Nature is the science journal I read most often, but my own interests 
are pretty whimsical and far-ranging.

As I mentioned in my response, sometimes, if the finds are considered newsworthy
enough, they'll make it to at least the popular science press, if not to the
general media. An example from Scientific American:

Two of the best-known examples are Nature and Science:

http://www.nature.com/evoeco/  (personal registration required to view ToC, and
subscription to read articles) Nature is based in the UK.
http://www.sciencemag.org/ (also requires registration and subscription to read
articles)  This is put out by the American Association of the Advancement of
Sciences (AAAS).

But only the most newsworthy items make it to Nature or Science; you have to
check the specialty archaeology and biology journals for this sort of thing.
They're rarely reported even in the popular science press unless they're
particularly noteworthy.

One must be careful to note, however, that if it were my ancestors who made
those drawings, they had better not depend upon their accuracy.  If I were
to draw a picture of modern sheep today, it could definitely be used to
prove that there was an evolutionary transition which occurred today!

[ZION] Archaeology breakthrough--dramatic transitional forms

2002-11-05 Thread Jim Cobabe

Archaeologists have recently discovered fossil evidence of evolutionary 
transitional forms of modern sheep species.  Of course, these illustrations 
are not being promoted as absolutely accurate renderings, science being the 
forever tentative discipline that it is.
