Study from University of Oxford looks into evolutionary origins of kissing and its role in relations between species
From Galápagos albatrosses to polar bears, chimpanzees to orangutans, certain species appear to kiss. Now researchers suggest Neanderthals did it too – and might even have locked lips with modern humans.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Rosanna Deerchild interviewed Gary Farmer about Graham Greene. Essential listening. He openly wept at the end as he spoke of how the raven could have made us out of stone if he wanted us to live forever, but instead he made us out of leaves.
