A paleontologist's blog about Ice Age fossils from Riverside County and the Western Science Center, working through unidentified bones from a poorly documented Temecula site and explaining museum practices like skeletal mounting. Readers get detailed, first-hand identification reasoning and insight into how museum exhibits are built.
A professor of evolutionary psychology writes about sex differences, the nature-nurture debate, and human behaviour, often discussing new papers and excerpts from his book. Readers get research-based commentary with evolutionary context and the author's own views.
Experimental History publishes essays that test popular claims against data and ideas from psychology, economics and the history of science. Readers get contrarian, humorous, evidence-driven takes on topics like AI and jobs, loneliness statistics, and why discoveries happen.
Essays on science, biology, AI alignment and the quirks of internet discourse, written with a wry, speculative voice. Each issue works through an unusual question or theory, often with humor and explicit epistemic caveats.
