This Week's Letters

The debate continues about whether Neandertals could speak like humans. A group of letter writers defends the U.S. National Park Service against a critic of its decision to let Yellowstone National Park burn in 1988. The effect of orcas killing sea otters in the North Pacific Ocean is explored. A reader writes that "as few as four whales, eating only otters, could have been responsible for the loss of some 40,000 sea otters in the Aleutians." Recommendations of the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law are clarified. And a 1975 prediction about climate change appears to be correct.
