What is life? An unconventional paper just published in the journal Organisms, is a minimally-edited (largely verbatim) transcript of an email chain among leading thinkers, containing numerous clarifications, disagreements, and challenges that enrich the topic of What is Life?
There may be 'selfish genes' that bias conception in their favor, e.g., by killing gametes that bear their competing homologous chromosomes. A new preprint of a human pedigree describes a family that preferentially produced male offspring at a 2:1 ratio, supporting that theory:
Urine of chimps contains a metabolic byproduct of alcohol, that proves they ingest significant quantities of ethanol in their diet, likely from fermenting fruits. As descendants of fruit-eating apes, humans likely evolved the same fondness for alcohol.
In terms of the brain, adolescence may last until age 32, adulthood to 66, early ageing to 83 & late ageing 83 onwards. Some people will reach these landmarks earlier or later than others – but the researchers said it was striking how clearly these ages stood out in the data.
People with an extraordinary ability to recognize faces look at more areas. Now researchers have used AI to reveal how this approach aids their prowess. “They pick regions that carry more identity clues, so each ‘pixel’ they choose is more valuable for recognizing a face.”
The face of the oldest known human, from the Jebel Irhoud remains, named from the site in Morocco. The discovery changed our understanding of history. Now his face can be seen for the first time in 300,000 years.
The dark trend of buying and selling human remains has grown into a multimillion-pound industry, with social media platforms serving as a marketplace for dealers in human bones, skulls, fetuses, and skin. itv.com/news/2025-08-2…
Childhood trauma is associated with a range of psychopathologies, and also with how young people regulate their emotions. Link below:
New discovery in a cave on Guam gives the first clear evidence of ancient rice in the Pacific Islands, rice that was brought across 2,300km of Pacific Ocean from the Philippines. Link below:
Why are our teeth so very sensitive? Because teeth evolved from sense organs on the armored surface of ancient organisms. Fascinating new research on evolution.
Character.ai and other bots such as Chat GPT, based AI on "large language models" predict and generate human-like text and interactions. Many are now using them as psychotherapists. bbc.com/news/articles/…
