...second reason the discovery is so important is its age. Ida - her scientific name is Darwinius masillae - dates to about 47 million years ago, when temperatures were warmer than they are today and when mammals underwent a burst of evolutionary diversification. In particular, that's when primates began splitting off into two branches. One became anthropoids, whose descendants are monkeys, apes and humans. The other turned into prosimians - lemurs and their kin. (See pictures of a bonobo eden...
...Scenes like this stream through Levy's sweeping tribute to Newman, who passed away last September at the age of 83. The iconic actor was both a vintage superstar and an anticelebrity, a man who worked tirelessly to impress audiences even as he built his home in Connecticut, thousands of miles away from Beverly Hills.

"These kids get angry and frustrated, and it creates this sort of toxic shame within them," he says. "They also have gotten to the point where they...
...Vinoteca: Prime attraction at this minimalist venue within the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, www.buenosaires.park.hyatt.com, is a red-walled, walk-in cheese room - the first of its kind in Argentina, highlighting as yet relatively undiscovered Argentine artisanal cheeses based on European styles. The maître fromager encourages producers to age cheeses exclusively for the restaurant. Tasting plates served at a marble communal counter table include an earthy brie from Córdoba; Cordon, a goat's cheese from Mendoza aged 15 months; and Morbier, Manchego and Parmesan-inspired cheeses matched with fresh-fruit marmalades and outstanding Argentine malbecs and cabernet...
