The writer of a new book about life on Earth seen through the prism of the egg says the age-old paradox actually leads us back a billion years a to the bottom of the ocean

The chicken or the egg? Sometimes, as a zoology author, I am asked this question by the kid at the front with the raised hand and large questioning eyes. Sometimes itas the older guy at the back with a glint in his eye. Sometimes itas a student who approaches the lectern at the end of a lecture while everyone else files out. The same mischievous eyes, the same wry smile. aSo which came first?a they ask, beaming, unaware that this is not the first time I have been asked.

I hadnat foreseen, years ago, when I began exploring the evolution of the animal egg and the role it has played in the long history of life on this planet, that it would become pretty much the only question I would be asked. I spent years reframing the evolution of life on Earth as a story told from the eggas perspective, tracing this strange vesselas adaptation to land, its movement across continents, the evolution of the umbilical cord, the evolution of the placenta, menstruation, menopausea| but even now, having finally turned this journey into a book, I expect that a great deal of my dialogue with readers will be chicken-based.

Legacy can be found in the lives you touch and your impact on others

The question I am a 54-year-old woman with a good career and a stable marriage. I live across the globe from my parents, my siblings and their kids and I am child-free. I have reduced contact with them to brief and polite birthday and Christmas messages, which they respond to, but we have no relationship or ongoing contact as such. It is close to estrangement, and I have no desire to try to repair this. I am child-free because I always feared repeating my familyas parenting style and had no sense of my childhood as a positive experience.

I have become preoccupied with the idea of a legacy of a life well lived. I have always placed high value on social contribution and working hard. But, as I increasingly ponder the likelihood of dying alone and without children, I have started to become quite critical about the point of striving in my career, and how and what I should be doing with my time. I feel abeing forgottena is a realistic proposition a and it leads me to wonder whether this is liberating, and I can stop striving, do as I please, or should I strive harder and find a way of leaving my mark, ensuring I have a life that will mean something? Is this just an indulgent existential crisis? Do I need to just get over myself?

The troubled child actor turned chatshow host faces flak for her toe-curling interview with Kamala Harris. But oversharing is all part of her shtick

An office-style desk was once the key prop on a television chatshow a a standard piece of kit beloved of Johnny Carson and David Letterman, not to mention Britainas Jonathan Ross. Then the comfy sofa took over and guests began to scooch along, making room for each other. Now, though, under the auspices of Drew Barrymore, host of a daytime show on CBS, itas the lowly rug that is taking centre stage.

Barrymore, who is still best known internationally for her childhood role as the little girl in ET, likes to interact with her guests on a fluffy rug in the middle of her set in New Yorkas Broadcast Center. She has prostrated herself upon it more than once in front of her studio audience and prefers it to the showas pink satin armchairs.

The US academic on why the Mr Burns caricature of rich people is wrong, the double-edged sword of godlike technologies, and why young people shouldnat follow their passion

Scott Galloway is an American professor of marketing at New York University Stern school of Business. He has founded and sold several tech firms, and served on the board of directors of companies such as the New York Times and Urban Outfitters. With tech journalist Kara Swisher he co-hosts the hugely popular tech and business podcast Pivot.

You spend a lot of time with wealthy and successful people. Do they have any common habits?
Well, the most common attribute Iave registered is they were born at the right place at the right time. What Iave found is that the majority of peopleas success is not their fault. And I think something that plagues people, especially tech bros, is they conflate luck with talent. But across those who excel, the thing I have found is that if you want to be successful, you need to collect allies along the way. Thereas this cartoon of Monty Burns in The Simpsons, the guy who owns the power plant, who has no friends, who lights cigars with a hundred dollar bill. But what I have found is that really wealthy people are constantly put in rooms of opportunities, because from a young age theyave acquired allies.

