  • A Précis of Evolution in Four Dimensions, a book that proposes a new model of evolution
  • Humans evolved rapidly in the last 40 000 years
  • The cellular basis of decision-making in the archefish
  • Rabbits value social contacts similarly to food
  • Encouraging a belief in determinism increases cheating.
