Caregiving for the children seems to be one of the most challenging tasks for the parents who should devote themselves totally despite endangering them. From the evolutionary perspective, this human behavior must have been the advantage in the survival of the species and rooted in ethological origin. John Bowlby, a child psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and great developmental researcher, had formulated the attachment theory linking psychoanalysis and ethology through evolutionary biology. His and later following researchers' outcomes have provided enormous influence on viewing parental caregiving and the insight of human relationships and interventions. This article overviews the attachment theory in terms of the goal oriented cybernetic system to gain the survival advantage of the offspring and investigates the evolutionary origin of the caregiving and attachment from the retiles of the Mesozoic era to the mammalian revolution and finally to the human being. Deeper understanding of the nurturance and adult relationships from the standpoint of evolution can provide clinical utility of awareness of clients' lives.

Background: Arctic-like (AL) lineages of rabies viruses (RABVs) remains endemic in some Arctic and Asia countries. However, their evolutionary dynamics are largely unappreciated. Objectives: We attempted to estimate the evolutionary history, geographic origin and spread of the Arctic-related RABVs. Methods: Full length or partial sequences of the N and G genes were used to infer the evolutionary aspects of AL RABVs by Bayesian evolutionary analysis. Results: The most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of the current Arctic and AL RABVs emerged in the 1830s and evolved independently after diversification. Population demographic analysis indicated that the viruses experienced gradual growth followed by a sudden decrease in its population size from the mid-1980s to approximately 2000. Genetic flow patterns among the regions reveal a high geographic correlation in AL RABVs transmission. Discrete phylogeography suggests that the geographic origin of the AL RABVs was in east Russia in approximately the 1830s. The ancestral AL RABV then diversified and immigrated to the countries in Northeast Asia, while the viruses in South Asia were dispersed to the neighboring regions from India. The N and G genes of RABVs in both clades sustained high levels of purifying selection, and the positive selection sites were mainly found on the C-terminus of the G gene. Conclusions: The current AL RABVs circulating in South and North Asia evolved and dispersed independently.

Here we analyze if the ionized shells associated with giant HII regions represent the progenitors of the larger neutral hydrogen supershells detected in the Milky Way and other spiral and dwarf irregular galaxies. We calculate the evolutionary tracks that 12 HII shells found by Relano et al. (2005, 2007) would have if they expanded into the interstellar medium because of multiple supernovae explosions occurring inside the cavity. We find, contrary to Relano et al. (2007), that the evolutionary tracks of these HII shells are inconsistent with the observed parameters of the largest and most massive neutral hydrogen supershells. Thus, an additional energy source to the multiple supernovae explosions is required in order to explain the origin of the most massive neutral hydrogen shells.

Historically, one of the most famous and endless controversies in science and science education is on the origin of life. Since 1859, when the 1st edition of 'On The Origin Of Species' written by Charles Darwin had been published in London. evolutionism had the support of the public and scholars Creationists. however, argue recently that the scientific creationism is supported by the vast geological, biological, palaeontological biochemical and even astronomical evidences. Strong arguments of creationists stirred up the sharpening critiques of evolutionists. In this paper. the author summarizes three recent evolutionary critiques on creationism and refutes them from creationist view. After examing the critiques. we find that they are not based on the decisive evolutionary evidences but considerable conjectures And we show that the majority of critiques stem from the lack of communication in the academic communities.

우주와 인간의 기원에 대한 관심은 역사적으로 인간 탐구의 중심 주제 중 하나였다. 기원에 관한 문제는 단순한 지적 호기심의 문제가 아닌 인간 정체성에 관한 것이자 인간의 운명과 관련된 중요한 문제이다. 인간의 기원과 관련하여 제시된 전통적인 모델은 크게 만물이 창조주에게서 기인하였다는 기독교의 창조론과 모든 것이 우연히 발생하여 하등에서 점점 고등동물로 진화하였다는 진화론, 그리고 기원에 관하여 우리는 아무것도 알 수 없다는 불가지론이 있다. 본 연구는 창조론과 진화론의 결합인 유신진화론을 다루고 있다. 유신진화론이란 만물이 하나님에게서 기원하긴 했지만 즉각적 창조가 아닌, 오랜 세월 진화의 과정을 통한 창조를 통한 것이었다고 주장한다. 기원에 관한 두 상충하는 이론을 기독교적으로 결합하여 제시한 것이 유신진화론인데, 이는 여러 가지 본질적 문제점을 안고 있는데 본 연구에서는 두 가지를 지적하였다. 첫째, 성경의 하나님이 전능한 창조주가 아닌 자연의 법칙에 국한된 모습으로 축소된다. 둘째, 성경의 사건을 상징적으로 해석함으로써 역사성을 거부하는 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 유신진화론보다는 오히려 진화론이나 창조론 둘 중 하나를 택하는 것이 더 합리적이다.

