Theory of mind: Fascinating study suggests great apes can understand each others’ mental states, just like humans
A recent study published in the journal PNAS suggests that apes can understand each other’s mental states, such as desires, beliefs and false beliefs about reality. This ability, called the theory of mind, was once thought to be unique to humans. It’s described as a cognitive skill that allowed a person to decipher what others think or feel based on […]

BLM goes after Charles Darwin, says relics of evolution are “racist”
If you believe in the Theory of Evolution as put forth by the late Charles Darwin, then you are a “racist” who needs to be “decolonized.” This is the position of Great Britain’s Natural History Museum, which recently launched a review aiming to stamp out “offensive” and “problematic” collections specifically associated with Darwin and his […]

Researchers discover scorpion toxin that targets the “wasabi receptor,” could be used to make non-opioid pain relievers
A study published in the journal Cell found that a scorpion toxin triggering a pain response in humans can be used for studying chronic pain and inflammation. The toxin, called the “wasabi receptor toxin,” comes from the Australian Black Rock scorpion and evolved out of the need to ward off mammalian predators, said researchers from the University of […]

The study, which was published in the journal Nature Communications, studies more than 170 species from the Poeciliidae family of freshwater fish, the most famous of which […]

Ancient reptilian vegetarians: Scientists discover fossilized teeth of extinct crocs that dined on plants
Modern crocodiles are known as apex predators – and rightly so. While these fearsome reptiles don’t primarily hunt people, estimates indicate that crocodiles kill about 1,000 humans per year. They kill more people per year than other fearsome animals like sharks and hippopotamuses. However, recent research shows that the crocodile’s ancient relatives, which lived around […]

Experts say your face is designed for better gesturing and non-verbal communication
Humans wordlessly communicate with others by moving their eyebrows and other facial features in unique ways. A study suggests that the heavy use of non-verbal communication might have influenced the evolution of human faces to grow softer and more malleable over time. The softer the face, the easier it is to move its features in […]

Say “Cheese,” Fido: Can scientific data prove that dogs “smile” at their owners?
When your dog looks up at you with its mouth open wide and its lips pulled up at the corners, is it really smiling at you? Despite humans having over 30,000 years of history with dogs, the answer is still unclear. But researchers believe they are getting close to finding the answer. A group of neuroscientists from the University of […]

Ape-like fossil NOT a direct ancestor: Paleontologists challenge claims that two-million-year-old ape-like fossil belongs to human lineage
In its opening verse, the Bible makes a simple but profound claim: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Those who challenge that claim and insist that we got here not through creation but by evolution have been claiming for decades that we descended from ape-like ancestors. Proponents of the evolution theory […]

Researchers discover “beautiful nightmare” crab with giant eyes and the shell of a lobster
Imagine a crab with a lobster’s carapace, a shrimp’s mouth, and bulging eyes, plus the ability to swim. This stuff of seafood dreams and Lovecraftian nightmares is called the chimera crab, and it prowled the seas of the ancient Earth. Its discoverers dubbed it Callichimaera perplexa, “perplexing beautiful chimera” in Latin. The name came from the chimera […]

Mammals started developing arms way before the dinosaurs, study reveals
The ancestors of modern mammals may have developed their unique forelimbs long before the first dinosaurs walked on this planet. This is according to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers from The Field Museum of Natural History found evidence that early mammals evolved to have different forelimbs […]
