  • Not a Chimp

    The hunt to find the genes that make us human

    by Jeremy Taylor ...
    Humans are primates, and our closest relatives are the other African apes - chimpanzees closest of all. With the mapping of the human genome, and that of the chimp, a direct comparison of the differences between the two, letter by letter along the billions of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts of the DNA code, has led to the widely vaunted claim that we differ from chimps by a mere 1.6% of our genetic code. A ... Read more

    Edited by J. Kien, C.R. McCrohan, W. Winlow ...

  • Beastly Questions

    Animal Answers to Archaeological Issues

    by Naomi Sykes ...
    Zooarchaeology, or the study of ancient animals, is a frequently side-lined subject in archaeology.

  • Lyme Disease

    The Ecology of a Complex System

    by Richard Ostfeld ...
    Most human diseases come from nature, from pathogens that live and breed in non-human animals and are "accidentally" transmitted to us. Human illness is only the culmination of a complex series of interactions among species in their natural habitats. To avoid exposure to these pathogens, we must understand which species are involved, what regulates their abundance, and how they interact. Lyme ... Read more
