Dear Mr. Hopkin,

The research described is very interesting indeed. However, I could not find the source of the reference given in the end of the article (1).

As of November 14, 2006, 14:00 CET, the PNAS Early Edition did not have it published at: http://www.pnas.org/papbyrecent.shtml

Hence, I was wondering where Ms Erika Check read about it, so that I could read the full text of the original article too.

If you know it, could you please post the link to the article as a comment?

Thank you very much in advance.
