This is about an American association of physicial anthropologists meeting,which
mainly talk about the thesis "Tuberculosis Jumped From Humans to Cows, Not Vice Versa."
At the meeting, a DNA study of 10 species of mycobacteria showed that early humans were infected with strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which cause TB, long before they began herding cattle. That suggests that it was humans who transmitted the disease to bovids and other animals

When Temple Grandin argued that animals and autistic savants share cognitive similarities in her best-selling book Animals in Translation (2005), the idea gained steam outside the community of cognitive neuroscientists. Grandin, a professor of animal science whose best-selling books have provided an unprecedented look at the autistic mind, says her autism gives her special insight into the inner workings of the animal mind. She based her proposal on the observation that animals, like autistic humans, sense and respond to stimuli that nonautistic humans usually overlook.

Brain asymmetry in other species: reading canine emotions and other phenomena
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nytimes.com)
Many scientists believe that only humans, because of the development of language in the left brain, show brain asymmetry -- have right and left hemispheres that perform slightly different functions. However, many other animals show behaviors that may be explained by brain asymmetry. This particular article focuses on dogs: There may be more to our furry, drool-spewing pals than meets the eye. Sure, they wag their tails when they're happy, but it seems there's more to it than that. This piece comes with quick illustrations.
