The Lives of the Brain
“Theory of food” as a neurocognitive adaptation
Human adult cognition emerges over the course of development via the interaction of multiple critical neurocognitive networks. These networks evolved in response to various selection pressures, many of which were modified or intensified by the intellectual, technological, and sociocultural environments that arose in connection with the evolution of genus Homo . Networks related to language and theory of mind clearly play an important role in adul…

Schizophrenia in Palau
The Republic of Palau in the western Pacific has one of the highest rates of schizophrenia diagnoses in the world today. The expression of schizophrenia in Palau and greater Micronesia is also extraordinarily gendered, with rates of affliction approximately two times higher among males. This study uses contemporary clinical diagnostic and research tools to consider and reject the hypotheses that schizophrenia in Palau has a unique diagnostic prof…

The aging brain
Compared to other primates, humans live a long time and have large brains. Recent theories of the evolution of human life history stages (grandmother hypothesis, intergenerational transfer of information) lend credence to the notion that selection for increased life span and menopause has occurred in hominid evolution, despite the reduction in the force of natural selection operating on older, especially post-reproductive, individuals. Theories t…
Edward Short and the 1714 Newcomen Engine at Bilston, Staffs
Setting aside the possibility that Newcomen’s first attempt at building an engine, apparently unsuccessful, was in Cornwall at Balcoath, near Porkellis or at Wheal Vor, Breage, it has been accepted that the first successful engine was the so-called Dudley Castle engine built at Coneygree Coalworks, Tipton, Staffordshire in 1712. For many years the approximate site of this engine was not clear but papers have confirmed beyond reasonable doubt that…
Normal neuroanatomical variation in the human brain
Normative data on the in vivo size of the human brain and its major anatomically defined subdivisions are not readily available. In this study, high‐resolution magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure regional brain volumes in 46 normal, right‐handed adults (23 men, 23 women) between the ages of 22–49 years. Parcellation of the brain was based on neuroanatomical landmarks. The following brain regions were measured: the cerebral hemispheres,…
Name that rat
Generally, species identification of rodent remains from archaeological sites in the Pacific is made based on the overall size and robusticity of those bones most commonly recovered—mandibles and femora. Molecular identifications of Pacific rat remains suggest that the current method of morphological identification may not be appropriate for species identification. It appears that there is a high degree of size variation in Rattus exulans through…
Lactose digestion capacity in Tokelauans
Throughout the Pacific, lactose absorption occurs at rates of 0-46%. Most authors explain the current rate of lactose absorption in the Pacific in terms of gene flow with Europeans. However, researchers have not been able to determine the exact historical circumstances of the introduction of the lactose absorption gene. The availability of genealogical material, historical information, and mal/absorption frequencies for Tokelau (a Polynesian popu…
Lactose digestion capacity and perceived symptomatic response after dairy product consumption in Tokelau Island migrants
Lactose digestion capacity and perceived symptomatic response after dairy product consumption in Tokelau Island migrants
When lactose-malabsorbing individuals use dairy products decreased lactase activity and the subsequent reduction in hydrolysis of ingested lactose can result in gastrointestinal and gaseous symptoms (lactose intolerance). This article examines lactose malabsorption, perceived gastrointestinal symptoms, and dairy product consumption in a Tokelau Island migrant population in New Zealand. Questionnaire data were collected and lactose digestion capac…

A CO-ORDINATED effort is being made by the Executive Department and the Education Department of the New York State government and by the 87 degree-granting institutions to meet the great enrollment increase which faces the colleges this fall. It is agreed that the best and most effective adjustments can be made by increasing to the maximum the on-campus enrollments of the colleges. By adding temporary housing and eating facilities, classrooms, an…

An Introductory Course
C OLGATE UNIVERSITY is a liberal-arts college limited in enrollment to one thousand men. With this small enrollment it is the intention of the University administration to have all classes small enough to allow and to encourage student participation in the class exercise. To do this the classes in the freshman and sophomore courses are taught usually in sections of less than twenty students. The upper-class work is done in a few classes and many …

The New York Regents' Plan
T HE educational system of the State of New York is unique in many of its aspects. Some of the unique features give it strength and some may be responsible for its weaknesses. The Board of Regents representing the people of the state is entrusted with the authority to determine policies and to exercise supervision over all educational matters. The State Education Department is the administrative organization that carries out policies set forth by…
