Hsien Hsien Lei (The Sci-Health Channel Editor here at b5) comments on a C|Net article talking about how our DNA is still mutating and evolving (this is a good thing, BTW) with a catchy headline about becoming X-Men (nice tie-in with X3 coming out in a couple weeks).
Sigh. As a commenter left on Hsien’s blog:

And this is what the Sci-Health blogs are all about, especially this one. Unfortunately the media isn’t about promoting good science or education as much as getting more readers with catchy headlines.
Hsien discusses the article much better than I could, so go visit her blog and read the whole scoop.
