Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper argues that living beings are too exquisitely complex to have arisen by mindless, purposeless forces of nature, expressing this argument in mathematical terms. In the paper, researchers Steinar Thorvaldsen of The Arctic […]

This is according to new research by a group of psychologists from Georgia State University, who conducted a test that pitted the cognitive flexibility of humans against those of monkeys. The test, as described in the journal Scientific Reports, involved 56 humans and 29 monkeys, […]

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 […]

Human hearts evolved for endurance due to shift from hunting to farming and a modern lifestyle
Hearts evolved to make humans better at endurance tasks, a new study has found. According to research conducted by scientists from Canada, the U.K. and the U.S., this change — which started around the time people shifted from being hunter-gatherers to being farmers — enabled humans to become more efficient at maintaining their energy levels over […]

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 […]

Fascinating biology: Here’s why certain animals have DOZENS of bones in their skulls
Contrary to what most people might think, the human skull — the bone structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain — is actually composed of many bones rather than one — 22 bones, to be precise. These bones, which are connected together by fibrous structures known as “cranial sutures,” harden and fuse together […]

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 […]

A glimpse of the past: Photographer “reanimates” dinosaur skeletons through photographs
They may have died out 66 million years ago, but thanks to a photographer’s new series, dinosaurs such as the fearsome predator Tyrannosaurus rex and the imposing behemoth Triceratops are coming back to life. “I sought to really bring these animals to life,” Christian Voigt said about his project, which he has dubbed “Evolution.” According to Voigt, the project all […]

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 […]
