It continues today, which is why we have “Quest: The Essence of Humanity,” an excellent new book in which biochemist Charles Pasternak plays Plato. He begins by recounting the four traits most anthropologists point to as distinctly “human”: bipedalism, agile hands, sophisticated vocal cords and big brains. But they aren’t enough alone; each has a proverbial plucked chicken of its own among the animal kingdom. The crucial difference, Pasternak argues, is how we’ve used those gifts in the service of our curiosity–and how they’ve helped us conquer the globe....

The difficulties which come with representing an associate nation may have prompted him to take this decision.

Sindhu once again faltered against World No. 1 Tai Tzu Ying, this time going down to the top seed in Hong Kong, a championship she has chased since last year.

Earlier, she had settled for the runners-up place against Japanese Nozomi Okuhara in the World Championship final.

It was Hayek who mainly inspired the twin free-market revolution in Great Britain, where Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan’s ideological soulmate, launched a historic campaign to privatize nationalized industry at about the time the Reagan Revolution was taking off. But Hayek’s main impact was as a political theorist who delivered a powerful critique of the fallacies of socialist central planning....

In some cases, the exact cause of facial hair in women is never known, although it often runs in families. Symptoms of Hirsutism Most women have fine, light-colored, and barely noticeable thin hairs (called vellus hairs) that grow above the lips, on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. This is usually referred to as “peach fuzz” and is normally developed in childhood. When women have coarse, visible, dark hairs growing in the place of the vellus hairs in these areas, the condition is called hirsutism....

But for Sixers coach Brett Brown, that’s just not the focus. “I understand how some people may question it,” Brown said this week. “We have gone about trying to assess having our best chance to be annually competitive and annually special and we’ve chosen a path.
