Body-size and time have a unique relationship. Cope’s Rule explains this relationship by stating as time progress so does body-size. As an organism’s lineage ages, the general body-size becomes larger. This increase can have many benefits, but also drawbacks. Things like intelligence, development time, and fecundity are affected by body size. A study just released by Nature though might show that this rule does not always apply. A new effect is being observed that shows body-sizes may actually…

cultural influence on these states. With this foundation three empires rose up sequentially in West Africa – the empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. From this same base came the downfall of each empire, sped along by external forces. During the holocene period many groups in West Africa began to master the tools of state formation. Populations rose and cities grew up as better food production and iron making techniques were developed. Iron tools permuted larger food surpluses which in turn…

Urban Nest: Gift For Gab—Getting to Know Portland’s Storytelling Scene There is something amazing about a live storytelling show. The intimacy between the storyteller and the audience can be almost palpable at times. Whether it’s the nature of the story being told, the artistry of the teller, or just something about hearing a true story told live from a firsthand witness is practically irrelevant. What matters, for the devoted audience members attending contemporary storytelling shows, is that…

up succeeding more often than not. Our wish to leave a legacy has managed to shift mountains, flatten hills, and has been known to block out the sun on occasion. Our impact is comparable to the massive roaming glaciers of the post ice age epoch, Holocene. We may have yet to create a mountain range the size of the Appellations, though I’m sure more than a few people have thought about it, but our wanton shaping of earth has been no less effective thus far. Which is surprising, considering that…
