...scientists have been working for decades to avoid having to answer. In the last 50 years, only a few primates have been lost to extinction, but some worry the worst is yet to come. "The great fear is that we've been holding back the tide," says Dr. Richard Wrangham, president of the International Primatological Society, one of the report's sponsors. Wrangham says that within the next 20 years, several of the species on the list could be gone...
...hanging out. And in many primate conservation hot spots around the world - mostly developing countries with limited resources - the health and safety of humans naturally take priority over the welfare of our closest relatives. "Primatologists realize it's a luxury to afford to think about these species," says Wrangham. "But we don't have time to say, 'Let's leave the thing and hope for the best.' Some of these species are going to go extinct very quickly...
Science B-29, “Evolution of Human Evolution,” boasts two professors–Richard Wrangham and Marc Hauser–but their combined forces aren’t enough to make this course any fun. Hauser is the better of the two, but the TFs are largely terrible, and don’t like answering tough questions beyond the all-purpose “It won’t be on the final.” That’s fine for English concentrators doing their time in hard science, but if you?...

Something you will have a lot of at Harvard, with very attractive people. For real, I swear. 3. Not a determinant of scientific intelligence. 4. Intercourse (only at Harvard is this...
...planning seems to correspond to more shared time in the lecture hall.Harvard College Professor and Professor of Psychology Marc D. Hauser, who team-taught Science B-29, “Evolution of Human Nature,” attended all lectures taught by Moore Professor of Biological Anthropology Richard W. Wrangham.“Over time it got more fine-tuned and the lectures overlapped nicely,” Hauser says. The non-lecturing Life Sciences 1a faculty dispersed throughout the lecture hall while their colleague was speaking. Hartl not only attended 1b lectures but followed 1a lectures...
