I read constantly, and most of it's actually fiction. Right now, I'm reading three awesome books- Masked, a short story anthology about super heroes, Depraved, which is a splatterpunk novel about mutant hillbillies (like Wrong Turn) with a hell of a lot more rape, on a bigger scale), and These Guns For Hire, another short story anthology. I don't really consider research for the blog reading, since it's more like hard-core skimming. <br /><br />Cormac- I'll be touching on that a bit in the next blog.Jamie Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182869171233847161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-39458220611408259812011-02-21T19:02:20.028-05:002011-02-21T19:02:20.028-05:00Socrates said that right before he sodomized a you...Socrates said that right before he sodomized a young Greek marathoner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-79615260374715392011-02-21T09:13:56.586-05:002011-02-21T09:13:56.586-05:00"I swear it upon Zeus, an outstanding runner ..."I swear it upon Zeus, an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler."<br /><br />~SocratesGlen MacCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362518660303256909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-71081024135610173432011-02-19T12:33:04.460-05:002011-02-19T12:33:04.460-05:00Since I've found your blog...I've really s...Since I've found your blog...I've really started to hate running.

I find history and biology to be fantastical enough to negate the need. That was nerdy and somewhat gay, but i stand by that last sentence. <br /><br />YOu read much fiction since doing a bioscience degree? (sorry i dont know what degree you did exactly). Over the past 2 years my interests have been tipping more towards lit reviews and science mags. Both sources are far superior to the lecture notes anyway.BLOCK A9 CAMPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027443870681779803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-14063647707936571422011-02-18T19:15:30.371-05:002011-02-18T19:15:30.371-05:00Interesting.

You may edit the format to word rendering it more reader friendly.<br /><br />Definitely worth a read. Thats my second time reading it. Another book i feel would appeal to your interests is Guns Germs and Steel by the same author. This contains some similar biogeographical themes to it as 3rd Chimp but it accomodates the role of smallpox and other diseases in the post 1492 successes of the Europeans in South America. Archaeologists found vestiges of cities in America large enough in size to contain in upwards of 80,000 people, with smallpox genes discovered in the remains of the indians.BLOCK A9 CAMPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027443870681779803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-55958621974880716492011-02-18T18:50:36.773-05:002011-02-18T18:50:36.773-05:00Lol this is hilarious i just finished reading the ...Lol this is hilarious i just finished reading the rise and fall of the third chimpanzee by jared diamond there, http://www.e-reading.org.ua/bookreader.php/73183/Diamond_-_The_rise_and_fall_of_the_third_chimpanzee.html <br /><br />and then i come down to this article on your blog! Read the book backwards because i was mostly interested in biogeography's role in the imbalance of power in the world, putting to rest the idea that whites are innately superior to other races.<br /><br />The first few chapters contain info on the development of hunting in proto humans. This will appeal to you although Diamond dismisses some points as exaggerated views on hunting from a men's locker room mentality. <br />Women were supposedly moulded by men's big game hunting, suppressing their external signs of ovulation (obvious in chimps) as to refrain from overexcited men and thus spoiling mens cooperation at hunting. Hunting is thought by some to have induced proto human males to develop language and big brains, join into bands and share food.<br /><br />Modern day evidence from New Guinean tribes with whom he spent time with suggests that proto humans were not mighty hunters but skilled chimps. Although the men like to talk about their kangaroo hunt conquests, when it came down to brass tacks, the average male only caught a large animal once or twice in his lifetime! <br /><br />Most of the calories consumed among New Guinean tribes are from plant food collected by women hahahahha. <br /><br />Middle Stone Age Africans can barely be considered big game hunters, as they usually confined themselves to old weak animals, or babies.<br /><br />No noticeable progress in innovation was to be noted late ice age people come along. You covered this in your article. I thought this would be a suitable addition.BLOCK A9 CAMPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027443870681779803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-6586940416263199082011-02-18T18:48:16.513-05:002011-02-18T18:48:16.513-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.BLOCK A9 CAMPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027443870681779803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-63083671998306874912011-02-18T12:46:17.624-05:002011-02-18T12:46:17.624-05:00It wasn't until the pic at the end of your pos...It wasn't until the pic at the end of your post that I realized why I turned on my computer this morning.
