Birth rate, competition are major players in hominid extinctions
April 27th, 2009
Modern human mothers are probably happy that they typically have one, maybe two babies at a time, but for early hominids, low birth numbers combined with competition often spelled extinction.
“The lineages of primates have some traits that make it hard for them to respond to rapid perturbations in the environment,” says Dr. Nina G. Jablonski […]

Status of Research on Human Aging
April 23rd, 2009
Longevity is the new alternative energyWith $10m quickly raised by the Methuselah Foundation, VCs just beginning to see the opportunity and continually soaring healthcare costs, the longevity market could easily become as big as the alternative energy/climate change solutions market has become now.
Longevity research statusGrossly generalizing, the main focus in aging research is figuring out […]

The morphogenesis of evolutionary developmental biology (Int. J, Dev. Biol.)
April 19th, 2009
[Gilbert, Int. J. Dev. Biol. 47: 467-477 (2003)]
Abstract:
The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics, medical embryology and mathematical modeling. This essay will trace one of the major pathways, that from evolutionary embryology […]
Graduate research: is it school or work?
April 13th, 2009
Here’s an Opinion piece posted on behalf of Joel:
“I had an interesting (mostly one-sided… sorry Laura) conversation yesterday, which has led me to write a little opinion-piece.
I obtained my first research experiences working in a basic biology department at a small university. I was lucky enough to find a phenomenal mentor and get some […]

On the biological basis of homosexuality
April 10th, 2009
A study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Ivanka Savic and colleagues indicates that the brains of lesbian women react differently to sexual stimuli when compared to those of heterosexual women. The researchers found that lesbians respond to both AND, a progesterone derivative, and EST, an estrogen-like substance – […]
