Using their hands and teeth, the chimps were repeatedly seen tearing side branches off long straight sticks, peeling back the bark and sharpening one end, the researchers report in Thursday's online issue of the journal Current Biology. Then, grasping the weapon in a "power grip," they jabbed into tree-branch hollows where bush babies -- small monkey-like mammals -- sleep during the day.
It was really alarming how forceful it was," said lead researcher Jill D. Pruetz of Iowa State University in Ames, adding that it reminded her of the murderous shower scene in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Psycho. "It was kind of scary.
The new observations are "stunning," said Craig Stanford, a primatologist and professor of anthropology at the University of Southern California. "Really fashioning a wea...

Un grand nombre d'études s'appuyant sur la TAD ont cherché à définir, aux États-Unis et dans d'autres pays, la relation entre une attitude parentale favorisant l'autonomie chez les enfants et la motivation de ceux-ci, leur santé mentale, leur niveau d'apprentissage et leur rendement scolaire. Ces études ont dans l'ensemble fait ressortir le rôle crucial que joue le soutien des parents pour que les besoins psychologiques fondamentaux de l'enfant soient comblés et qu'il puisse ainsi croître et s'adapter le mieux possible. Par exemple, [Ryan, Grolnick] et Ryan (1989) ont effectué des entrevues à la maison avec des parents d'élèves de la troisième à la sixième année. [Les] pères et les mères ont été interrogés séparément. On leur a demandé de décrire leur façon de faire avec leurs enfants p...

His name was Joseph Flood. He was my uncle -- Uncle Joe -- two words that were rarely uttered in the Flood clan without also saying "and Aunt Bonny.
My next memory of Uncle Joe also had to do with a car. Our family did not own one. But early one summer day, Uncle Joe came by and picked up my parents and siblings and drove us to West Hawk Lake, where his family was vacationing in tents. There were other branches of the clan there and many of my "bestest" cousins.
Then I realized that what I was learning was how to learn, something that I had not until that late moment in my young life learned before. I realized that while it wasn't easy, it wasn't that hard either. I went to university, did quite well, and have used throughout my life the lesson I learned at a reading table with my Unc...
