Evolutionary Puzzle Solved
An unknown matter within evolutionary biology (one of the “gaps” if you will), the question of why insects that are poor mimics of more dangerous creatures still avoid getting eaten despite their poor mimicry has been answered.
It was answered by a group of Canadian scientists. Please click here for the full story from the BBC…
…oh and ***SPOILER ALERT*** – God done it is NOT the answer!
Confirmed: All Non-Africans Part Neanderthal
It has been confirmed from a build up of evidence that a section of the human X chromosome derives from interbreeding with Neanderthals.
Why Is There Only One Human Species?
Not so very long ago, we shared this planet with several other species of human, all of them clever, resourceful and excellent hunters, so why did only Homo sapiens survive?

Large Brains Evolved Because of Smells
An interesting article on the BBC Nature site.
Some evidence has been revealed that the larger mammalian brain evolved as a result of the development of the sense of smell.
… yet more evidence for evolution and the eventual development of our own brains!
Heaven is a “Fairy Story”
World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has confirmed that which we all knew, Heaven is a “fairy story”, for those who are afraid of the dark!
I could have told you that and I don’t even have a PhD!
…but I always said that chap was intelligent!
Humans Evolved From Fish
One of my favourite comebacks that I read on a blog recently was when an atheistic scientist was talking to a creationist and the creationist stated “I don’t come from no monkey (sic)!” the scientist said, “Actually I’m going further back and showing you that you are descended from a fish!”
…and then I found this on the BBC Health News site!
Pope Tries Science – Fail!
The Pope has tried his hand at evolutionary biology and failed miserably!
According to him Humanity is not a product of evolution…which is random…
Firstly we ARE undoubtably the product of evolution, the random mutation of genetic material and it’s non-random survival of the resulting phenotypes.
Maybe he should stick to what he is good at, hiding paedophile priests justified by divine authority to protect his own power?
How Man Lost His Penile Spines
A new article in Nature outlines that Human males “lost” certain genes, as part of his evolution, which lead to larger brains and also “lost” spines from his penis which are still present on many other mammals.
More evidence for our evolution…it just keeps on coming!
A New Fifth Element…?
Is the daffodil’s trumpet a newly evolved flower part?
More clues and evidence for evolution, but far more pretty!
