A new study challenges the long-held belief that mammals that survive mass extinctions are generic generalists. Researchers found that the survivors actually possessed new and different traits that helped them adapt and thrive in the aftermath of catastrophes. The study focused on the mammal family tree and revealed that larger synapsids, not just small insect-eaters, were the ones that survived at certain points in evolution. These survivors had novel characteristics, such as specialized teeth, which allowed them to eat a wider variety of food. The findings suggest that the mammals that made it through mass extinctions were not as generic as previously assumed, highlighting the importance of new traits in evolutionary success.

Psychologists are challenging the traditional view of psychopathy by studying "successful psychopaths" who exhibit psychopathic tendencies but manage to stay out of trouble. The focus on violent and criminal behavior has marginalized the study of this misunderstood branch of human behavior. Psychopathy is a composite of traits including meanness, disinhibition, and boldness. Researchers believe that the degree of boldness may determine whether someone with psychopathic traits can excel in leadership positions and make their life a success. The dimensional approach to studying psychopathy has opened new doors for research, allowing psychologists to recruit participants from the general population rather than just prisons.
