If you have an interest in human evolutionary science, please consider taking part in a small, fun contest to help write a new description (the "group bio") for the Newsvine Human Evolution group. The description should be short, no more than one or two sentences, and should explain why you think human evolutionary science is important. Use the comments section of this article to submit your description(s). Votes from Newsvine users will help determine the winner. (And feel free to comment on other peoples' descriptions because that helps too!)
Far beyond novelty science, the study of our species' evolutionary past helps us better understand the building blocks of our bodies, minds and societies. This research yields explanations for present-day health problems, psychological disorders, and sociological dilemmas. A better understanding of our evolutionary past can provide new perspectives not only on global society as a whole, but also on your individual daily circumstances.
If you've been following news related to human evolution recently, you've noticed that the pace of discoveries and developments has been rapidly picking up. Advancements in genome sequencing, new archaeological finds, and new theory and methods used by evolutionary-minded social scientists are quickly expanding understanding of our evolutionary past. The Human Evolution group on Newsvine is designed to help interested readers from all fields keep up.
Please join the group if you're interested in the subject (go to the group to join).
