Feather Care
Edited and introduced by James Fisher
Birds' plumage is unique among animals and to keep it in good order birds have evolved an elaborate toilette. They bathe in water, snow, or dust, are equipped with combs for preening, and use powder and oil. They also sun-bathe and stretch themselves-and sometimes even yawn!
These intriguing problems in bird hygiene are discussed by Michael CULLEN , DEREK GOODWIN , and KENNETH SIMMONS.

4-The Genetic System of Man
Since the war an important change of emphasis has taken place in the study of selection and evolution. As a result many of the confident pronouncements and predictions of the past have come to be viewed with scepticism. The straightforward principles of simple Mendelian inheritance - on which Eugenist theories are largely based-can be seen to apply only in relatively exceptional, not to say freakish, cases. Nevertheless, as examples given in this lecture show, there is scarcely any social custom or legislative act without some genetic effects The difficulty is to know in advance to any degree of useful precision what these effects are likely to be.
Some people fear that the spread of birth control will lead to a progressive decline in natural fertility with disastrous consequences for the biological fitness of human populations. This evening's broadcast examines this belief and draws attention to other, less grave, consequences which are far more likely.
