sasha_featherWho doesn't like National Geographic? I've read this magazine on and off for years, enjoying the spectacular photos, the wide scientific coverage, and the consistent education about global warming. This article caused me to throw the December issue across the room:
December 2009
National Geographic, page 120, article: "Love is in the Air": Birds do it, bees do it, even pollinating plants do it.

As humans we take many things for granted. One is surely the ability to walk, crawl, or even, after a little too much to drink, drag ourselves over to a lovely member of the opposite sex.
Oh really, Rob Dunn?
He apparently takes it for granted that humans are heterosexual, able-bodied enough to move independently, and all choose to imbibe in alcohol to further these goals. Also, I'm not even sure what this sentence has to do with pollen. I didn't read the article.
