Arizona State University scientist Thomas Morgan has a new hypothesis that could change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Morgan and Stanford University Professor Marcus Feldman address this question in their new paper, "Human culture is uniquely open-ended not uniquely cumulative" Morgan : "The way that animals think about what they’re doing constrains the way that their cultures can evolve".

Jonathan Lu is the first vet that helped ASU honors students work on HPV research as part of Barrett College's largest-ever group thesis.

Lu has looked out for the health of his fellow military service members his whole career, starting with his role as a combat medic in the U.S. Army .
