...Loser and Beauty and the Geek) to cringe-inducing (Breaking Bonaduce and Scott Baio Is 45 ... and Single). It produced I Know My Kid's a Star, so it can handle high-maintenance mothers, and it's now casting for Camp Cougar, a show about older women chasing younger men, so clearly it's not afraid of controversy. But the American production house says it has nothing to do with the Suleman deal. (Read a brief history of multiple births...

Wrangham argues that the control of the flame gave rise to traditional gender roles, as cooked food became a valuable commodity. “The possibility of [food] theft prompted a primitive protection racket in which women are protected and men get the advantage of being fed,” he said. In previous research, Wrangham studied chimpanzees, even working with famous primatologist Jane Goodall in Tanzania. “They are a good model for human ancestors 6 to 7 million years ago,” he said of the early...
