Viruses hijack a long non-coding RNA Figure 1 | An evolutionarily conserved pathway modulating lifespan. Longer life through an odd Pol enzyme It does this by using links between the cognitive control systems, found in the highly evolved prefrontal cortex, and the reward circuitry, made up of evolutionarily older sub-cortical structures, which controls motivation and “wanting”.

Why I'm Not Proud of Being Gay 2011-06-07T02:15:05.570Z These results suggest that reasoning on evolutionarily familiar content shows reliable and consistent individual differences, and accuracy is associated with general intelligence. Is General Intelligence Compatible with Evolutionary Psychology? 2012-06-27T16:45:05.180Z But the critical point here is this: the phenomenon of very light and very dark people coexisting in a single geographic space is an evolutionarily novel development for our species.

Is General Intelligence Compatible with Evolutionary Psychology? 2012-06-27T16:45:05.180Z In other words, yes, culture plays an obvious and important role in defining idealized beauty for people in a given society, but there are also obvious, evolutionarily defined limits to its powers of suggestion. Getting a Little Racy: On Black Beauty, Evolution, and the Science of Interracial Sex 2011-05-31T12:45:02.517Z A model for human genetic individuality is emerging in which there actually is a “wild-type” human genome—one in which most genes exist in an evolutionarily optimized form.
