It is very beautiful.When I first saw it I thought it that it is a drawing.
Sure. The chief of corse was aware of the fact because his blood too had bee used for DNA analysis too. His general reaction was of awe and fascination . Who would'nt be? Quite a finding.
Have you discussed on the lines of my article? What was his reaction?
Sure she can call me. She is welcome to call any time. in fact i too was thinking about calling her.
He was tremendously tall. About 7 ft 1 '. He basically discussed there way of life and their intense relations with nature. Their love for cows and their conflicts with Simba as he called it. He was also concerned about African wild life and said that his tribe was intense about saving the Serengeti. He said that without the Serengeti,we would not have any animal stories to tell our children. Had amazingly shiny skin and pearl white teeth. Very charming and carried a wide smile most of the time! We also had a discussion about the DNA research by National Geographic.
right now Geeta is online with me, can I tell her to call you?
Yes. i t was very crowded . Big success.
Now I have 2 scientific names. Which one is correct? I am confused.
