paleoanthropology, genetics and evolution
I have a review of Marlene Zuk's new book, Paleofantasy , in this week's Nature : "Evolutionary biology: Twisting the tale of human evolution" [1] . I can't replicate my review here, but for people who have access to Nature I thought I'd bring attention to it. And if you don't have access, I wanted to share a couple of my reactions. It was a fun book for me to read. Zuk brings a light-hearted skepticism to a broad array of topics in human evolution. She took as her focus a collection of "paleo-advice" ideas: barefoot running, paleo diet, back-to-nature parenting advice.

Burying beetle
Burying beetles or sexton beetles (genus Nicrophorus) are the best-known members of the family Silphidae (carrion beetles). Most of these beetles are black with red markings on the elytra (forewings). Burying beetles are true to their name- they bury the carcasses of small vertebrates such as birds and rodents as a food source for their larvae. They are unusual among insects in that both the male and female parents take care of the brood. The American burying beetle (sp. Nicrophorus americanus) has been on the U.S. endangered species list since 1989.[1]

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of Windows NT family of operating systems.

The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.[5] Windows 8 was released to a mixed reception.
