A new southern limit for the distribution of African great apes: Sympatric western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and central chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) confirmed in Mayombe N…
The distribution of African great apes has remained unconfirmed regarding their southern limit, particularly on the western side of the continent. IUCN maps include the Mayombe forest of Angola as part of the estimated distribution of western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) and central chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes troglodytes ). However, until now no published evidence-based records had confirmed the continued presence of both speci…
As cores, cá fora e lá dentro
Notre perception des couleurs est à la fois magnifique et énigmatique. C’est pourquoi, en philosophie, elle a constitué un point important de discussion sur le réel. Les objets n’ont pas de couleur par eux-mêmes. Ils ne font que refléter la radiation électromagnétique, ce qui ne se traduit pas en couleurs. L’état de nos connaissances sur le fonctionnement des yeux révèle que la couleur est une construction intérieure, qui se passe dans le cerveau…
In the intimacy of thought: Darwin’s notebooks on the moral sense of man
With the recognition that we, like all living beings, belong to a species that has evolved through natural selection, comes the acknowledgement that evolutionary processes have shaped us profoundly.But how profoundly?Darwin acknowledged that of all the differences between man and the lower animals, the moral sense or conscience is by far the most important.Could this specific human faculty reflect our evolutionary heritage?Darwin's affirmative an…
Darwin’s sexual selection theory – a forgotten idea
jogos, para se tornar possível desenvolverem e testar hipóteses que confirmassem a teoria.Nesta perspectiva, a visão de Darwin adquire uma dimensão ainda mais extraordinária
“Cinderela”: Do conto de fadas à realidade. Perspectiva sobre os maus‐tratos infantis
A violência infantil é um fenómeno dramático que afecta, de formas diversas, todas as sociedades, tradicionais ou desenvolvidas. O fenómeno tem vertentes psicológicas, sociológicas e económicas conhecidas, embora permaneça difícil de caracterizar. Uma abordagem evolutiva oferece um novo quadro conceptual que permite explicar algumas características dos maus‐tratos infantis. Este estudo aplica a hipótese de que a presença de um pai adoptivo consti…
Peopling of the Azore Islands (Portugal): Data from the Y Chromosome
Nine Atlantic islands with approximately five and a half centuries of demographic history constitute the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. Despite the recent peopling history of these islands, written records regarding the specific origin and relative proportions of the first settlers are scarce and incomplete. To gain insights into the history of the peopling of the Azores and to evaluate to what extent population imports described in histor…
Why are human newborns so fat? Relationship between fatness and brain size at birth [retracted article]
The plumpness of the human newborn has long been recognized as a trait in need of explanation among researchers. Using a linear regression analysis, we find that head circumference is significantly and positively associated with BMI at birth, after gestational age and birthlength were controlled for, in a sample of 1,069 healthy liveborn routinely delivered at the University Hospital of Coimbra (partial correlation r = 0.409, P

Inbreeding as measured by dispensations and isonymy in Rio de Onor, Portugal
This study examines the coefficient of inbreeding in the population of Rio de Onor (Portugal), for a period of 120 years. Two distinct methods were used: the dispensations for consaguineous marriages and isonymy. The two methods produced different results and these differences are explained, for the period after 1960, in terms of emigration
