Are Humans Really Naturally Murderous Killers? Recent Study Suggests
First Posted: Sep 30, 2016 05:52 AM EDT Humans may think that we are at a higher plane compared to other animals, but it seems that in the end, we are still animals - with the added asset of being murderous. As noted by the National Geographic, the first humans were expected to be as violent as they could be based on their ancestors. The scientists who pored through examples of lethal violence within a species, found that despite the ghastly activity of over four million deaths recorded in ov..>> view originalGoodbye, Rosetta!

(Daniel Reinhardt/European Pressphoto Agency) Ape shall never kill ape. The primate society in the 1973 film “Battle for the Planet of the Apes,” the fifth installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise, was governed by this central rule.

We hate to rock Dr. Zaius‘s world, but that rule does not exist in real-life mammal societies, ei..>> view originalCuriosity finds evidence of Mars crust contributing to atmosphere

On Tuesday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced his ambitious — if crazy — plan to colonize Mars within the next 40 to 100 years. But Musk isn’t the only one with Mars dreams and ambitions. In fact, people have been drawing out missions to the Red Planet for at least the last 70 years — and we’re still waiting for one to take flight. How do the most prominent plans stack up? One of the early proposed missions that set the stage for today’s Mars plans was the Mars Direct proposal, which was published..>> view originalHow a strange Triassic reptile could change what an arm looks like
Most forearms look the same.

And this weird reptile could change scientists' ideas of what a forelimb can look like."Across a..>> view originalReykjavik turns off street lights to optimize Northern Light views
