The discovery of the Denisovans 15 years ago set off a chain of evolutionary research into how they contributed to modern East Asians and Oceanians. A new study adds evidence. Researchers have confirmed that a nearly complete hominin skull from 146,000 years ago that was discovered near Harbin belongs to the Denisovan>
Cooperation is seen in every corner of life from microbes to humans, many times with no obvious advantages to those that provide it at high costs.

A group of researchers are contending obese kids may not be the result of lax parenting or a junk-food culture; obesity may have an infectious origin, according to a cross-sectional study by University of California, San Diego School of Medicine researchers who correlate children exposed to a particular strain of>
Human evolution and culture have been shaped by our increasing ability to communicate. A new review from China believes that brain-computer interfaces mark the next leap: a direct connection between mind and machine. They note breakthroughs in neural signal decoding, AI, and bioengineering but what should really worry>
2026 - The Democrats sweep the midterms, picking up 305 seats in the House and 35 seats in the Senate (bringing them to 77). (It ain't likely to happen, but this is my dream, ok?) Every state...
The article is just clearly worse than AI, even weak AI now. You can easily look up that pre-diabetes is a thing. Even if you didn't, then how would you expect type 2 to start? Unlike type 1...
As usual, Hank, you are simply wrong. Prediabetes was well-known in the medical field long before Obama became president: Colwell, John A., and Allen Lein. "Diminished insulin response to...
