  How did our brains change over the course of evolution, and what did it mean for our ancestors? Why do we behave the way we do today? Evolutionary psychology is the only framework that allows us to fully understand the nuances of humans' motivations, emotions, cognitions, and behaviors. Our bodies have evolved over time, and so too have our brains. How we respond to situations emotionally, our thoughts, our motivations, and our behaviors have a deep heritage based on the successes of our ancestors in meeting their survival or reproductive needs.In this Very Short Introduction, Maryanne L. Fisher and T. Joel Wade unfold the intriguing idea that our brain, like every other body part, has been shaped over time by natural and sexual selection. Fisher and Wade consider the contexts in which our ancestors thrived and explore how people today think and act using an evolutionary compass. This research-oriented exploration addresses diverse topics, organized into chapters on the principles underlying this approach, survival issues, group alliances, aggression, family dynamics, and mating strategies. It touches on a broad array of topics like fears, disgust, attraction, sibling conflict, friendship, and homicide.

  Nerva-Antonine Dynasty The: The...

  “The Five Good Emperors,” a reference to the five emperors who ruled the Roman Empire between 96 and 180 CE (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius), was a term first coined by Machiavelli and later adopted and popularized by historian Edward Gibbon, who said that under these men, the Roman Empire “was governed by absolute power under the guidance of wisdom and virtue.”  
  	This period of 84 years is generally regarded as the high point of the Roman Empire, at least after Augustus, but what is uncertain and a matter of ongoing debate is whether the five emperors were personally responsible for the situation and the accompanying prosperity enjoyed throughout the empire at the time or if they were simply the beneficiaries of the Pax Romana, inaugurated by Augustus in the early part of the 1st century CE. In other words, historians have wondered whether anyone in power during those years would have enjoyed the same rewards.  
  	The description of these rulers as “good” is also a matter of interpretation, with some scholars suggesting they were only “good” in comparison to the preceding emperor (Domitian) and the emperor who followed Marcus Aurelius (Commodus). Both of them were horrible rulers in every aspect, making their near contemporaries look all the better.  
  	Regardless, it is clear that the era of the Five Good Emperors was one of unparalleled success and wealth, and the reasons Rome reached its zenith at this time are worthy of scrutiny. Perhaps most noteworthy is that none of these five emperors were blood relatives - while the final two are often referred to as the Antonines, they were not, in fact, related except by adoption, a practice that may in itself provide at least part of the answer to the question as to why this particular period was so magnificent.

  Davy Jones' Metropolis -...

  The tale of Davy Jones' Metropolis is one that stretches the boundaries between myth and reality, a city submerged beneath the depths of the ocean, where the lost and forgotten roam amidst the remnants of once-proud pirates and forgotten empires. Far beyond the reach of sailors and explorers, this enigmatic metropolis remains hidden, its existence debated by those who dare to venture into the unknown realms of the sea. 
  The legend of Davy Jones, the fearsome pirate captain cursed to rule over the souls of the damned, has long been etched into maritime folklore. Yet, his connection to the Metropolis is often misunderstood. The city itself is not simply a domain of darkness or death, but rather a lost sanctuary that once served as a haven for corsairs, privateers, and seafaring marauders. It is said to be a place where time stands still, where the remnants of a golden age of piracy are preserved beneath the waves, untouched by the ravages of time. This metropolis, often referred to as the “Haven of Lost Corsairs,” was not only a refuge for pirates, but also a thriving hub of commerce, culture, and mysticism, protected by the vast and treacherous ocean that envelops it. 
  The origins of Davy Jones' Metropolis are shrouded in mystery. Some believe it was constructed by an ancient order of pirates who sought to escape the control of empires, building a city that existed outside of the world's laws. Others claim that the Metropolis was created by Davy Jones himself as a sanctuary for those cursed by the sea, a place where the spirits of lost sailors could dwell in eternal unrest. Regardless of its true origin, the city’s allure lies in its captivating history, its forgotten treasures, and the dangers that still lie hidden in its depths.
