Abstract

The article discusses insect species that live indoors. Topics include a study of the German cockroach (Blatella germanica) by entomologist Jules Silverman that found its aversion to sugar is the result of rapid evolution, the impact of pesticide use on insect evolution, the link between human settlement, farming, and indoor insects, and the insects found by Eva Panagiotakopulu at Scotland's University of Edinburgh in the home of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten's servant, Ranefer, from 1300 BC.
