The Aboriginals' Female Hunter Society The Leakey Foundation - California Academy of Sciences Gender roles among foraging peoples are usually considered to be nearly universal: that men are hunters and women gatherers of plant foods, that men are more productive than women and that women cooperate mainly with spouses in a division of labor designed to care for dependent offspring; a pattern that is rooted in our evolutionary past. I describe an alternative perspective of women as hunters who cooperate extensively in acquiring small animals, sharing food and caring for children.

The Effect of Changing Medical Advice on Breastfeeding The Leakey Foundation - California Academy of Sciences All primates have drawn-out life histories with long pregnancies and extended suckling. Time devoted to individual offspring more than compensates for limited daily investment in reproduction. A key part of intensive maternal care in primates is frequent suckling on demand, reflected in milk composition. In all these respects, humans are typical primates; but we also have special features, notably in brain development. But how long should a mother suckle her baby? Biological comparisons yield clues to the natural breastfeeding period for which women are adapted.

Mutant Bugs and the Morality of Developmental Biology 08/30/11
Mutant Bugs and the Morality of Developmental Biology Innovation Lab - Aarhus City Hall Mark Bunger Research Director, Lux Research Life science, and all things bio, promise even greater revolutions for businesses, organizations, and countries than the digital age. Get the full bio-picture. Mark has the best and most informed overview of opportunities and perspectives in the rising field of "bio". Bio being for the next decade what IT was for the previous. He has launched and leads the bioscience unit with Lux Research, a leading research company on emerging technologies that is active in more than 20 countries, servicing some of the largest corporate structures in the world. Mark took the jump from the role of a leading expert on IT, as principal analyst with Forrester Research, to BIO, as he could see that future IT innovations simply didn't match the potential of bioscience, where we move from programming software to essentially programming DNA. A regular guest with CNN, Nature, Financial Times and Wall Street Journal, Mark is an expert at getting the message across. The NEXT 2011 Conference is a rare glimpse into the latest trends and innovations in food, green, design, health and digital. Cutting-edge and single track, the conference brings together a diverse group of speakers from a variety of industries and organizations, including AT&T, Time Inc., Google and Ferrari. This is a great chance to watch idea-driven leaders as they help shape the future of the world.
