POPSPolygamy is the key to a long life Men, by contrast, can reproduce well into their 60s and even 70s and 80s, and most researchers assumed this explained their longevity. But Lummaa and colleague Andy Russell wondered whether other factors explained the long lifespan of men, such as a grandfather effect. If female survival is the main explanation for male longevity, then monogamous and polygamous men would live for about the same length of time. Instead, it seems that fathering more kids with more wives leads to increased male longevity. Men, then, live long because they're fertile well into their grey years. The explanation could be both social and genetic. Men who continue fathering kids into their 60s and 70s could take better care for their bodies because they have mouths to feed. But evolutionary forces acting over thousands of years could also select for longer-lived men in polygamous cultures.

POPSNew Data Shows U.S. Fertility Trends The Census Bureau released a new report on fertility in America this morning, showing some interesting results. First off, the data says that 20% of women in their early 40s were childless in 2006, twice the percentage reported in the 1970s. It also suggests that the majority of new moms have or had careers and many of them graduate or professional degrees -though it doesn't detail how many women returned to work or quit to be stay-at-home moms. In terms of state-by-state comparisons, the numbers also show that moms in D.C., Mississippi and North Carolina were the most likely to have never married.

POPSWhat are the consequences of scientific misconduct? Despite this, 16 out of the 37 traceable scientists were still employed in academia. Redman and Merz failed to breakdown the punishments by the type of misconduct committed, but they did note that falsification and fabrication were treated more severely than plagiarism.

POPSWhy a faked Beijing Olympic girl surprised you? I cannot agree more. Although i feel a little sad about the fact the girl doing the singing could not perform on the ceremony. So long the 'real' girl is happy about it. Since it's a big event finding out something fake in it shouldn't surprise you. They can even fake the studium going on fire if they want, it's Beijing Olympic . I wouldn't be surprised to find London fake some of the things in 2012:-)
