The only commerical activity on this web site are viewers purchasing all types of merchadise from Amazon.com which helps to defray costs. The entire site is free of charge.

4000 Years of Women in Science Here's the skinny: only chimpanzees and humans form alliances to wage violence against their fellow species. Only the males of both species engage in violent organized violence. Learn about women, support them, and elevate their policy making roles if you want justice and peace on planet Earth.

Visions of Perfection This online short "book" is an excellent introduction into the Eugenics movement. We must never, never, never, never forget the negative implications of a biological perspective to human behavior. Always keep in mind that the so-called "desire to improve human behavior" is nothing more than "dominates" discriminating against "subordinates" and how to keep them "down" below them in the human hierarchies in which the "controlling" class finds suitable to their advantage. This form of discrimination is bioloical in origin, but thoughout history, it could have evolved from religious, village, tribal, ethnic,or gender origins. Also remember, the Eugenics movement is the cesspool from which Hitler found his strength.
Emotional Competency I was almost giddy with delight when I discovered this web site. It is really, really good in its basic knowledge concerning our human need for social contact. It covers all the bases. But, because of the physical construction of the web site, it may prove a bit confusing. I suggest take an entire summer or season to learn the material and dive back into basic evolutionary perspectives again.
The DNA Ancestry Project We can all trace our roots back to Adam & Eve, or somebody, but this project is attempting to let you find out -- biologically -- where you came from. It costs money to find out ---- hmmmm....here's a good "make work" project for governments...to prove scientifically that we are all one of the same species and tribe, clan, etc.
CISCO/THE HUMAN NETWORK OK, they are a corporate giant, but the higher the corporation, the bigger the trickle down. The concept is nice, but talk is cheap. Let's see if they really are serious about "bringing us all together."
