The idea that aging is a purposeful, programmed series of events is intuitively appealing based on its many conserved aspects and the demonstrated feasibility of modifying life span by manipulating single genes or pathways. Yet, the case for a nonadaptive basis of aging is strong and now all but generally accepted in the field. Here, we briefly review why the case for programmed aging is weak, ...

We report on the cytogenetics of twin offspring from an interspecies cross in marmosets (Callitrichinae, Platyrrhini), resulting from a pairing between a female Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, 2n = 46) and a male Pygmy...

Pre-school children expect falling objects to travel in a straight line even when there are clear physical mechanisms that deviate the object’s path (Hood, 1995). The current study set out to determine whether this expectancy is limited to humans. Cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus oedipus ), a New World monkey species, were tested on Hood’s (1995) experimental task where objects are dropped...

This essay explores the specific differences between philosophies of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, while nonetheless arguing for their shared vision radical education. With a focus on Freire’s earlier period work, especially seminal Pedagogy Oppressed, we point to differing reception respective works in Europe 1970s (where Illich is often seen as an incompatible extreme case). retrospect seems ...

s | 59 Results showed no significant main effect of drug condition on empathic responses. However, a significant interaction effect between drug condition and primary psychopathy was found for personal distress and a marginally significant interaction effect was found for empathic concern. Simple effects analyses showed significant negative correlations between primary psychopathy and personal ...
