Like Princeton, Harvard has drawn up an environmentally-conscious building plan for Allston and is attempting to address a lack of student social...

Such primitive triggers almost certainly afforded survival advantages to our ancestors when they decided which plants to pick or which caves to enter, but Knutson surmises that vestiges of this system are at work as we make more mundane choices at the mall.
