A bit of who's your father?

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that women worldwide may be at their most promiscuous when most fertile, indicating that females have a basic instinct to confuse paternity to ensure at least one male will help support the offspring. This behaviour may change in accordance with cultural beliefs, such as in some communities in South America where babies have multiple fathers who are given parental priority in accordance with the level of sexual activity they had with the mother around conception. Paternity tests will be increasingly used in the developed world to establish paternity, however, and women could subsequently become less promiscuous.

Working from first principles

Article Abstract:

Graduates with first-class degrees offer different explanations for their achievement, but determination, an appreciation of the importance of the written word, and the assumption that they would be free to chose the courses they wanted to do, are common factors. Mark McArdle, who gained a first class degree in management in 1997, favoured courses that were assessed, concentrated hard on assignments, and abandoned any topics he found difficult or dull. Chris Waind believes that his determination to succeed despite being dyslexic was a major factor in his gaining a first.
