Sexual relations between ancient humans and their evolutionary cousins are critical for our modern immune systems, researchers report in Science journal.

Mating with Neanderthals and another ancient group called Denisovans introduced genes that help us cope with viruses to this day, they conclude.

Previous research had indicated that prehistoric interbreeding led to up to 4% of the modern human genome.

The new work identifies stretches of DNA derived from our distant relatives.

Since cancer cells depend on glucose more than normal cells, we compared the effects of low carbohydrate (CHO) diets to a Western diet on the growth rate of tumors in mice. To avoid caloric restriction–induced effects, we designed the low CHO diets isocaloric with the Western diet by increasing protein rather than fat levels because of the reported tumor-promoting effects of high fat and the immune-stimulating effects of high protein. We found that both murine and human carcinomas grew slower in mice on diets containing low amylose CHO and high protein compared with a Western diet characterized by relatively high CHO and low protein. There was no weight difference between the tumor-bearing mice on the low CHO or Western diets...

(Sorry in advance, in a playful mood this morning)

I'm looking for solid empirical evidence on why I should have multiple wives.  Please provide any links/information so I can share with my woman.

For some reason she and I aren't on the same page about this...

Parenting / How long did you breastfeed?
« on: June 26, 2011, 06:39:39 PM »
We're thinking about having another child, but our first is around 1 and still breastfeeding.  For various reasons I hear this can prevent/hinder pregnancy.

Any thoughts?  Also, someone commented here recently about a 3-4 year separation between siblings as the natural gap; a link to info would be appreciated, cheers!

Parenting / In support of roughhousing

Go ahead. Throw your children around. It’s good for them, say Anthony T. DeBenedet and Lawrence J. Cohen, the authors of “The Art of Roughhousing: Good Old-Fashioned Horseplay and Why Every Kid Needs It.” You can trust them, because they are doctors. Well, DeBenedet is an M.D., while Cohen has a Ph.D. And in the days before Father’s Day they chatted with me by e-mail about exactly how “rough” the horseplay should get.

Parenting / People buying your kids gifts
« on: May 01, 2011, 05:11:02 AM »
Any tips on how to deal with others buying your kids gifts?  We usually have just about everything we need (I am grateful for this) and he doesn't need seven hundred plastic toys or 65 outfits.

Miscellaneous / Regular blood donation for health?
« on: April 30, 2011, 12:28:28 PM »
I've heard "wives' tales" of some men doing this for supposed health purposes.  The gist being that we don't regularly lose blood like women, and without regular fighting/battles most men don't lose any blood.

Feel free to discuss, or call me insane ;)

Exercises / Push/Pull workouts/splits
« on: April 09, 2011, 08:45:49 AM »
Anyone try these ever?  I've enjoyed them if shooting for 3-4 days straight of workouts.  Not ideal perhaps but a good compromise.

Here's an example:

Push Day
---
Barbell Bench Press   
Barbell Squat
Overhead barbell press
Close-grip bench press
Standing Calf Raises   

Pull Day
---
Deadlift
Bent-over Row
Chin Ups / Drag Curls
Barbell Shrug
Hanging Leg Raise
