The Future of Man-How Will Evolution Change Humans?
- www.scientificamerican.com

"The fossil record of skull sizes over the past several thousand generations shows that our days of rapid increase in brain size are long over. Accordingly, most scientists a few years ago would have taken the view that human physical evolution has ceased. But DNA techniques, which probe genomes both present and past, have unleashed a revolution in studying evolution; they tell a different story."

My Thumb Will Go On

More from Titanic with apologies to Celine Dion and My Heart Will Go On.

Video: Thumbtanic: My Heart is a Thumb.




The thumb contrasts with each of the other four by being the only digit that:

    Is opposable to the other four fingers
    Has two phalanges rather than three
    Has greater breadth in the distal phalanx than in the proximal phalanx
    Is attached to such a mobile metacarpus (which produces most of the opposability)

Sweet Urine

The Importance Of Observation In Medicine:

It is recounted that at King's College in the Strand around the time of the war, the Chief of Services would inevitably begin the year's rounds by teaching "a singularly important principle of medicine."

He asked a nurse to fetch him a sample of Urine. He then talked at length about Diabetes mellitus. "Diabetes," he said, "is a greek name; but the Romans noticed that the bees like the urine of diabetics, so they added the word mellitus which means sweet as honey. Well, as you know, you may find sugar in the urine of a diabetic ... "

By now the nurse had returned with a sample of urine which the registrar promptly held up like a trophy. We stared at that straw colored fluid as if we had never seen such a thing before. The registrar then startled us. He dipped a finger boldly into the urine, then licked his finger with the tip of his tongue. As if tasting wine, he opened and closed his lips rapidly. Could he perhaps detect a faint taste of sugar?

The sample was passed on to us for an opinion. We all dipped a finger into the fluid, all of us foolishly licked that finger. "Now," said the Registrar grinning, "You have learned the first principle of diagnosis. I mean the power of observation."

We were baffled. We stood near the sluice room outside the ward, and in the distance, some anonymous patient was explosively coughing. "You see," the registrar said continuing triumphantly, "I dipped my MIDDLE finger into the urine, but licked my INDEX finger -- not like all you chaps.
