Glad to see this keep getting attention by way of this site. I saw Vice News also has a long-form piece, and even interviewed and referenced the author and the Atavist piece! This looks like the definitive write-up and account. I hope the potential film rights are lucrative. However, if Thomas Lennon & Robert Ben Garant's screenwriting bible is any indication, the Hollywood system will most definitely find a way to monkey with the formula and deliver some kind of mutated...thing...for us. Many compliments on the fine journalism!


It's a 7 part series I believe,not sure if you were saying this article is the definitive account, perhaps you meant the whole series.
