Around a quarter of all prescription drugs sold around the world are believed to be based on chemicals obtained from only forty plant species. So far, fewer than 1% of the world's 265,000 flowering plants have been tested for their powers to cure.

Scientists have succeeded in making human volunteers immune to malaria by injecting them with genetic material. The breakthrough brings the prospect of a much-needed vaccine significantly closer. Malaria kills between one and two million people every year - mostly children and mostly in Africa - and makes a further 500 million people ill. The hunt for a vaccine has lasted for more than 20 years. Dr Stephen Huffman and his team of researchers have injected genes taken from the malarial microbe, which cannot cause the disease in themselves, into 20 volunteers, following successful tests on animals. The volunteers' immune systems were found to be as good as those of people who have naturally contracted the infection through a mosquito bite and recovered.

In the 51 countries with the most significant gap, 75 million fewer girls than boys were enrolled in school. Afghanistan and Pakistan saw the greatest increases in the gap over the ten-year period, in spite of the survey being conducted before the fundamentalist Islamic Taliban militia came to power. On the other hand, a number of Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, have made the biggest strides towards closing the education gap.

If the Nobel Peace Prize were awarded for actually securing peace, many of those who have received it would have to give it back. For example, in 1994 Yasir Arafat, Yitsak Rabin, and Shimon Peres received the prize jointly, though years later Palestinians and Israelis are still fighting. Mikhail Gorbachev, who received the Prize in 1990, dissolved the Soviet Union, but left the Russian economy in collapse and its people in chaos. One of the more notorious awards went to Henry Kissinger and Le Due Tho, who negotiated a cease-fire to end the Vietnam War. The war went on for two more years, and Le Due Tho, though not Kissinger, was honest enough to decline the award.

69- If we think of the Neanderthal man at all, we tend to think of an ape-like creature, ugly and low in intelligence. In fact this distant ancestor of ours was more intelligent and accomplished than is generally acknowledged. He made tools such as stone knives, flint balls and scrapers that were not only useful, but beautiful. It was also the Neanderthal man who first developed the use of mineral colours, the first signs of mankind's inherent artistic sense. ... .
