Newsweek on Evolution, DNA and The Brain

Great March 19th issue of Newsweek Mag­a­zine, announc­ing the hir­ing of sci­ence writer Sharon Beg­ley, who leads the cov­er sto­ry on The Evo­lu­tion Revolution. You will find:

• The New Sci­ence of Human Evo­lu­tion: “The new sci­ence of the brain and DNA is rewrit­ing the his­to­ry of human origins”.
• Live Talk: Sharon Beg­ley on the new sci­ence of evolution
• Think Thin To Get Thin by Judith Beck (daugh­ter of Aaron Beck, the founder of cog­ni­tive ther­a­py, apply­ing CT tech­niques to weight loss).
• Com­pas­sion Fatigue Hits Vet Care­givers: “For thou­sands who treat vet­er­ans suf­fer­ing from post­trau­mat­ic stress dis­or­der (PTSD), ‘com­pas­sion fatigue’ is a very real problem“ 
• “The lit­er­ary land­scape that shaped the baby boomers”

Talk­ing about DNA, my wife and I just ordered our par­tic­i­pa­tion kit from Nation­al Geo­graph­ic: The Geno­graph­ic Project to learn more about our ori­gins. Looks like a very wor­thy project. She, from Russ­ian and Ger­man recent ances­tors; me, born in Spain’s Basque Coun­try. We will see what we find out!
