  Language and Writing in Ancient...

  Along with Egypt, the cultural and geographic region known as Mesopotamia was home to some of the world’s earliest civilizations and also the first known form of writing, cuneiform. Many different ethnic groups vied for power in ancient Mesopotamia over the course of antiquity, spanning about 3,000 years, and many of them spoke different languages. Despite these differences, the people in Mesopotamia shared many cultural attributes, including similar religious practices, a common art and architecture style, and a shared use of the cuneiform script.  
  	As this suggests, language and writing were different but also interconnected. The languages spoken by the peoples of Mesopotamia were as diverse as the many ethnic groups, but as those groups asserted their military, economic, and cultural power over the other groups, two languages became dominant in the region: Sumerian and Akkadian. These were the two languages that were primarily used by the people of Mesopotamia to record their myths, religious rituals, government records, and historiographical accounts.  
  	Indeed, the languages and written scripts of Mesopotamia were not just enduring over time in the region, but they also had wide geographic influence, much more than any language groups or scripts at the time. The Sumerian language continued to be learned by scribes throughout Mesopotamia centuries after it had become a “dead language,” and the Akkadian language eventually became the lingua franca of the Near East by the Late Bronze Age. Akkadian became the language of diplomacy and trade, while cuneiform was used to record agreements in Akkadian between the "Great Powers” of the era. Cuneiform was also adopted by people outside of Mesopotamia, such as the Hittites and Elamites, who modified the script to fit the lexicons and rules of grammar for their own languages.

  Mouse Utopia Experiment The: The...

  Editors Charles River

  In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison. 
  	Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.  
  	The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia. 
  	While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.
