Wasps Reveal Clues about the Evolution of Intelligence: Scientific American – Experts have long suspected that complex social interaction drove the evolution of large brains in humans. Now a study in wasps supports and refines that theory: it seems that dominant individuals have larger brain regions responsible for higher-order cog
Web Strategy: The Three Spheres of Web Strategy (and the skills required) – A great graphic model from Jeremiah Owyang about the balance of community, business, and tech needed for successful websites. Like most three-legged stool models, it can be extrapolated to other things such as biz in general.
