  Harry Lionel Shapiro, March 19, 1902—January 7, 1990 | By Frank Spencer | Biographical Memoirs
Shapiro's analysis of these data provided a striking and influential example of marked differences in a range of physical characteristics which he persuasively argued were unquestionably due to complex environmental influences.
Shapiro was periodically consulted on problematic cases, and between the autumn of 1946 and 1948 he was a frequent visitor to the Brooklyn Naval Yard where he was called on to examine and identify skeletal material that had been shipped from Europe for repatriation and reburial.
Shapiro was a founding member of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in 1930 (AAPA) and between 1935 and 1939 served a term as its secretary and subsequently as vice-president (1941-42).

 CCC - Terrorism Financing Conference Report
Shapiro explained there is a natural adverse selection process with opportunities to participate in a dangerous and risky adventure drawing those most committed to participate in risky causes, and the result is along the trajectory of a terrorist's career progression one would expect commitment to shrink in the middle ranks.
Shapiro clarified, I am not insisting we make communal punishment, just that we make it known that we know these ties are there, adding that the Israelis have really infiltrated communities where trust is problematic, and as a result the cohesion of those groups has broken apart.
Shapiro noted Comras had started off his talk by noting one of reasons for the growth in activity has been increased funding to fundamentalist groups—yet not all such groups engage in jihadi behavior, and observed that even Hezbollah has modulated its level of violence over the years, and is more like a political party now.

 Brainstorms: Bacterial Colonies and Intelligent Design
Shapiro envisions evolution as the deployment of this "natural genetic engineering" toolkit that functions to redesign the system architecture of the genome and thus facilitate rather significant and rapid evolutionary transitions.
Ben Jacob shows how the bacterial genome is "interpreting and assigning meaning" to its computations using "an advanced language with self-reference to sentences and grammar," and by possessing "information about the past and present abilities of the system, which it can apply when searching for a solution to a current" dilemma.
Shapiro's views don't just amount to a important functional role for "junk DNA" and the growing irrelevance of the Modern Synthesis, but they also hold great potential for a very positive fruition of a robust teleological interpretation of life's history.

 FT June/July 2001: Rabbi Weinberg’s Agony   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Shapiro has now come forward with a full—scale study of the life and writings of Jehiel Weinberg—Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy—that goes a long way toward clearing up the mystery surrounding the man. Shapiro’s signal contribution is to present Weinberg in the round: both the public and the private figure.
Shapiro properly observes that Weinberg, time and again in his life, “found himself pulled in opposite directions.” This certainly applies to his youth in Eastern Europe, in the course of which Weinberg dreamed of obtaining a secular education even as he was immersed in advanced Talmud study.
Shapiro does a fine job of tracing Weinberg’s evolving position on this matter, from firm opposition during his years in Eastern Europe, to qualified support during his early German period, to wholesale endorsement during his years at the Berlin Rabbinical Seminary and thereafter.
