Do Species Evolve from Other Species?Richard Aberdeen
Another misunderstanding, again coming from the usage of the word evolution in the social sciences, is that evolution implies some driving force. But, in the currently standard biological interpretation, the contrary is true. Biological change is emphatically not considered to be driven by a particul...
However, this scenario holds true only if individuals are predominantly surrounded by their relatives. Otherwise, during sexual reproduction, the non-aging individuals “steal” the better (that is better suited for changed environment) genes from the members of the aging population, and therefore the...
“For giving birth, it would be much easier to have a uniformly shaped birth canal also in ourspecies,” says Katya Stansfield, a specialist in biomechanics. Instead, the twisted human shape requires a complex, rotational birth mechanism: The baby needs to rotate to align the longest dimensio...
Wait…What If Dark Energy Doesn’t Exist? Astronomers Spot Perplexing Sideways Black Hole Scientists Could Solve the Information Paradox Scientists Say They Know How to Find Dyson Rings Could Fusion Energy Also Help Us Find Alien Life? There’s Still Unknown Physics in Our Universe ...
In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in hos
did not evolve recently, but has roots that are millions of years older than the oldest dinosaurs. And that ancient common ancestor likely had already developed remarkable speed in both vision and flight. Then, in the following years, the system has evolved to suit individual insect species. ...
Recent long-wavelength observations of γ-ray burst sources are considered with the idea that γ-ray bursts originate near the surface of isolated neutron stars surrounded by cold, degenerate disks. The author proposes that these systems may result from dynamical mass transfer in close neutron star...
Nowwe can clearly see the parallels being made between the cannibalism in the opening scene, not only the literal licking of a putrid pancreas, but the cannibalism of one human being’s organs for another human being’s survival, be that human being an aging starlet or a nameless patient in...
Another quick photo post from the road. The Tate Museum has a quality in common with theOxford Museum of Natural History, where the guiding philosophy seems to have been, “Let’s put one of every interesting thing in the world in one big room.” Tucked into a corner is this small asse...
