Hell of a cliff hanger for a paid article.

"Scientists find three ancient viruses. They think they can infect modern human cells with them." The end.

Wtf. Are they gonna accidentally murder humanity next? What happens after?! Are we gonna die!?

We found very ancient human viruses! To the lab! Gotta see if we can use them to infect modern humans...

I know that research is generally for good, but why is it so hard to tell if a quote is from an actual researcher or a comics super-villain?

We may already have resistance to them, by sharing up to 2% of neanderthal DNA. Viruses can alter the host genetically, and those mutations are passed on to offspring. Ancient to current viruses make up to 8% of human DNA.
