There's an intriguing book review in Science this week: *Studying Human Behavior* How Scientists Investigate Aggression and Sexuality *by Helen E. Longino* University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2013. 261 pp. S75. ISBN 9780226492872. Paper, $25, £16. ISBN 9780226492889.

So, what's scientific evidence now? -- rec --
