<description><![CDATA[Biological anthropologists have long thought that the human pelvis was remodeled from an ape-like form in two stages: an initial reshaping for bipedality in the genus Australopithecus around 5 million years ago, and a second reshaping in early Homo three million years later that permitted the delivery of bigger-brained babies. Surprising new discoveries about fossil hominids and living apes have raised doubts about this whole picture. Experts on the evolution of human anatomy and behavior discussed and debated the meaning of these discoveries.

Surprising new discoveries about fossil hominids and living apes have raised doubts about this whole picture.

This dialogue paired two experts on the evolution of human anatomy and behavior, Dr. Steve Churchill and Dr. Karen Rosenberg, who discussed and debated the meaning of these discoveries.

<description><![CDATA[As the face of Boston University's campus evolves, student artists have become part of the natural selection. Charles Darwin would have been proud.

Last spring Adrienne, a psychology and philosophy major, participated in an art competition sponsored by the Greater Boston Darwin Bicentennial committee, sponsored by the BU provosts office in conjunction with other universities to encourage and coordinate Darwin-related events. Her work, Genes to Memes, won an award and then was chosen to become part of the BU landscape.]]></description>

<title>What Can the Dung Beetle Teach Us About Nutrition?</title>

<description><![CDATA[Scientists know it as Onthophagus—a type of horned scarab beetle found in just about every part of the world. But you probably know it for what it eats: poop. Whatever else dung beetles are good for—they are super strong, unparalleled navigators, and important plant seed spreaders—they just can’t shake the rep they get for their dietary choices.

In her Boston University lab, biologist Sofía Casasa has trays full of Onthophagus and fridges stocked with their favorite food—cow dung collected from a farm in Lincoln, Mass. An expert in evolutionary developmental biology, she’s studying the insects for clues to how organisms develop and grow. Casasa’s goal is to understand how much of an organism’s appearance—its size, shape, and structure, or morphology—is dictated by its genes, and how much by its environment, particularly what it eats.

With the dung beetles, she’s starting with one question: why do some beetles grow longer horns than others?]]></description>

<title>Bricks of Life: How LEGO Inspires a Sea Urchin Researcher</title>

<description><![CDATA[Cynthia Bradham, a Boston University associate professor of biology, studies the larvae of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus . As adults, the sea urchins look like spiny, globular pin cushions, but at 48 hours old, theyâ€™re visually arresting: ethereally transparent and shaped a bit like a badminton shuttlecock, they shimmer in a rainbow of colors. Bradham is on a mission to figure out the plans nature uses to create these microscopic jewels and apply that knowledge to improving our understanding of a wide range of issues related to human development, including cancer, birth defects, regenerative medicine, and the growth of new organs. Bradham has three basement rooms dedicated to her hobby. â€œIâ€™m a Lego black hole," she says. "Lego can come in, but it cannot leave.â€ The way she describes her love of Lego echoes the way she talks about her research. Just as with Lego, sheâ€™s fascinated by the design of the sea urchin, how its constituent parts come together to form the whole: â€œI see a lot of commonality between designing structures you would build with Lego and biological structures."]]></description>
