- Tracing Disease Back to the Dinos
  Posted by Billbar from Seed Magazine
  "The common thread," said Beard, "is evolution. We recognized that basic principles of evolution that scientists, like myself, study all the time are actually very important for physicians to understand, if only in order to be able to explain to their patients some of the reasons behind the predicaments that they face." "There are plenty of medical conditions today that afflict humans that come directly out of our evolution from our ape-like ancestors," he said.

- Many human genes evolved recently
  Posted by Billbar from Codylyonblogolater.blogspot
  Human genes involved in metabolism, skin pigmentation, brain function and reproduction have evolved in response to recent environmental changes, over the last 15,000 years or so, when modern humans dealt with the end of the last ice age, the beginning of agriculture, and increased population densities.

- In Support of Natural Selection
  Posted by Billbar from Seed Magazine
  The debate has finally tipped. A wide-ranging study provides evidence for an environmental basis for the origin of species, rather than a random series of genetic mutations, essentially proving the theory of natural selection.
