Virtual Neanderthals
Our closest hominid relatives may have died out 30,000 years before the arrival of the computer, but thanks to modern genomics and scanning technology, they
are now very present in the 21st century and can even help us understand our
own species.

Don't play with food
Food prices on global markets rose sharply before the financial crisis and are now rising again. Global warming, the rise of biofuels, and the increasing demand all play a role, but experts also warn of the consequences of increasing speculation with food commodities.

Africa hosts the majority of human genetic diversity, the clues to human origins, and the heaviest disease burden. Yet genomics has so far focused on people of European descent. Now Africans and other populations left out are hoping to reap the benefits as well.

Valuing Nature
After decades of environmentalist campaigning, businesses still pollute and destroy the natural environment because these “externalities” don’t enter their balance sheets. Now politicians, NGOs, academics and business leaders are coming together to save what remains of the natural environment by working out just how valuable it is for us.

Regenerative medicine spoilt for choice
Embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent cells, transdifferentiated cells - there is now a wide range of options for medical researchers trying to regenerate disease-affected tissues and organs. But which approach will win the day, and can science policy keep up with the bioethical implications of rapid progress?
