Interesting science story of the day:

Researchers have recovered DNA from a nearly 700,000-year-old horse fossil and assembled a draft of the animal’s genome from it. It is the oldest complete genome to date by a long shot–hundreds of thousands of years older than the previous record holder …

Perkins, Fischer, Bachmann, GOHMERT!, and the like are of course not willing to accept that there were horses around 700,000 years ago.
