How many times have we heard this phrase or others like it?. The advantages of working together as a team are perfectly demonstrated. Almost no one denies the fact that two (or more) heads are better than one. But teamwork has its dark spots, because within the group usually there is diversity of characters that can disturb the harmony that should reign within the team. If these differences are...

It’s been argued that fitness cannot always be defined as expected number of offspring; different, more complex functions are required for different contexts. Brandon (1990) argues that fitness therefore merely satisfies a common schema. Other authors (Ariew and Lewontin, 2004; Krimbas, 2004) argue that no unified mathematical characterization of fitness is possible. I focus on comparative fitn...

In metastatic melanoma patients, circulating natural killer (NK) cells display phenotypic and functional alterations that appear to correlate with the duration of stage IV disease. Moreover, specific NK cell subsets that exhibit robust tumoricidal functions upon activation by cytokines infiltrate the diseased lymph nodes of these patients. These data suggest that NK cells may be harnessed for t...

The current backlash against multiculturalism rests on both its perceived negative effects for immigrants’ socioeconomic integration and its failure to encourage civic and political cohesion. I offer a brief review of multiculturalism as ...

He was also a social and political philosopher of considerable stature, a self-professed ‘critical-rationalist’, a dedicated opponent of all forms of scepticism, conventionalism, and relativism in science and in human affairs generally, a committed advocate and staunch defender of the ‘Open Soc...

We propose that conversational flow influences more than just the quality of interpersonal relations: it signals entitativity - social unity at the group level. We predicted that when conversations are intermitted by brief silences after a target has spoken, this is percei...
