In May 2017, he published a book, “The Evolution of Beauty,” that lucidly and passionately explains his personal theory of aesthetic evolution. It was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction, but within the scientific community, Prum’s ideas have not been as warmly received.

Susan Potter gave her body to science. Her cadaver became immortal.

The cadaver, measuring five feet one inch from head to heel, 10 inches from back to front, and 19 inches from elbow to elbow, was placed in a freezer and frozen solid at minus 15 degrees F.

How Growing Up Poor Impacted My Thoughts On Parasite. I walk out of the movie theater; behind me is a very “American” upper-class family: a dad (probably called Richard) and a mom (probably called Carol) and their two kids (let’s call them Ashley and Brian).
