Ps & Qs: Living with our past
Research shows that humans may be born with our ancestors’ emotional experiences already imprinted in our genetic makeup.

That knowledge could come in handy, after Farrar accepted the job of interim Basalt town manager on Tuesday. Basalt’s town manager shuffle started last year when Mike Scanlon left his post.
