Comments OffOur technology… a million years from now
July 12th, 2009 admin Christopher Locke opened his Modern Fossils Shop with many more peculiar specimens. The modern Fossils are made from actual archaic technology that was once cutting–edge. Most of these examples were discovered in the United States, although the various species are represented all over the world. In a special process, these items are reproduced in a proprietary blend of concrete and other secret ingredients, giving them the look and feel of real stone fossils. It is sad, but most of these units lived very short lives.

February 26th, 2009 admin From Live Science:Everyone has experienced anger at one point in their lives and some of us — males mostly, going by statistics — have channeled that anger into violence, perhaps by throwing a punch during a hockey game or after too many beers at the bar.Then there’s aggression on a much more sinister scale, in the form of murder, wars and genocide. Trying to understand what fuels the different levels of human aggression, from fisticuffs to nation-on-nation battle, has long preoccupied human biologists.Read more ….

February 24th, 2009 admin Image from Esther’s SpaceFrom Live Science:The Internet is no doubt changing modern society. It has profoundly altered how we gather information, consume news, carry out war, and create and foster social bonds. But is it altering our brains? A growing number of scientists think so, and studies are providing data to show it.What remains to be seen is whether the changes are good or bad, and whether the brain is, as one neuroscientist believes, undergoing unprecedented evolution.Read more ….My Comment: I do not know about my brain …. but my hands suffer from carpel syndrome.

February 24th, 2009 admin From Live Science:Diamonds may be forever, but that’s not true of most minerals. In fact, about two-thirds of the 4,300 known minerals on Earth today owe their existence to biological processes, and thus evolved fairly recently in geological terms. So says Robert M. Hazen of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., who with seven colleagues identified three phases of mineral evolution.The first phase began more than 4.55 billion years ago, as the solar system started developing.

February 14th, 2009 admin From Live Science:True love is all about finding that one certain someone, and anthropologists have led us to believe that the quest for the perfect mate is evolutionarily based. Humans are, the researchers contend, a naturally pair-boded species.The standard scenario goes like this: Human babies are born about three months too soon because upright walking changed the female pelvis and babies have to get out before their heads grow too big.

December 28th, 2008 admin According to 3GAmeircas, as of December 2008, there are currently 4 billion cell phones in use around the world, or 60% of the population. When I first heard these numbers I was a bit surprised by the numbers because I thought it would be higher.
