From your seat on the train: Even in science, what you see depends on your point of view
Life is a simulation of life – or is it: What we observe is just one run of a probabilistic process
Why can we ask why: Our adaptability adaptation programs us not to be programmed
Filling the cup of alteration: Uniformitarianism then and now
On babies and bathwater
The clergyman's wife and the parrot
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Behavior affects evolution in many ways. Organisms are adapted for what they do, but they also do what they are adapted for
The frog in taffeta pants
What is the magic that makes dead flesh fly
Ponce de Leon and the telomere of youth
The explorer went to the ends of the earth looking for immortality. Did he only have to go to the ends of his chromosomes
Come to me, my melancholic baby
Some famous textbook cases of evolution aren't unambiguously true. Does it matter
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow
Science often relies on simplified diagrams to convey information, but these can embed tacit assumptions. A good example is provided by the surface convolutions of the cerebral cortex. It is surprisingly difficult to know what these features mean, and which deserve evolutionary explanation
Dinner at Baby's: Werewolves, dinosaur jaws, hen's teeth, and horse toes
Occasionally traits arise that appear to be atavistic throwbacks to the remote past. How can this make evolutionary sense
Ludwik fleck and the art‐of‐fact
Biology's theoretical kudzu: The irrepressible illusion of teleology
Goings on in Mendel's garden
How the eye got its brain
Kulturcrisis! Cultural evolution going round in circles
Good vibrations: The silent symphony of life
Is the medium the message? Biological traits and their regulation
Much about the nature of biological processes is logically necessary but functionally arbitrary. What does this mean about biology
Serotonin Mediated Cluster Headache, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, and Superior Laryngeal Neuralgia with SAD Chronicity
We hold these truths to be self-evident
Space dragon: Long March, missile proliferation, and sanctions
This article focuses on the interrelationship between Sino‐U.S. cooperation in commercial space and Chinese missile proliferation activities—specifically to what extent did U.S. cooperation with China contribute to Chinese restraint on ballistic missile proliferation issues. Technological cooperation can be a useful tool in gaining a country's observance of missile nonproliferation norms. However, the U.S. should continue this cooperation only if…
Danger and opportunity: The United States, nonproliferation, and South Asia
To contain the fallout from the South Asia nuclear tests, the United States needs to address the issue both in terms of collective security and balance of power politics. The U.S. government needs to maintain its sanctions commitment because U.S. credibility depends on its willingness to impose penalties on proliferators even the penalties that harm U.S. interests. Stronger efforts must be made to engage Russia and China in developing a coordinat…
Throwing down the gauntlet: The Soviet challenge in the pacific
This paper considers growing Soviet efforts to undermine political, military, and economic connections between the United States and its friends and allies in the Pacific, and how naval forces could help counter Soviet policy. Basically, Gorbachev's speech at Vladivostok on 28 July 1986 represents an historic shift in Soviet attention from Western Europe and NATO towards the Asia‐Pacific region. Of course, Soviet policy in the region did not chan…
The war will not subside: The Pacific theater in a Nato‐Warsaw Pact war
This paper considers the role of the Pacific theater in a NATO‐Warsaw Pact war. It argues that the Pacific theater has been neglected in such a conflict because most war scenarios envision a struggle lasting no more than 30 to 60 days. As a result, the conflict is over too quickly in most scenarios of the interrelationships between the NATO and Pacific theaters to develop conceptually. However, in a long‐war scenario, the Pacific theater's import…
