Three Quick Links for Tuesday Afternoon

I don't know about you, but I will read any article titled "How Humans Lost Their Tails", especially if it's written by @carlzimmer. "A team of scientists in New York say they have pinpointed the genetic mutation that may have erased our tails." [nytimes.com]

An appreciation of the college education by Agnes Callard. "Let me come out and tell you what a university is for: a university is a place where people help each other access the highest intellectual goods." [thepointmag.com]

Robert Durst, subject of HBO's The Jinx, was convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of his friend Susan Berman. "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." [nytimes.com]
