Scandal of Aids transfusions puts ex-ministers in the dock

Article Abstract:

France's former Socialist Prime Minister Laurent Fabius and two of his ministers are to appear before a special court in Paris, France, accused of manslaughter. It is alleged that they yielded to commercial pressure to allow HIV-infected blood to continue to be used in the French health service for five months after it became known in 1985 that this blood posed dangers to patients. The prosecution claims that the continued use of HIV-infected blood led directly to seven people being unnecessarily infected with the Aids virus.

The Neanderthal in all of us

Article Abstract:

A new element has been introduced into research on human origins with the discovery at a Stone Age site in Portugal of the skeleton of a four-year-old boy who appears to have been a hybrid child resulting from the interbreeding of Neanderthals with modern man's direct ancestors. This boy died around 5,000 years after Neanderthals seem to have become extinct on the Iberian peninsula. If he really did have Neanderthal traits, then this indicates continuous interbreeding between Iberian Neanderthals and early anatomically modern humans.
