In this article, a pedagogical experiment to verify the influence of a visit to the Zoology Museum of Barcelona on the preparation of a given school lesson, is described. The effect of two different types of exhibit, corresponding to two themes, the honey bees and the animal classification, se compared. Seven hundred and fifty two students, aging 11 to 12, from 25 classes of sixth-gaders and belonging to 18 different Barcelona schools, participated in ihis experience. In this paper, the measuremerits taken through testing (both control and experimental populations) corresponded to kriowledge, logic and motivation. From the analysis of vanance we conclude: a) The results for the two exhibit subjects are slightly different; b) To prepare either of the lessons in the museum is better than to do so only at school; c) To visit the museum previously, to see either of the two lessons, has a positive effect on the study at school of the other one. In fact, there are not perceivabie differences between the results obtained by those that prepared the lesson in the museum and those that prepared it at school after having visited the museum to do the other lesson. 1984-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2072/489345 La cara oculta de la teoría de Darwin Prats Joaniquet, Carme 1982-06-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2072/480087 Ancient genomics: clues about the earliest migrations out of Africa Martinón-Torres, María; Lalueza-Fox, Carles Analyses of 45,000-year-old bones from Europe allow scientists to pin down when modern humans interbred with Neanderthals, shedding light on the histories of populations with no present-day descendants. 2025-01-28T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/2072/480078 Beyond 10,000 ancient human genomes: ancestral origins at the Balkans Lalueza-Fox, Carles With more than 10,000 ancient human genomes published in 2023, thanks to new technological developments on DNA sequencing, we are now able to investigate multiple ancestry layers associated to past migrations that have shaped the genomes of modern populations. These studies have been able to unravel past social structures, as well as selective processes, that left genomic marks. In the Balkans, the recent analysis of some hundreds of ancient genomes from the last three thousand years have uncovered the genetic signals of globalisation during the Roman Empire and also the signals of the Slavic migrations after the 6th century BCE. Getting into historical periods, these population movements have strong cultural and even political implications, showing the complex nature of ancestry, genetics and identity. Genetics can offer objective data on human past and yet, their interpretation in terms of identity is complex. A multidisciplinary approach, involving different disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, history and even linguistics is recommended. 2024-06-17T00:00:00Z
