Tree of Life Web Project The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history (phylogeny). Each page contains information about a particular group, e.g., salamanders, segmented worms, phlox flowers, tyrannosaurs, euglenids, Heliconius butterflies, club fungi, or the vampire squid. ToL pages are linked one to another hierarchically, in the form of the evolutionary tree of life. Starting with the root of all Life on Earth and moving out along diverging branches to individual species, the structure of the ToL project thus illustrates the genetic connections between all living things.
Human Evolution: The fossil evidence in 3D Welcome to the UCSB online 3D gallery of modern primate relatives and fossil ancestors of humans. This gallery contains five modern primate crania, and five fossil crania. The crania can be rotated 360 degrees. Each cranium is accompanied by a short description of its relevance to human evolution, and a site map. You will need the Shockwave plugin from Macromedia to view this gallery (most browsers have this installed already). If necessary, you can obtain this plugin here. Click here to enter the gallery. Click here for information on the much largerCD-ROM version. Trouble viewing the gallery? The gallery was developed by Phillip Walker and Ed Hagen, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara. This site also hosts the Evolutionary Psychology FAQ
Tree of Life Netocracy Netocracy was a term invented by the editorial board of the American technology magazine Wired in the early 1990s. A portmanteau of Internet and aristocracy, netocracy refers to a perceived global upper-class that bases its power on a technological advantage and networking skills, in comparison to what is portrayed as a bourgeoisie of a gradually diminishing importance. The concept was later picked up by the Swedish philosophers Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist for their book Netocracy — The New Power Elite and Life After Capitalism (originally published in Swedish in 2000 as Nätokraterna - boken om det elektroniska klassamhället, published in English by Reuters/Pearsall UK in 2002). The netocracy concept has been compared with Richard Florida's concept of the creative class. Other usage[edit] The word netocracy is also used as a portmanteau of Internet and democracy, not of Internet and aristocracy: See also[edit] References[edit] Further reading[edit] External links[edit]

Chimps vs. Humans: How Are We Different? "Give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." That's the longest string of words that Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee who scientists raised as a human and taught sign language in the 1970s, ever signed. He was the subject of Project Nim, an experiment conducted by cognitive scientists at Columbia University to investigate whether chimps can learn language. After years of exposing Nim to all things human, the researchers concluded that although he did learn to express demands — the desire for an orange, for instance — and knew 125 words, he couldn't fully grasp language, at least as they defined it. Many cognitive scientists believe that humans' ability to innovate by varying syntax engenders much of the richness and complexity of our thoughts and ideas. Stance Humans are bipedal, and except for short bouts of uprightness, great apes walk on all fours. Thus, our ancestors stood up in the scrubby, dry areas of Africa.

Välkomna upp på scen | Svenska Hjältar Vinnare – livsgärning Carl-Axel Ekman, 86, Borås. Carl-Axel Ekman, pensionerad kirurgchef, kom till Garissa i Kenya första gången 1989. Han och hans i dag avlidna hustru Monica, blev gripna av situationen i Kenyas fattigaste provins och bestämde sig för att hjälpa. De började samla in pengar och har hittills byggt upp Kenyas första barnhem för flickor där könsstympning är förbjudet. –? Vinnare – eldsjäl Barbro Jönsson, 53, åklagare i Göteborg. Tidigt på morgonen den 20 november i fjol detonerar en sprängladdning utanför åklagare Barbro Jönssons villadörr i Trollhättan. Samtidigt som bomben exploderar jobbar hon med ett åtal mot fyra personer med anknytning till Brödraskapet Wolfpack för ett misstänkt mordförsök i Lilla Edet. Många skulle nog tvekat att fortsätta sitt jobb några dagar efter att ha fått sin ytterdörr sprängd. Men åklagare Barbro Jönsson ställde sig i Göteborgs tingsrätt några dagar senare. Vinnare – medborgare Tobias Andersson, 24, Oslo. ? Men 4-åriga Tariq är kvar inne i lägenheten.
sScienceMap On the Origin of Cooperative Species: New study reverses a decade of research claiming chimpanzee selfishness | The Primate Diaries A new study reverses a decade of research claiming chimpanzee selfishness. "Sharing is Caring" by Nathaniel Gold Charles Darwin had more in common with chimpanzees than even he realized. Before he was universally known for his theory of natural selection, the young naturalist was faced with one of the great moral choices in the history of science. The decision he made has long been hailed as the type of behavior that fundamentally separates humans from other apes. On the morning of June 18, 1858, a parcel arrived that threatened to undo the originality of Darwin’s masterwork. “Even his terms now stand as heads of my chapters,” Darwin wrote, almost in a panic. What should he do? “I would far rather burn my whole book than that he or any man should think that I had behaved in a paltry spirit,” he wrote to Charles Lyell, his friend and mentor. Figure 1. Figure 2. As Carl Sagan famously wrote, “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” Reference: Victoria Horner, J.
Journalisterna, hjältarna!? - Debatthuset Journalisterna, hjältarna!? Nästan varje vecka hör vi om journalister runt om i världen som förföljs eller t.o.m mördas. Själva sinnebilden av journalisterna är hjältar som till varje pris söker sanningarna. Fakta till skydd för människor och kunskaper för rättsäkerhetens utveckling. Vem minns inte Robert Redford och Dustin Hoffman som de grävande journalisterna i Watergate? Journalister som hjältar som är nära att offra sina liv för sanningar om giriga företag eller människors rättigheter. Sedan länge har Journalistkåren just på grund av detta starka moraliska ansvar också kallats för den 3'e statsmakten. Numer har mediabranschen blivit allt mer ekonomiskt driven. Är mediernas mål att presentera ALLA SANNINGARNA eller görs ett taktiskt urval?
