An audience with the stones

Article Abstract:

Developmental genetics and palaeontology are not as remote as they initially seem, according to Per Ahlberg, of the Natural History Museum in London, England. He believes that both disciplines address the emergence of form. He feels that the study of how modern animals progress from embryo to adult will give an insight into the biological mechanisms on which the evolutionary change in these animals' ancestors was based. He hopes to be able to establish an interdisciplinary evolution and development group at the Natural History Museum.

On the trail of hunters who took to the land

Article Abstract:

Archaeological research can be difficult and discovering exactly when hunter-gatherers learned to farm is especially hard. The Smithsonian Institution's Archaeobiology Program, Washington, D.C., makes use of research and help from biology and physics.
