Where the White People Live - The Atlantic
I could not read or note every worthy article that was published last calendar year and I haven't included any paywalled articles or anything published at The Atlantic. Participants were asked how much they drank and how often, as well as whether they ever experienced any negative consequences from drinking, such as lower grades, regrettable sex, or craving a drink first thing in the morning
More important, analysis of the genome casts doubt on the notion that modern humans are simply daintier but otherwise identical versions of our ancestors, right down to how we think and feel. In 1958 the Russian geneticist Dmitri Belyaev started raising silver foxes in captivity, initially selecting to breed only the animals that were the slowest to snarl when a human approached their cage
The problem is when trolls and spambots overwhelm the former, diminishingour ability to do the latter.That is not to suggest that we are the only website in the world that attracts vexing commenters. And because comments sections tend to be a grotesque reflection of the media culture surrounding them, the cynical work of undermining bedrock scientific doctrine is now being done beneath our own stories, within a website devoted to championing science.There are plenty of other ways to talk back to us, and to each other: through Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, livechats, email, and more
For these critics, the focus on individuals in isolation from their context fails to capture the political structures, particularly the structures of power, that underlie current practices in which animals are used. For many feminists the traditional methods of rational argumentation fail to take into account the feelings of sympathy or empathy that humans have towards non-humans, feelings they believe are central to a full account of what we owe non-humans and why
Teenage Brains - Pictures, More From National Geographic Magazine
Such thinking carried into the late 20th century, when researchers developed brain-imaging technology that enabled them to see the teen brain in enough detail to track both its physical development and its patterns of activity. They ask, What can explain this behavior? But even that is just another way of wondering, What is wrong with these kids? Why do they act this way? The question passes judgment even as it inquires
At 1800 hours on a Sunday night, the station was crowded with more than 300 fans returning from a soccer-match pitting Feyenoord against Ajax at De Kuip, the most beautiful soccer stadium in Holland... The opposite of role models, these living legends are here on Earth to serve as a warning to others! DARWIN AWARD: Striking It Rich (or, Shafted) (1) A vodka-swilling pill-popping airline customer
Sorting anything from furniture to animals to concepts into different filing folders inside our brains is something that happens automatically, and it helps us function. Rather, we are more and less prejudiced, based on our upbringings and experiences but also on a variety of temporary or situational prompts (like being told we're on the green team)
Top Ten Reasons You Should Quit Facebook
Facebook's Terms Of Service state that not only do they own your data (section 2.1), but if you don't keep it up to date and accurate (section 4.6), they can terminate your account (section 14). Regardless of the hype, the fact remains that Sergei Brin or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett could personally acquire a majority stake in Facebook without even straining their bank account
10 Reasons You Do NOT Want a German Shepherd Dog
(Although costly hip replacement surgeries have become more commonplace for dogs with severe CHD, the expense and possible complications lead many people to the decision of having the dog humanely put down. German Shepherds bond very tightly to their owners, usually to the extent that frequent rehoming can cause behavioral problems brought on by insecurity
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - The Go Programming Language
Your favorite feature may be missing because it doesn't fit, because it affects compilation speed or clarity of design, or because it would make the fundamental system model too difficult.

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 1
Therefore, since common descent is a genealogical process, common descent should produce organisms that can be organized into objective nested hierarchies. Both Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation and Einstein's General Theory of Relativity rely upon a fundamental physical constant, G, the gravitational constant
Reply Mike says: 26 January, 2012 at 00:07 What I do not understand is that a significant part of American society would not have a problem with someone giving a smoker at a bus stop a lecture on how what they are doing is bad for them and can lead to their potential death. The awarding ceremony was held at Terrazza Caffarelli, on the Capitoline Hill, which was also visited by President Obama and his wife on their state visit to Rome
Why Women Have Sex: Women Reveal the Truth About Their Sex Lives, from Adventure to Revenge (and Everything in Between): Cindy M. Meston, David M. Buss: 9780312662653: Amazon.com: Books
http://www.amazon.com/Why-Women-Have-Sex-Everything/dp/0312662653There are some good monographs like this one out there these days - Spent: Sex, Evolution, and Consumer Behavior, The Murderer Next Door: Why the Mind Is Designed to Kill, etc.One thing that I did not like at all about this book was the emphasis on research subjects who are college students. I found it to be fascinatingly informative and at the same time, an enjoyable read owing to the authors' somewhat humorous and unorthodox approach to the topic
Spoiled Rotten - The New Yorker
Marano, an editor-at-large at Psychology Today, tells about a high school in Washington State that required students to write an eight-page paper and present a ten-minute oral report before graduating. In order to secure this advantage, they will do pretty much anything, which means not just taking care of all the cooking and cleaning but also helping their children with math homework, hiring them S.A.T

It is therefore probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee; and as these two species are now man's nearest allies, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere." (Darwin 1871, p. Prediction 2.6: Past biogeography Example 1: marsupials Example 2: horses Example 3: apes and humans Past biogeography, as recorded by the fossils that are found, must also conform to the standard phylogenetic tree

The (boring) truth is that it usually advances incrementally, through the steady accretion of data and insights gathered by many people over many years. We went around killing each other to get on a throne, praying to a rain god, and for better and much worse, doing things pretty much as our ancestors did
