  Why is Sex Fun? - The Evolution...

  To us humans the sex lives of many animals seem weird. In fact, by comparison with all the other animals, we are the ones with the weird sex lives. How did that come to be?Just count our bizarre ways. We are the only social species to insist on carrying out sex privately. Stranger yet, we have sex at any time, even when the female can't be fertilized (for example, because she is already pregnant, post-menopausal, or between fertile cycles). A human female doesn't know her precise time of fertility and certainly doesn't advertise it to human males by the striking color changes, smells, and sounds used by other female mammals.Why do we differ so radically in these and other important aspects of our sexuality from our closest ancestor, the apes? Why does the human female, virtually alone among mammals go through menopause? Why does the human male stand out as one of the few mammals to stay (often or usually) with the female he impregnates, to help raise the children that he sired? Why is the human penis so unnecessarily large?There is no one better qualified than Jared Diamond-renowned expert in the fields of physiology and evolutionary biology and award-winning author-to explain the evolutionary forces that operated on our ancestors to make us sexually different. With wit and a wealth of fascinating examples, he explains how our sexuality has been as crucial as our large brains and upright posture in our rise to human status.

  You might probably have heard before about the vagus nerve, either in high school Biology, or now that the movement of awakening has become more and more popular. However, you possibly have questions regarding what it is, exactly, and what its functions are. 
  What does the Vagus Nerve do? 
  	The vagus nerve fulfills various different functions in the body:Motor: it provides innervations to most of the muscles that are found in the pharynx, larynx, and soft palate, to control their motor functions.Parasympathetic: as we mentioned, it provides innervations to muscles of the trachea, bronchi, and gastro-intestinal tract, and is in charge of regulating the rhythm of the heart and breath, reason why it has historically also been known as the pneumogastric nerve.Sensory: it provides innervation to the skin of the external acoustic meatus as well as the laryngopharynx and larynx’s internal surfaces. Still linked with its pneumogastric control, it additionally provides visceral sensation to the heart and viscera of the abdomen.Special sensory: thanks to the way it provides innervation, it also offers the sensation of taste to the root of the tongue and the epiglottis. This, however, is not the full sensation of taste that we experiment, which is actually provided to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue by the glossopharyngeal nerve.

  The Human Place in Nature -...

  John Schooneveldt

  This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based, bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others. Human ecologist John Schooneveldt emphasizes the role of context in evolution and the way animals internalize and engage with the contextual properties of their world that are meaningful for them. The core argument is that a context, which is subjective and comprised of the perceptual capacities, offers new insights into the evolution of mind. Rather than seeing biological evolution in terms of the emergence of mindless forms and cultural evolution as the emergence of disembodied minds, the book seeks to integrate these two perspectives through the rigorous mapping of contexts. 
   
  This book: reveals an understanding of animal minds; formulates a hypothesis for the evolution of consciousness; includes a discussion of the origin of technological innovation; provides a rationale for the ecology of mind; proposes a theory of the evolution of language; outlines the science of experience and how it influences choice; and explains the role of context and choice with respect, especially to human ecology.
