denotes architecture that is purely utilitarian, devoid of decorative and ornamental elements which have been coded as feminine (Leslie & Raimer 2003: 298).

However, many favoured competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution.[5][6] In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.[7][8] Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of…

Interesting how the celebration moves to the Irish. The patriotic sentiment surfaces through the thousands of flags in the colors green, white and red, unfurled in the streets and facades of…

and New World primates may use stone anvils and hammers to process hard foods, such as nuts, but in general the upper limbs of non-human primates are anatomically unsuited to manufacture and use tools with sufficient precision [16]. Instead, in the early representatives of our lineage, the extensive anatomical remodeling of the hand made possible by the progressive acquisition of bipedalism, perfected the acquisition of the two fundamental human handgrips – the ‘power’ and ‘precision’…
