Perhaps it sounds almost quaint to say that somebody of good intellect cannot be a serious Christian, but we ...

Introduction Cells need oxygen for mitochondrial respiration and a wide range of other metabolic processes. It is increasingly being recognized that there are sophisticated mechanisms for monitoring local oxygenation and that these are used to modulate extensive aspects of cellular behaviour. This excellent meeting was held at 9,600 feet where oxygen is 70% of that at sea level; enough to cause...

New developments in genetics, anthropology, and neurobiology predict that a very large number of genes underlie our intellectual and emotional abilities, making these abilities genetically surprisingly fragile.

Analysis of human mutation rates and the number of genes required for human intellectual and emotional fitness indicates that we are almost certainly losing these abilities. If so, how did we get them in the first place, and when did things begin to change?
