• Babies' names and the internet: Local yokels | The Economist: The proportion of newborns with common names in any given state and its immediate neighbours became 30% higher than would have been expected if there were no geographic effect. Dr Goldenberg and Dr Levy ascribe this rise to the internet. It certainly correlates with the emergence of the web, though whether the correlation reflects causation is unproven. But whatever the reason, it is a curious result.

• Late Pleistocene Demography and the Appearance of Modern Human Behavior -- Powell et al. 324 (5932): 1298 -- Science: The origins of modern human behavior are marked by increased symbolic and technological complexity in the archaeological record. In western Eurasia this transition, the Upper Paleolithic, occurred about 45,000 years ago, but many of its features appear transiently in southern Africa about 45,000 years earlier. We show that demography is a major determinant in the maintenance of cultural complexity and that variation in regional subpopulation density and/or migratory activity results in spatial structuring of cultural skill accumulation. Genetic estimates of regional population size over time show that densities in early Upper Paleolithic Europe were similar to those in sub-Saharan Africa when modern behavior first appeared. Demographic factors can thus explain geographic variation in the timing of the first appearance of modern behavior without invoking increased cognitive capacity.

• Developing world facing an aging crisis: New research warns of a population time bomb for developing nations as the ratio of elderly people rises faster than in the industrialised world. A report for the French Institute for Demographic Studies says poorer states have only a short time to set up workable pension schemes. The alternative is the prospect of vast numbers of their elderly people living in poverty, the report warns.

• Pascal Hetze: Nachhaltige Hochschulstrat egien für mehr MINT - Absolventen: Absolventen der sogenannten MINT-Fächer (Mathematik, Informatik, Natur- und Technikwissens chaften) werden in Zukunft besonders gefragt sein. Die wesentlichen Gründe dafür sind ein wirtschaftlich er Strukturwandel hin zu einer forschungs- und wissensintensi ven Gesellschaft und ein durch den demografischen Wandel bedingter hoher Ersatzbedarf für die in den Ruhe- stand gehende Generation von MINT-Fachkräft en. Während der Bedarf von MINT-Absolvent en langfristig wächst, steigt die Zahl von MINT-Absolvent en kaum, ihr Anteil an allen Studienabsolve nten hat sogar in den vergangenen zehn Jahren abgenommen. Unabhängig von konjunkturelle n Entwicklungen droht deshalb in den kommenden Jahren eine strukturelle Fachkräftelück e in diesem Bereich.
