A river runs through them

Article Abstract:

Anthropologist Edward Liebow and the volunteers of Earthwatch interviewed Skagit River Valley residents for getting their insights regarding the things that unite and divide the lives of people affected by the Skagit River, and reasons for the decrease in the population of salmons. The research showed that members within a constituent group were divided on the ways for improving the river's habitat but Edward Liebow hopes that his research will help the people in identifying their common goals.

The battling ape: Are conflict and warfare innate in human nature?

Article Abstract:

The responses give some measure of hope for the way archaeological evidence of the roots of war could help one contend with 21st-century conflicts.
