Nonetheless, I would wish NGS to be above unadulterated beauty pageants.

Big difference. That’s like going to Yahoo! News’ “Most Popular” page and claiming that Yahoo! has deemed those stories most important.That being said, most of these stories are arguably among the least important of the year. My top pick is probably the findings about the start of urbanization at Tell Brak.
