Complexity and Evolution

By the way, one of the parasitologists Carl Zimmer interviewed for Parasite Rex was Dr. Daniel R. Brooks a very cool biologist I met at Pedro Sotolongo’s complexity conference in Havana a few years ago. Dan is brilliant on ways in which evolutionary theory intersects with concepts in complexity, self-organization and information theories.

The draft Oregon statute defines bullying as "derogatory remarks, insults or epithets, physical conduct that a reasonable person would find threatening, intimidating or humiliating, or the gratuitous sabotage or undermining of an employee's work performance."...

You Are Not in Control Dave Snowden is all freaked out about how parasites can influence the behavior of their infected hosts—even humans and human cultures. According to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, (nicely summarized by LiveScience on MSNBC) a unicellular organism “precisely alters fear.” Toxoplasma gondii causes rats to be attracted to—rather than fear—the smell of cats because T. gondii’s life cycle requires both animals. The rats get it by eating cat feces and the cats get it back by eating the rats. Changing the behavior of the rats presumably facilitates both transfers. It does not otherwise endanger their survival because it leaves their other instinctual fears alone. Here’s the thing: up to 80% of humans are also infected by T. gondii at one point or other in their lives. There can be serious physiological consequences, but apparently psychological ones, too.
