Behavior and the General Evolutionary Process - Paper by William Baum.
Behavioral inferences from the Skhul/Qafzeh early modern human hand remains - These results support the inference of significant behavioral differences between Neanderthals and the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids and indicate that a significant shift in human manipulative behaviors was associated with the earliest stages of the emergence of modern humans.
Behavioural economics - Richard Thaler has led a revolution in the study of economics by understanding the strange ways people behave with their money.
Boundary disputes - The brain still resists researchers' attempts to divide it into neat parcels.
Brain Terrain - Mapping the functions of various areas.
Brain and mouth disease - Lionel Tiger investigates diet and longevity.
Building a Brainier Mouse - By genetically engineering a smarter than average mouse, scientists have assembled some of the central molecular components of learning and memory.
Chance and necessity - Although simple filamentous and spherical forms may evolve wherever cellular life exists, the evolution of motile, modular mega-organisms might not be a universal pattern.
Chance would be a fine thing - A long-dead clergyman enters the race to make computers think for themselves.
Chimps touched by television - Chimpanzees are moved by fearful or appealing television scenes.
Cognitive science: The logic of human learning - There is a formal measure of complexity that determines how natural a category is and how difficult it is to learn.
Cultural psychology meets evolutionary psychology - Paper presented at the 8th conference of the International Society for Theoretical Psychology (ISTP), April 25-28, 2000, Sydney.
Cultural revolution in whale songs - The song patterns of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) depend on where they live, with populations inhabiting different ocean basins normally singing quite distinct songs.

Darwinism and the Division of Labour - The founding conference of the British Society for the Social Responsibility in Science in November 1970, was on the theme, 'The Social Impact of Modern Biology'. The conference was attended by a number of eminent scientists, e.g., Nobel Laureates James Watson, Jaques Monod, Maurice Wilkins; David Bohm, Jacob Bronowski, R.G. Edwards (of Steptoe & Edwards, the pioneers of 'test-tube babies'), as well as some radicals, Hilary & Steven Rose, John Beckwith.
