All through the animal kingdom, sleep ranks right up there with food, water and sexual intercourse for the survival of the species. Everybody does it, from fruit flies to Homo sapiens. Yet despite its clear necessity and lots of investigation, scientists still don't know precisely what sleep...
...primitive tribe of tiny cave-dwelling humans on the Indonesian island of Flores [Nov. 8] reported that its elephants may have swum the distance that separated Flores from the nearest land when the sea level was at its lowest. Could they also perhaps have had a role in getting Homo floresiensis onto the island? As there is already evidence of elephant migration, who is to say that some early hominids didn't hitch a ride or two on the backs of those buoyant beasts? Alfred Winsor Brown V San Diego...

As recently as a decade ago, scientists talked about a direct, unbranching line of descent ... Now all that has changed ... While his Australopithecus cousins foraged or scavenged, Homo habilis began to make tools and to hunt. Both actions accelerated his evolution ... "There have been thousands of living organisms," [Leakey] says, "of which a very high percentage has become extinct. There is nothing, at the moment, to suggest that we are not part of that same pattern...
