ked to choose the most distinc tive feature of the human spe cies, many people would cite our massive brain. Others might men tion our ability to make and use so phisticated tools. A third feature also sets us apart: our upright mode of locomotion, which is found only in human beings and our immediate an cestors.

Lipids, 1992
AbstractThe genetically ordered physiology of contemporary humans was selected over eons of evolutionary experience for a nutritional pattern affording much less fat, particularly less saturated fat. Current dietary recommendations do not accord exactly with those generated by an understanding of prior hominoid/hominid evolution.

The Evolution of Human Uniqueness
The Spanish Journal of Psychology, 2016AbstractThe human species is an outlier in the natural world. Two million years ago our ancestors were a slightly odd apes. Now we occupy the largest ecological and geographical range of any species, have larger biomass, and process more energy. Usually, this transformation is explained in terms of cognitive ability—people are just smarter than all the

The Evolution of Altruism in Humans
Annual Review of Psychology, 2015Humans are an intensely social species, frequently performing costly behaviors that benefit others. Efforts to solve the evolutionary puzzle of altruism have a lengthy history, and recent years have seen many important advances across a range of disciplines.

Man’s skin is unique among land mammals in that it appears to be largely hairless. Whereas our skin bears millions of hairs, some so small as to be nearly invisible, hairs generally grow vigorously and prominently on men’s faces, and particularly on the scalp, axillae, mons, and anogenital areas of both sexes.

Comparative genomics of all known Laverania species that infect African great apes reveals interspecies gene transfer and convergent evolution, and identifies features of Plasmodium falciparum, the only human-infective species within this subgenus, that may have led to its speciation and spread globally.

The number of eastern Polynesian females required to found the Maori population of Aotearoa (New Zealand) has been recalculated. Our estimates use computer simulations that incorporate realistic sigmoid population growth models and include previously published and new mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 3' hypervariable region 1 sequences from Măori (N = 109 ...

The Evolution of Human Hearing
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1969Five descriptive parameters of hearing—high-frequency and low-frequency sensitivity, lowest threshold. best frequency, and area of the audible field—are compared statistically, first, among mammals in general, and then, among seven animals selected to approximate a phylogenetic sequence of man's ancestors.

My first experiment on reproductive behavior was published in 1937, and since that time most of my research has dealt with the neural, hormonal, and experiential control of sexual activity in various species of birds and mammals. In the course of nearly four decades I have authored, coauthored, or edited three books dealing with sexual behavior.

Human beings are distinguished from all other organisms by their symbolic way of processing information about the world. This unique cognitive style is qualitatively different from all the earlier hominid cognitive styles, and is not simply an improved version of them.
