...form a more successful hybrid species.Scientists had previously believed that humans and chimpanzees split into separate species 7 million years ago. But “on the X chromosome, we’re more closely related to chimpanzees by 1.5 million years,” says David E. Reich, an HMS assistant professor of genetics.Reich says the data suggests that rather than following the traditional view of speciation, in which populations split and are isolated for long periods of time, the human-chimp split involved a “long, drawn-out period of genetic exchange between populations...
Unionization is expected to lead to collective bargaining. Will the foster parents strike? Probably not--less than 3% of labor talks end in strikes. Plus, says Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary who is a public-policy professor at Berkeley, "when they agreed to take on foster kids, they took on a moral obligation to parent them well...
...course an unanswerable question, but one that Benedict used to implore Catholics and non-Catholics alike to pray - and work - so that it never happens again. He unpacked the singular aims of Hitler?s Final Solution, and discovered universal religious and Christian theological lessons: ?The rulers of the Third Reich wanted to crush the entire Jewish people, to cancel it from the register of the peoples of the earth,? he said. ?Deep down, those vicious criminals, by wiping out this people, wanted to kill the God who laid down principles to serve as a guide for mankind, principles that...
...week. The study also found that the divergence between humans and chimps occurred nearly a million years later than previously estimated. “The thing that we’ve shown very solidly is there was a complex speciation between humans and chimpanzees,” said David Reich, an assistant professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and the senior author of the Nature paper. A comparison of the DNA sequences of humans and chimps revealed that the complete divergence of the two species took over four million years, Reich said. The evidence indicated that the decisive split...
...rapid risers were Germany, Japan and the U.S. itself. Though oceans apart, they embarked on similar careers. The first step was national unification. In Japan, the Meiji Restoration consolidated fragmented, feudal power into a technocratic and imperial state. In Germany, Bismarck fused 25 kingdoms and duchies into the Second Reich. In the U.S., the Civil War ended with the Union restored. Step two was rampant economic growth, with all three overtaking the established powers in the production of iron, steel and energy?those industries that would soon yield guns, bombs and ships. Step three: expansion and war. The Japanese took...
