Are we humans simply remodelled apes? Chimps with a tweak? Is the difference between our genomes so minuscule it justifies the argument that our cognition and behaviour must also differ from chimps by barely a whisker? If “chimps are us” should we grant them human rights? Or is this one of the biggest fallacies in the study of evolution? NOT A CHIMP argues that these similarities have been grossly over-exaggerated - we should keep chimps at arm’s length. Are humans cognitively unique after all?

Code rage: The "warrior gene" makes me mad! (Whether I have it or not)
Here's a nice "pissed off" piece in Scientific American by John Horgan, on the total and cynical over-hyping of the discovery of weak links between a low DNA repeat allele of monoamine oxidase (MAO-L) - an enzyme involved in the metabolism of both serotonin and dopamine - and rage and violence.
