Washington University, St. Louis, MO, reports it has received one of the largest grants in the school’s history to digitize pre-Civil War lawsuits from slaves that sued slave-holders in the Saint Louis Circuit Court.

The grant will require 30 staff members from the library and two years to complete.  The university formally calls the project St. Louis Circuit Court Historical Records Project.  The project will scan some 20,000 pages from various city sources such as city directories and court documents.

Robert McCarthy, Florida Atlantic University professor, developed up some type of computer model that he claims generates sounds of the Neanderthal. Don’t need a PhD for this…..”ugh.”

Although theory, it is an interesting topic as reported by FoxNews. A Washington University St. Louis staff member, Erik Trinkaus, feels this is not possible.
