Evolutionary Context of Human Development: the Cooperative Breeding Model
According to the Cooperative Breeding Hypothesis, allomaternal assistance was essential for child survival during the Pleistocene. This breeding system — quite novel for an ape — permitted hominid females to produce costly offspring without increasing inter-birth intervals, and allowed humans to move into new habitats, eventually expanding out of Africa. Reliance on allomaternal assistance woul...
متن کاملWhen the chips are down.
Mini revolutions in DNA technology began with the structure of the double helix. Several major advances over the last 45 years include restriction enzyme mapping, DNA sequencing, and PCR. Each advance generated much excitement, and its importance was recognized by the Nobel Prize. And now, once again, DNA technology has made a quantum leap. Even a few years ago it would have seemed preposterous...
متن کاملSymbols are not uniquely human
Modern semiotics is a branch of logics that formally defines symbol-based communication. In recent years, the semiotic classification of signs has been invoked to support the notion that symbols are uniquely human. Here we show that alarm-calls such as those used by African vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), logically satisfy the semiotic definition of symbol. We also show that the acquis...
متن کاملPinning Down the Artists ?
There is a wide variety of work being done by artists working both in conventional genres such as Music, Dance and Theatre as well as newly emergent hybrid and innovative forms such as real-time animation and physically distributed and telematic performance. I want to build up a picture both of what technical resources artists are employing – and to what effect technology is being used; what th...
متن کاملWhen does human life begin?: an evolutionary perspective
The question – »when does human life begin?« – is without doubt an important one, and the answer to it has different yet equally profound consequences in diverse fields such as medicine, theology, ethics, and anthropology. But before one can begin to tackle the topic and its ramifications, one must first be certain that that one is not conflating a conception about »the beginning of human life«...
