This paper provides further support for the role of insular environment in hominoid (including human) evolution; one such scenario being OOTI (Out of the...

Note, a predilection for solving abstract problems (exerting indirect influence, as in this experiment,) is consistent with OOTI. If the ancestors of...

The fallacy in the assumption that Australopiths had Laron's syndrome is that theirs was a normal expression. Laron's is a deficiency expression in a...
