The VU in JP has announced they are ceasing cafe operations but are continuing on as a video rental club and coffee roaster, and I have a lot of respect for them for making that choice.
I don't think it's particularly controversial to posit that Punt is in or near the horn of Africa, and while DNA analysis is rock solid for recent genealogy and can be carefully used to provide limited but valuable historical insights, this blog feels weird, like it's pushing an agenda way beyond what the research supports. It seems desperate to tie things together specifically and neatly, and I just get the sense information is being cherry picked, science is probably being misunderstood, and its constant rolling out of photos of modern people (including Rocco Siffredi, LOL) to confirm physiognomy with ancient art makes me think it's got some crackpot neo-phrenology creepiness going on. The fact that the authors refuse to identify themselves and talk about "private research" in their 54-question FAQ is not confidence-inspiring.

Star Trek really ought to explore that more -- assimilated non-humanoids. Spaceborne species like gormaganders, maybe changelings, 8472 could make another appearance and this time the borg can assimilate them.
There was a Star Trek: Voyager themed arcade shooter (the kind that had a lightgun that you fired at the screen) that had this guy in it. Definitely went a little off canon, but that was a good thing, I think. They called that assimilated hulk dude a "Chaotic Assimilation" and explained in some of the lore that his physiology was resistant to assimilation and he was kindof half-assimilated or some shit. That was awesome stuff.
