...Verstrepen. “I was presenting this work here at Harvard and in the audience was an evolutionary biologist by the name of Kevin Foster,” Verstrepen said. “He started jumping around and crying out that this is a ‘green beard gene.’” The “green beard gene” was initially proposed by Oxford evolutionary biologist William D.

...Between 1832 and the Civil War, Uncle Sam was portrayed in everything from pajamas to eveningwear. He was young, old, fat and thin. At one point he was even a tantrum-throwing toddler.