The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, is an important pathogen of rice plants. It is well known that genes encoded in the genome have different evolutionary histories that are related to their functions. Phylostratigraphy is a method that correlates the evolutionary origin of genes with evolutionary transitions. Here we applied phylostratigraphy to partition total gene content of M. oryzae into distinct classes (phylostrata), which we designated PS1 to PS7, based on estimation of their emergence time. Genes in individual phylostrata did not show significant biases in their global distribution among seven chromosomes, but at the local level, clustering of genes belonging to the same phylostratum was observed. Our phylostrata-wide analysis of genes revealed that genes in the same phylostratum tend to be similar in many physical and functional characteristics such as gene length and structure, GC contents, codon adaptation index, and level of transcription, which correlates with biological functions in evolutionary context. We also found that a significant proportion of genes in the genome are orphans, for which no orthologs can be detected in the database. Among them, we narrowed down to seven orphan genes having transcriptional and translational evidences, and showed that one of them is implicated in asexual reproduction and virulence, suggesting ongoing evolution in this fungus through lineage-specific genes. Our results provide genomic basis for linking functions of pathogenicity factors and gene emergence time.

The theories of cultural evolution hold subtly or clearly different stances about definition of culture, pattern of cultural evolution, biases that affect cultural evolution, and relationship between culture and organism. However, the cultural evolution theories have a common problem to solve: As the evolutionary theory of life tries to explain the early steps and the origin of life, the cultural evolution theories also must explain the early steps of the cultural evolution and the role of the human capability that makes cultural evolution possible. Therefore, explanations of the human's unique traits including the cultural ability are related to determine which one is the most plausible among many cultural evolution theories. Theories that tried to explain human uniqueness commonly depict the coevolution of gene (organism) and culture. We will explicitly call the niche construction theory and the dual inheritance theory the 'gene-culture co-evolutionary theory'. In these theories, the most important concept is the 'concept of positive feedback'. In this paper, we distinguish between core positive feedback and marginal positive feedback, according to whether the trait that the concept of positive feedback explains is the trait of human uniqueness. Both types of positive feedback effectively explain the generality of human uniqueness and the diversity of human traits driven by cultural groups. However, this positive feedback requires an end, in contrast to negative feedback which can be continued in order to maintain homeostasis. We argue that the co-evolutionary process in the gene-culture co-evolutionary theories include only the positive feedback, not covering the cultural evolution after the positive feedback. This thesis strives to define the coevolution concept more comprehensively by suggesting the potential relationships between gene and culture after the positive feedback.

1차에서 6차에 이르기까지 13종의 교과서의 진화내용을 분석하였다. 9가지 성분으로 구분된 교과서의 내용분석은 80가지 진화내용 항목에 대해 이루어졌다. 분석결과 교과서에서 진화내용의 총량은 증가하였으나 총 진화내용 중 본논문내용이 차지하는 비중은 1차에서 6차 교육과정에 따라 개발된 교과서로 가며 점차 감소하였고 진화내용의 비중은 생물교육과정과 교과서 저자의 시각에 의해서도 영향을 받았다. 대체로 분석된 교과서에서 다루어진 진화주제는 다양성면에서 부족하였다. 어떤 주제 항목은- '집단선택', '유전자 선택', '화석 기록에서의 공백', '공진화', 단속 평형설', '혼합진화', '인류진화에 있어서의 노동의 위치', 인종의 차이', ''개체발생의 계통발생을 반복한다'에 대한 비판', '진화에 영향을 미치는 인간의 활동'-다루어지지 않았고 또 어떤 항목은-'중립설', '지질시대에서 발견되는 주요사건에 관한 설(멸종에 관한 내용 제외)', '동소적 종분화', '연속변이적 종분화 및 지역효과 종분화', '배수성과 진화', '점진주의', '연장류의 기원과 진화'-거의 언급되지 않았다. 가장 강조된 주제 항목은 '일반적인 계통학', '세포전 단계의 형성', '기타' 순으로 많이 강조되었다. 자연선택설은 진화의 중요 주제임에도 불구하고 여러진화설중의 하나로 다루어졌다. 또한 유전적 평형을 붕괴시키는 요인으로서 유전적 부동이나 이주 등도 소홀히 다루어지고 있었고 종분화의 속도와 관련된 주제도 거의 언급되지 않았다. 반면 신뢰성이 의심되는 발생반복설이 진화 증거의 하나로 교과서에서 제시되었다. 이 결과에 근거해 교과서 저자들이 진화와 진화설을 설명할 때 자연 선택설에 초점을 맞추어 보다 의미 있는 주제를 소개할 것을 제안한다.

The origin of the well-known correlation between Hubble residual of Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) and mass of their host galaxies is yet to be fully understood. In our first paper of our YOnsei Evolutionary Supernovae Evolutionary Investigation (YONSEI) project, we found a significant (${\sim}3.9{\sigma}$) correlation between host galaxy mass (velocity dispersion) and population age from high S/N host spectra observed using LCO 2.5 m telescope. Since there is no correlation with metallicity, our result suggests that stellar population age is mainly responsible for the relation between host mass and HR. In order to explore this more directly, we have subsequently observed more sample of nearby early-type host galaxies using MMT 6.5 m telescope. In this poster presentation, we will report our progress in this project and show the preliminary results from our MMT observations.
