CARTA: The Evolution of Human Nutrition


UCtelevision

Published on Feb 7, 2013

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Tracing the evolution of the human diet from our earliest ancestors can lead to a better understanding of human adaptation in the past. It may also offer clues to the origin of many health problems we currently face, such as obesity and chronic disease. This fascinating series of talks focuses on the changing diets of our ancestors and what role these dietary transitions played in the evolution of humans. Here Mary C. Stiner (Univ of Arizona) discusses Archaic Human Diets followed by Alyssa Crittenden (Univ of Nevada, Las Vegas) on Current Hunter-Gatherer Diets and Steven Leigh (Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) on Diets and Microbes in Primates.

Inside Story Americas – Is John Brennan the man for the top CIA job?


AlJazeeraEnglish

Published on Feb 7, 2013

In the week that members of the US Senate are due to question John Brennan, an architect of President Obama’s policy of drone warfare, a discussion finally appears to be taking place in the US media about the programme of extrajudicial killing he is thought largely to have designed. A leaked government document obtained by NBC news revealed the Obama administration’s legal rationale for the killing of US citizens.

Drone Spin: Killing machine PR swarms US mainstream


RussiaToday

Published on Feb 7, 2013

Yielding to an angry congress, President Barack Obama has agreed to hand over classified documents, which he says justify his policy of ordering targeted killings of suspected terrorists. U.S. lawmakers have been demanding the files for years, but the President had staunchly refused. Recently however, some senators hinted they would block his nominee for CIA chief from taking office. John Brennan – the man behind the U.S. drone programme – is to face the Senate at his confirmation hearing on Thursday. And, as RT’s Gayane Chichakyan reports, his confirmation might broaden the horizons, for America’s drone fleets.
