Local Coverage...on two popular science Estonian magazines: Eesti Lodus (Estonian Nature) and Tarkade Klubi (Wise Club). The first one, the February issue, is an interview of me. The second, the March issue, is a popular version of the evolutionary medicine article. Both are in Estonian. It seems that after 2 years, unexplainably suddenly and simultaneously, people realized I am here. I do not understand.
Evolutionary Medicine.- A short paper on evolutionary medicine. It started as a reply to a critique, a critique that was obviously based on a misunderstanding of the differences between ultimate and proximate hypotheses, but I took the high road (mostly) and opted to try to illuminate instead.
Thoughts from my course.- The best graph ever, and the PowerPoint version. And in contrast, a really good use of modern technology to display data.
Sexually Selected Emotions.- I have had this idea for a while; BBS proved a good venue to put it out there. You might also like the other commentaries, and try to read the target article.
Multiple signals in mate choice.- A paper suggesting that, like many other morphological and behavioural adaptations, sexual signals might initially evolve to actually interfere with the process of female mate choice. The paper is featured in a UN site?! (link).
