What’s for dinner? Scientists unearth key clues to cuisine of resident killer whales
University of Washington

Scientists have discovered the cuisine preferences of two resident killer whale populations: the Alaska residents and the endangered southern residents. The two populations show broad preference for salmon, particularly Chinook, chum and coho. But they differ in when they switch to hunting and eating different salmon species, as well as the other fish species they pursue to supplement their diets.

Play it Forward: Lasting Effects of Pretend Play in Early Childhood
Florida Atlantic University

As the school year revs up, a renowned child developmental psychologist highlights the robust benefits of pretend play on cognitive, social, and emotional development in children and cautions how “learning through play” has changed with the demands of contemporary society. Given natural selection’s shaping of childhood for the acquisition and refinement of species-adapted social-cognitive skills – much through pretend play – he says it’s unfortunate that modern culture is ignoring the evolved wisdom of how best to educate young children.
