Why the young kill

Article Abstract:

Biological theories of violence emerging from interdisciplinary research in neuroscience and psychology are based on the discovery that experience rewires the brain. During zero to 3 years the young brain not only has a huge potential for learning, but is extremely vulnerable to hurt. Physical and chemical changes can occur in the brain when a child suffers from repeated abuse, neglect or terror and are manifest in lethal violence typically during the ages of 10-14 when the concept of death is still magical.

Ruffling some old feathers

Article Abstract:

Paleobiologists John Ruben and Terry Jones have suggested that the Russian fossil of a Longisquama could be an ancestor of birds. An analysis of the appendages sticking out on each side led them to believe that they could be feathers. However this has been fiercly disputed by other paleontologists who adhere to the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds.
