m sure they screamed their appreciation.
DAVID: They all loved me.
dhw: Now that is a theory which I really can believe. Followers of this forum might well imagine that David and I are permanently at daggers drawn, so I will take this opportunity to redress the balance. We met just once, six and a half years ago, when he and his wife came to England. It’s hard to imagine a more delightful couple, and the bond of friendship remains as strong as ever. I regard it as a privilege to know him, and our battles on this forum do not detract one iota from my respect, admiration and affection for a truly remarkable man.
Well, I guess it is the time to reveal the truth. We are firm friends with a difference of opinion. And my feelings for dhw equal his. Is it really six and a half years ago? Remembered like yesterday, the house, the wonderful gifted family.
