Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
There were no humans on Earth when dinosaurs lived, so there are no written records or illustrations of how they behaved or what they looked like. All we have are: Bone and egg fossils Collections of footprints called trackways Our knowledge of living animals Dinosaur Facts Modern lizards, li...
Of all the strong emotions humans show, jealousy is one of the most unsettling. It tends to bring out the worst in us, even though most of us know better. It's an age-old problem, having been recorded since biblical times, and no doubt experienced even before that. And it's not lim...
This Monday-morning quarterbacking neglects some basic facts about humans: You Can’t Control Other People We surely have influence over our children, but we do not mold them like clay. When they don’t turn out the way we planned, we neglect this fundamental truth. The Power of Letting ...
This contrasts with autosomes, in which a recombination event occurs during the formation of germ cells (in a single generation) that can break gene assemblies that are physically linked. Here we discuss how the intricacies of the meiotic programme have shaped the evolution of differentiated ...
important. Some say that the positive relaxation effects of being outside relate primarily to the increased body movement, which is more likely to occur if an individual is outside; others suggest that bodies relax in more natural surroundings as this is the setting from which humans ...
In terms of our major messages, we wish to really emphasise that puppies are not adult dogs—they are not fully developed physically or psychologically, and we humans need to accept them as such. They are still under construction and need time to develop at a natural spe...
Extensive libraries of nanoparticles-that can be used for the delivery of natural bioactive compounds to a certain target-have been studied. These different nanoparticles can be designed, prepared in different shapes, sizes, compositions, functionalized and modified chemically/physically to suite specific...
Complex organisms, like plants and animals, have 50,000 to 100,000 genes on many different chromosomes (most humans have46 chromosomes). In the cells of these organisms, the DNA is twisted around bead-like proteins calledhistones. The histones are also coiled tightly to form chromosomes, which...
Other NDE theories are a bit more esoteric. Some believe that an NDE represents a psychic connection to higher-level intelligent beings from another dimension. These beings may be humans who have evolved their souls beyond the birth-death-reincarnation cycle, thus offering a glimpse of humanity's...
