How
similar are the chromosomes of man, chicken and chimps? (Nature)
'Indeed, at 6 million years of separation, the difference in
MSY [male-specific region of Y] gene content
in chimpanzee and human is more comparable to the difference in autosomal gene content in chicken and human, at 310 million years of separation.' [emphasis mine]
The 2012 AOGS - AGU (WPGM) Joint Assembly see fit to remove both the
abstract and the talk
from their program!
Here was the original talk on the program
It doesn't seem possible - new realms of aerodynamics

Fig.1. The leading edge vortex (LEV) sheds from a translating model
insect wing, regardless of its sweep angle, whereas it remains stably
attached when the wing revolves. The LEV is visualized at Reynolds
number Re=110 and 1400 with small air bubbles
released at the leading and trailing edges of the wing. The distance (s)
traveled by the wings is given in chord lengths c
at the radius of gyration Rg.
(A) LEVs are unstable on swept wings, shown for 40° sweep at =36° and Re=1400. (B) The LEV is also unstable on the same wing without sweep. (C) Revolving the same wing results in a LEV that remains stably attached, shown for clarity
at Re=110 and s=8c, where s is the distance traveled in chord lengths. (J

The
greatest hoax on Earth - an exposure of the weakness and dirty tactics used by some proponents of neo-Darwinian evolution -
highly recommended reading.
