Archaeological Resource Guide for Europe -- As its name suggests, this set of links indexes Web sites, discussion groups, usenet newsgroups and other resources from or about Europe. It is well-organised and doesn't just put its links into a long list - it annotates most mentions with descriptive comments.
Paleontological Institute -- of the Russian Academy of Science. It has more paleontologists than any other institution in the world, but alas it has no permanent internet connection of its own, so it has to rely on borrowed space from University of California Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology -- This museum on the study of fossils gives the usual set of links to related sites and has a good "frequently asked questions" file on the subject, but the heart of the site is its online exhibits which are extensive and well cross-referenced.
Natural History Museum, London -- has extensive pages of information about its many galleries, its research programmes and links to other sites as you might expect. Like many other museums, it also provides some interactive galleries dubbed the Science Casebook. There you will find a discussion of the so-called Beast of Bodmin Moor and the newest addition, the Cosmic Football, about an unusual meteorite. It also has a "virtual reality" (VRML) project done with EU support. You can download digitised fossils and pick them up and rotate them on-screen.
Archnet -- Links worldwide to archaeological resources of all kinds, arranged by category and searchable.
Origins of Humankind -- This site includes news, updated a couple of times a month, articles on general topics or specific early species like Homo Habilis, live chat rooms and discussion bulletin boards, plus a space for papers on controversial theories of evolution and, of course, a collection of related links.
Classics of Out(land)ish Anthropology -- takes a wry look at the way in which popular culture in America promotes inaccurate cliches and publicises scientifically dubious claims.
Earth Sciences Site of the Week -- Brought to you by the Canadian Geological Survey Commission (which should know a good Earth Sciences site when they see it!). You can browse past sites by category.
EE-Link -- the Endangered and Extinct Species pages. An extensive set of links to information about which species are endangered or extinct, pictures of many endangered animals, what policies there are in place across the world to deal with this problem, and some classroom exercises to explain the problem to children. It also includes a searchable database.
Crocodilians Natural History and Conservation -- This site provides all the information you will ever need to know about crocodiles - for example, did you know that the incubation period for the Dwarf Crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis) is between 80 and 105 days? There is up- to-date information on all crocodile species, including breeding and behaviour. Find out more about the diet and sexual habits of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) or gain a better understanding of crocodilian communication - you never know, it may come in useful one day! Of course there are links to other crocodilian internet sites.
The Primate Gallery -- This superb site, launched in 1995 and administered by Tim Knight, a self-confessed primate enthusiast, aims to "provide a central source for collecting, digitizing and distributing primate images on the web". The pictures are accompanied by a wealth of information on the primate concerned. Find out which primate is noted for its shock of white hair and check out the Primate of the Week. You can even watch a Siamang brachiating across your screen.
WhaleNet -- Probably the most interesting parts of this site are the slide shows and the opportunity to ask a scientist whale questions and read an archive of earlier questions. Of course there are also lots of whale links.
Net Vet and The Electronic Zoo -- Two large indices of animal-related links, both maintained by one (very busy!) veterinarian, Dr. Ken Boschert. Their organisation is a trifle un-scientific - in the zoo there are sections for fictional animals, zoo animals and wildlife alongside more specific pages of links for cats, horses and the like - but it's still useful, whether you are a vet, an animal owner, or just looking for the sounds of the world's animals.
Psychiatry Online -- A free, internet-only peer reviewed journal, paid for by sponsorship. In addition to submitted articles it offers news, book reviews and several lists of relevant web links and psychiatric associations.
Consciousness Research Laboratory -- This Nevada research centre is examining "the frontiers of human consciousness, especially phenomena suggestive of direct mind-matter interaction and extended perceptual capabilities." It includes a Parapsychology FAQ (answers to Frequently Asked Questions), some online experiments, a newsletter and other resources. Take its contents with a grain of salt, though - the centre's conclusions are controversial.
Communication with Parrots: The Pepperberg Homepage -- Do you, like Doctor Doolittle, believe you can have a meaningful conversation with animals? It seems there is some research to back up your beliefs. Dr Irene Pepperberg has been studying an African Grey parrot and has taught it to count and communicate. This page contains extensive links to previously-published research and articles about her findings.
The American Psychological Society -- Contains lists of Psychology-related links, which will be gradually rated by other psychology users, links to some psychology experiments on the Web plus job listings, selected articles from the APS' Observer magazine and, of course, information about the society itself.
Journal of Consciousness Studies -- Imprint Academic is the website for the publisher of the Journal of Consciousness Studies and has plenty of information on Consciousness available, including research abstracts and extensive reports from the Tucson conference.
