Abstract:

Within the latitude of a science-fictional elsewhere and elsewhen, women can establish their own social norms and accepted praxis. The modification encountered in alternate feminist spacetimes specifically incorporate many new ideologies concerning motherhood. Central to this discussion is the means by which feminist authors regard the influences of patriarchal institutions and the subsequent changes in society because of, or in spite of, these changes. The male-dominated fields of technological patriarchy (reproduction and fertility "specialists") and the military, for example, are areas upon

Human Subjects is a collection of eight short stories that explore the role of identity, otherness, and personhood in contemporary life. Two sex workers try to buy new faces after a botched plastic surgery, a young girl struggles to find her place in a religious sweat cult, mixed race orphans commune with ghosts in a Korean orphanage, best friends embark on a road trip across America in search of a mother. Human Subjects works to tell stories about deeply felt wants and desires from perspectives at the margins, caught in a state of in between. This collection grapples with what it means to be

Abstract:

While an interest in the origin of human beings may be a cultural universal, there are various views and beliefs about how this event took place. In Canada, a recent (2010) Angus Reid survey revealed that only 61% of Canadians accepted that humans evolved over millions of years; 39% of the population either believed in creationism or did not accept evolution as a scientific fact. These statistics suggest that human evolution education is a topic that needs to be addressed.This thesis investigates the role of museums in public education about human evolution.

Abstract:

During evolution, biological differences between species can arise not only due to structural differences between genes, but also following changes in how, where and when genes are active. However, we know much less about this second aspect, because large-scale comparative transcriptomics only became feasible relatively recently. In this thesis, I will therefore investigate several aspects of gene expression evolution, with emphasis on our own species. A first step to understanding regulatory evolution is to determine how variation in gene expression is created. Transposable elements (TEs) are

This thesis explores Doris Lessing’s writing of evolution and genetics in her space fiction through two contexts: first, through a historical global crisis for capitalism in the 1970s following a temporary breakdown of post-war Euro-US financial hegemony; and second, through a philosophical shift in scientific discourse from an age of reductionism to an age of complexity or emergence. After almost two decades of writing realism, Lessing started writing what she calls ‘space fiction’ in the late 1960s in the final section of The Four-Gated City (1969), and she did not stop for over a decade, wi

Abstract:

From a Darwinian perspective, both history and environment are causal factors for change in animal social behaviour. Because behaviour leaves no fossil evidence researchers have focused on how social systems help animals and humans adapt to their current environments and have only been able to make tentative suggestions about how such systems may have evolved. However, a new theoretical framework, based on Darwin’s insights, allows phylogenetic relatedness to be incorporated into comparative analyses to discover the ancestral states of social behaviour and the ultimate drivers of change in hum

Abstract:

This study examined the hypothesis that natural selection exerts control of the human sex ratio via allelic variation in an autosomal gene that is phenotypically expressed in the male reproductive system. The hypothesis was supported by results from an analysis of a large genealogical dataset, in which inheritance of sex ratio variation by male but not female offspring was found. A series of simulations with a population genetic model showed that equality of the sex ratio may be maintained in a dynamic equilibrium by frequency dependent selection acting on such a gene.

In contrast to the enterovirus (EV-A-D) species that commonly infect the gut, HRV are generally thought to be acid labile with replication restricted to the respiratory tract. Investigations of the clinical correlations of HRV infections detected on diagnostic screening of respiratory specimens demonstrated no specific association between

Metastasis is the main cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. Despite its clinical significance, several fundamental questions about the metastatic process in humans remain unsolved. Does metastasis occur early or late in cancer progression? Do metastases emanate directly from the primary tumor or give rise to each other? How does heterogeneity in the primary tumor relate to the genetic composition of secondary lesions? Addressing these questions in representative patient populations is crucial, but has been difficult so far. Here we present a simple, scalable PCR assay that enables the trac

Abstract:

All cancers were once normal cells. They became cancerous through the chance acquisition of particular somatic mutations that gave them a selective advantage over their neighbours. Thus, the mutations that initiate cancer occur in normal cells, and the normal clonal dynamics of the tissue determine a mutant cell's ability to establish a malignant clone; yet these remain poorly understood in humans. One tissue was selected for the exploration of each of these two facets of somatic evolution: blood for clonal dynamics; colon for mutational processes. Blood presents an opportunity to study normal

A satisfactory account of human cognitive evolution will explain not only the psychological mechanisms that make our species unique, but also how, when, and why these traits evolved.