With a famed pie maker on board, the new aBritish brasseriea in Paris ought to be glorious. Instead, itas a huge disappointment

Public House, 21 rue Daunou, 75002 Paris, France (+33 1 77 37 87 93; publichouseparis.fr). Starters a!8.50-a!19.50; mains a!19.50-a!36.50; desserts a!9-a!15; wines from a!28

It was a simple plan: hop on the Eurostar to Paris and go for dinner at Public House, a new and audacious restaurant in the 9th arrondissement by pie king Calum Franklin, formerly of the Holborn Dining Room. Its mission: to bring scotch eggs, sausage rolls and the best, most golden, flaky pastry creations to the French. I could then write a sweet observational piece about the bourgeoisie of the Louboutin-shod opera district swooning over steak and ale pies, and adjusting both their corsets and their gastronomic perspective. Behold, the gravy-slicked anglais showing us how to eat. aDonney-moi une autre piea etc. Because if anybody could do it, if anybody could finally make the French understand the quality and depth of modern British restaurant food, it had to be Franklin. Heas a gifted chef. Heas a lovely man. He literally wrote the book on pies. Go Calum, go.

Russian forces are advancing in the countryas eastern regions, but the recent arrival of US arms could help turn the tide

It was a perfect May evening. Daria Karpinska and her friends sat in the corner of a five-a-side pitch and played cards. Nearby was their school. Swifts had returned to their village of Hrodivka and screeched in a sunny blue sky.

Suddenly, a loud whoosh-whoosh noise interrupted the teenagersa game of afoola: the sound of a Grad missile. Seconds later came the boom of artillery. aItas louder today than yesterday,a said 14-year-old Karpinska matter-of-factly.

Many say the bill would help survivors be heard, broadening the range of people able to petition to see their sentence reviewed

In 1995, on the day before Kelly Savage-Rodriguez planned to flee her abusive husband, she ran some final errands while her children, ages three and one, napped. She hoped to take them on the early morning Amtrak from Porterville, California, to Los Angeles and stay with her brother, but when she returned, she said, she found that her husband had beaten and killed her three-year-old son, Justin. She called 911. The police arrested her along with her husband.

Savage-Rodriguez was jailed as she awaited trial, and said her lawyer did not have training in advocating for clients who suffered domestic violence. The judge used her history of abuse against her, she said, and said she was equally at fault for her sonas death under Californiaas afailure to protecta charges that can criminalize the non-abusive parent in a domestic violence case because she had not fled. She was later convicted and sentenced to life without parole, same as her abuser.

Please, listen to us a not political figures, radical fringes and misguided media

On Tuesday night, we watched in horror as hundreds of riot police flooded our beloved campus and brutalized our classmates. The next day, students awoke with swollen faces, bruised wrists and lacerations a all results of inhumane police treatment. The past two weeks have been tumultuous, marked with mass arrests of student demonstrators, an encampment on our lawns, national media attention and vile acts of hatred. Countless have spoken on our behalf. But by speaking over us, media outlets and politicians have created a distorted narrative a one which unfairly characterizes our community.

Now, it is time to elevate student perspectives, the ausa, rather than the athema. The traumatic environment and militarization of our campus are not the sole product of ill-intended protesters or reckless non-affiliates, as claimed by administrative emails; rather, they are the fault of the senior administration themselves. For months, this crisis has brewed as administrators neglected student and faculty voices. We must be clear: the administration has put our studentsa safety at risk and has failed to ensure a conducive learning environment. As student leaders, it is time for our voice to be heard.

Teaching an undergraduate class on democracy at Princeton Universityas School of Public and International Affairs this semester has felt urgent and clarifying. In the classroom, weave been looking at backsliding and the slow corrosion of democratic norms in so-called democratic countries. Meanwhile, whatas been happening outside the classroom in more than 120 universities around the US and the world tells us a more ominous story about democracy.

For two weeks, we focused on the United States; there were lively discussions on political polarization, January 6 and the threat posed by supporters of Donald Trump, as well as how robust or fragile US democracy currently is. Looking at each democracy involved criticism of the state. In the class on Israel, we examined, among other areas, controversial proposed judicial reforms, as well as the incarceration of Palestinian minors held in administrative detention, as examples where democratic values might be defined as absent.
