In the last 60,000 years, humans have emerged as an ecologically dominant species and have successfully colonized every terrestrial habitat. Our evolutionary success has been facilitated by a heavy reliance on an ever-advancing technology. Understanding how human technology evolves is crucial to understanding why humans have enjoyed such unprecedented evolutionary success.
ASU doctoral graduate Jacob Harris, working with ASU researcher Robert Boyd and Brian Wood from the University of California Las Angeles and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, are interested in the role of causal knowledge in the manufacture, transmission, and ultimately, the evolution of technology. Causal knowledge is the ability to predict the effect of an intentional modification of a system, like the design and manufacture of traditional bow-and-arrow technology the focus of their investigation.

Ying Ma, former communications director for the No on Prop 16 campaign in California, explains how to fight the identity politics agenda.
The early days of the Biden administration have presented racial justice and racial equity as the new buzzwords for the entire executive branch.
These are the marching orders governing everything from immigration policy to Cabinet nominations to affirmative action in higher education. Worshipping at the altar of wokeness and identity politics will be required for the next four years.
But those who believe in equality for all rather than special treatment for some should not despair: Just last November, a wildly successful campaign in California beat back the equity onslaught in a most unlikely landslide victory.
10 Questions With… Curtis and Jonathan Moody

Moody Nolan has much to celebrate. Black History Month is one. Receiving the 2021 AIA Architecture Firm Award is another. Still another is its diversity. The Black-owned and led firm with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and 10 more offices nationwide counts 42 percent women and 32 percent identifying as minorities in its staff of 230. Kudos to the team, but especially to Curtis J. Moody who had the vision and bravery to start an architecture firm in 1982 in the midst of an economic downturn with just one graduate student. By year’s end, however, Moody and Associates had grown to nine staff members, and Curtis joined forces with the engineering firm Howard E. Nolan and Associates. Ergo the name of the father-son-helmed firm we know today. Its mantra is “responsive,” the precept applying to architecture, interior design, and experiential design comprising the studio’s vast portfolio across commer
Intensive arm motor therapy improved modified Rankin Scale scores among a “substantial” portion of patients who had experienced a stroke, according to findings published in Neurology.The study results demonstrated that gains in specific motor impairments correlated with a higher likelihood of improvement, the researchers noted.
