happening in science and technology read journals dedicated to the field. Popular Science/Popular Mechanics and other
magazines of that type will beat the best general interest news organizations by at least a year sometimes two. Scientific
American will be 5 years ahead of them, though you might have to read between the lines.
By the way, I was wrong about when the Novel which used man's descent from a coursing hunter as part of the plot device
was published, it was 1987.

It may not be peer reviewed but the authors don't get their ideas out of thin air, the best actually read
scientific journals. But that's not the point. The BBC and most other news organizations are well behind
the curve in science and technology. They report science "News" that is usually about 10 years out of date.
Clearly no point in persuading you otherwise Pete!

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
