The historical roots of this disparity may lie not in the Western frontier, as many believe, but in the institution of slavery and the unusual history of firearms in America.   The adaptive nature of the human neurocognitive architecture: An alternative model PNAS -- Cerra and Bingham 95 (19): 11290 - The model of the human neurocognitive architecture proposed by evolutionary psychologists is based on the presumption that the demands of hunter-gatherer life generated a vast array of cognitive adaptations. Here we present an alternative model.   The mystery of female beauty - Evolutionary psychology suggests that a woman's sexual attractiveness might be based on cues of reproductive potential.   The problem of variation - One genetic source of the sex-specific variation in pigmentation patterns of different fruitfly species has been identified. This study illustrates the power of bringing together developmental and evolutionary biology.   The sweet smell of the immune system - Manfred Milinski and Claus Wedekind find evidence for the hypothesis that "perfumes are selected "for self" to amplify in some way body odors that reveal a person's immunogenetics".   There's more to life than genes - Some scientists argue that genes predetermine our behaviour. But the human condition is not so simple, say Steven Rose and Hilary Rose.   To Love, Honour and Deceive - Long-term relationships are fundamentally dishonest. And it's all women's fault, new research suggests.   Unconscious - Philip Wong and Howard Shevrin have uncovered neurobiological evidence for the human unconscious state.   Variation in the reversibility of evolution - Here we show that reverse evolution back to the ancestral state occurs, but is not universal, instead depending on previous evolutionary history and the character studied.   We are bigger than our genes - thank God - John Humphreys asserts that 'Free will may be an illusion, but it is a valuable one'.   Wealth - Money can bring happiness, if you have a lot of it.   What Is Satisfying About Satisfying Events? Testing 10 Candidate Psychological Needs - Kennon M. Sheldon and colleagues find out what makes people happiest.   What if Human Nature Is Historical - This essay moves from pure ideology about changing human nature to using biofeedback as a transitional topic to spelling out the desiderata for treating human nature as an historical project.   Why do we adapt? The answer's in your genes - Richard Dawkins discusses 'selfish genes'.   Why elephants don't forget - A study of African elephants reveals that dominant females build up a social memory as they get older, helping the herd to survive.   Why we're all getting brighter - Dumbing down? Don't believe it. Scientists have proved we are smarter now than ever before, largely because we watch TV, surf the net, and spend hours chatting to friends.   Why women will always favour the brave - Women will always love a hero, according to a study that found females value bravery above altruism when selecting men, whether it is for marriage, an affair, or a platonic relationship.   Womb Wars - New evidence that a mothers and fathers imprinted genes battle to determine a babys size.   Women will lose as long as men make the rules - All very well, but I have discovered a wrinkle in this argument. Nigel Nicholson, professor of organisational behaviour at the London Business School, has created a theory of evolutionary psychology that basically says that most businesses are run to satisfy distinctly masculine drives.   Women's genes tell them to become mothers early - WOMEN can hear their biological clock ticking as they approach the menopause because they are genetically predisposed to have their first child at an early age.     [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.   Submit a Site - Open Directory Project - Become an Editor
