...from the saliva of male traders need not be inconsistent with his own findings. "In the highly competitive arena of trading, high profits lead to social recognition, fueling risky behavior," he explains, while in his experiment, cooperative behavior led to social recognition. What's more, it's impossible to know whether traders engaged in risky behavior because of high levels of testosterone, or whether their testosterone levels became elevated because of their risk-taking. "I think the bottom line is that the picture surrounding testosterone is very complex," Naef says, "but we certainly have to move past the myth that...
...recently finished the nearly five-month HTS training program and has a master's in anthropology, says oversight is lacking. Once on the battlefield, "there's definitely an intense pressure on the brigade staff to encourage anthropologists to give up the subject," Wintersteen says. "There's no way to know when people are violating ethical guidelines on the field." (See pictures of the battle against the Taliban...
...report, in fact, work closely with the military. But McFate's larger point stands: for the past few decades, anthropologists have had little influence in military or foreign policy circles.

Until a few years ago, the Hurricanes had an all too often deserved reputation for thugball - a brash, smash-mouth style that mirrored the Miami Vice era both on and off the field. Some recruits...
...need to know that to enjoy his food. Any climate negotiator sitting down to Redzepi's beef tartare, for example, will get a pristine rectangle of magenta-colored meat, swathed with horseradish and neatly topped with rows of sorrel leaves. The beef is pastured and locally raised, and the taste induces superlatives - cold, rich meat, spicy horseradish, lemony greens. But more than anything, it's the visuals that stun. So simple and so delicious, Noma's tartare looks for all the world like a square of clover. It looks, in other words, like the perfect Scandinavian field for feeding healthy...
