Missing link in human evolution

Human Nature

Last Updated on 10 August 2010 Written by InfoWeb 20 May 2009


Scientists have discovered a 47-million-year-old fossil which could provide the missing link between animals and humans.

The skeleton was discovered 26 years ago in Germany and lost in museums, until a paleontologist realized that it could be the missing link in human evolution chain.

Methane May Point to Life on Mars

Discovery of the gas raises the specter of Martian life

If you roll out of bed and see the headline "Life on Mars," is it because: a) it's a hoax, b) NASA got lucky, c) scientific genius won out, or d) it is written in a British tabloid?

The British Sun received a slap on the wrist from the journal Science, but news sites buzzed cautiously over a new NASA study about methane gas detected on Mars in 2003. Methane plumes traced to three specific regions could signal active geological processes—or possibly even gas-emitting microbes, said scientists during yesterday's press conference.

Is God created by our brains?

Human Nature

Last Updated on 01 May 2009 Written by InfoWeb 05 February 2009


The idea of a god or goddess, no matter how old, has always been responsible for a single thing, namely bringing people together, especially in times of need. Religion may have very well played a part in the aggregation of the first human societies, when people were much more exposed to the whims of nature than they are today. At this point, the main religions of the world are fairly elaborate, and have tens and hundreds of millions of followers worldwide. But, in the old days, such “complex” gods were not yet invented, and people only believed in the natural forces they saw, as in the Sun, the wind and the Earth itself.

NASA Image Of The Day
A Chameleon Sky
The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
