In addition to Balmert’s excellent ball-striking ability and reliable short game, captain Jacqueline Rooney lauds her mental toughness and determination. “When she won Ivies, there was something wrong with her feet,” Rooney says. “She basically couldn’t walk...
...mutation occurs in all of the modern human populations the researchers tested--but not in seven species of nonhuman primates, including chimps--the researchers suggest that lack of MYH16 made it possible for our ancestors to evolve smaller jaw muscles some 2 million years ago. That loss in muscle strength, they say, allowed the braincase and brain to grow larger. It's a controversial claim, one disputed by anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.
