That all made sense until field scientists, including White, began finding early hominids who lived in partly wooded places, not pure savanna. As deduced from the sorts of animals Brunet found at Toros-Menalla, that seems to be the kind of environment Sahelanthropus inhabited as well. With the simple climate theory already on the way out, paleontologists have come up with other ideas. They now believe that woods survived in the changed climate but were probably interspersed with patches of savanna--precisely the setting in which Brunet found Toumai...
...your neighbor doing well, above his caste and position, and someone tells you to get a child and do a secret ritual and you can catch up." Adds mysticism expert Ipsita Roy Chakaraverti: "It's got nothing to do with real mysticism or with spiritualism. It comes down to pure and simple greed." Tarapith in particular is a giant building site of new hotels, restaurants and stalls selling plastic swords and postcards of Kali's severed feet. Judging by the visitors here, Kali appeals to both rich and poor: the rows of SUVs parked outside four-star hotels belong...
...nearly 22.5 million. Each visit might represent a deposit, an electronic payment or just a peek at an account balance. In Continental Europe, online banking is dominated by traditional banks. But in the U.K., even though "High Street" banks have more online customers overall, four pure-play Net banks - Egg, Smile, Intelligent Finance and Cahoot - have made impressive inroads.

And together, the pure plays have nearly 30% of the U.K.'s total number of unique...
...academics go, psychiatrists are a lot like economists: their field is presented to the public as pure science, but there's a lot of shouting in the back office. Are drugs overused? Can treatment really work if it's involuntary? Is something like "delusional disorder" a brain disease or a behavioral problem or both? These debates are far from settled. Sometime in the past decade, it became a requirement of polite conversation to say that schizophrenia and other mental illnesses are "no different" from pneumonia. But the latest neurological research has offered only the roughest idea of the precise mechanism...
...elfin wit) that marked many Hart lyrics: "I do not know what haunts me,/ What saddened my mind all day;/ An age-old tale confounds me,/ A spell I cannot allay." And a quatrain Heine wrote for his wife Therese - "You're lovely as a flower,/ So pure and fair to see;/ I look at you, and sadness/ Comes stealing over me" - is echoed in Hart's pathetic, lifelong obsession with women. His need for them was exceeded only by his belief that they were put on earth to beguile and reject him. (Was Hart homosexual? Yes. A homosexual...
