Have you ever wondered whether aliens are real or not? Well, most scientists think they exist, so the question they focus on is, why have we not met any of them yet? For a universe so big, it also feels so empty. However, the fact that we are here could mean there are also others … Read more
Scientists believe that modern humans all lived in Africa before migrating to the rest of the world. If this is the environment where we evolved and thrived, then why did the early humans leave? Because around 50,000 to 70,000 years ago, fossils and DNA evidence suggest they finally ventured out of Africa after staying there … Read more
Have you ever tried playing dead to avoid mating with an unwanted mate? Well, humans can just ghost or sometimes downright ignore people, but male frogs could be aggressive, prompting their females to come up with a unique way of avoiding mating. Just imagine being a female frog in a pond filled with males during … Read more
Have you ever used your gut feelings or intuition to make a decision about a certain situation? What if that gut feeling is actually a memory of yourself from the future, signalling to you what the right choice is? It sounds like a science fiction movie plot, but it was actually a real theory from … Read more
Humans are not the only species that can communicate at a high level. Primates like bonobos and chimpanzees can use sign language with their hands. Dolphins and whales communicate by sound patterns during echolocation and social interactions. Elephants use low-frequency rumbles that are inaudible to human ears. However, research shows that our communication style is … Read more
One of the most common misconceptions about human evolution is that we evolved from apes. Not only is it wrong, but it also gave birth to more questions that are inherently misleading. Questions like ‘Why are there still monkeys around, if we evolved from them?’ The simple answer is that we have not. The current … Read more
It has been 200,000 to 300,000 years since we, Homo sapiens, existed as a species. Hominins, which include our direct early ancestors and our evolutionary relatives like Neanderthals and Denisovans, have been evolving for millions of years, long before the first modern human was born. Over all this time, we have changed a lot, but … Read more
Humans are still evolving, although the changes in our species’ bodies are not inherently noticeable to the average person. Scientists even think that we are slowly losing some body parts. Features that were once useful for our ancestors to survive in the environment they are in, but have now lost their functionality. There are many … Read more
Archaeologists recently found out that early humans had developed projectile weapons such as spears about 300,000 years ago. These were not just simply tree branches, too; instead, they are well-honed, balanced, and carefully carved for throwing and hunting at a distance. This is a discovery that shows how humans began developing their technology long before … Read more
The modern human species, Homo sapiens, has only existed for an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 years. However, hominins, which include our direct ancestors, and ancient extinct relatives like Neanderthals, have been evolving for millions of years. This idea is probably why when people think of evolution, they imagine slow, steady changes over countless years. The … Read more
