Aardvarchaeology is hosting the latest Four Stone Hearth (#66 to be exact), which rounds up the best of anthropology blogging over the past fortnight.
I couldn’t resist this absurdly cute photo, but go over there for the latest on population genetics of modern Africans, the Flores hobbits, cross-cultural variation in creationism, first hugs, and more.

I agree — great photo. I wonder what it is about the ‘so-ugly-it’s-cute’ animal? There seems to be a pattern of scrunchy pink with overly large eyes or ears or paws…. And I don’t know how you’d try to fit that into the whole ‘we’re-attracted-to-things-because-they’re-adaptive’ explanatory framework would work.
Wicked photo !!
