This is according to a team of researchers, who found that 45-year-olds with a naturally slow pace when walking have bodies that exhibit signs of accelerated aging.

Talking to plants is neither an uncommon habit among gardeners and plant enthusiasts, nor is it a modern notion.

The bigger your brain, the better your cognitive performance: Study
For decades, scientists have been trying to answer the age-old question of whether or not the size of the human brain correlates with cognitive performance. In a recent study — the largest of its kind — researchers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) finally found empirical evidence suggesting that brain volume is positively associated […]

A nose for numbers: Elephants can “count” food using their sense of smell, study says
When it comes to function, elephant trunks are the Swiss army knives of the natural world. Bristling with over 150,000 individual muscle units, an elephant’s trunk is used for a wide variety of activities: sucking up water for drinking, blowing out dust for baths, picking up objects, sending out warnings and even using them to greet […]

Innate intelligence: Scientists theorize that the origins of human technology occurred spontaneously
Much has been said about the intelligence of chimpanzees: they can be taught to “speak” in sign language, some have exhibited incredible creativity and artistry, and some have even been observed to grieve and mourn the deaths of friends and family.

Thinking, feeling insects? Study reveals paper wasps are capable of a form of logical (deductive) reasoning
The paper wasp has become the first invertebrate animal that proves capable of transitive inference – the same form of logical reasoning that humans and other, more complex animals use for deduction. Transitive inference leverages known links to reason out unknown relationships. An animal capable of such logic knows that if A is greater than […]

Advanced communication? Spider monkeys adjust their “whinnies” to regain contact with their group
At least one species of monkey seems to understand that low-frequency sounds travel much further than high-pitched ones. Whenever a Geoffroy’s spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) gets separated from its group, the animal deliberately reduces the pitch of its calls. By lowering the frequency of its voice, the isolated monkey makes itself heard over greater distances. […]

The great 17th century French tragedian Peter Corneille once said that elephants are like people, only more so. Well, a new Finnish study proved that Asian elephants developed personalities and social needs in much the same way that humans do, reported a ScienceDaily article. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Turku in Finland. They investigated a […]
