Tiny mutation led to our ability to speak
11 Nov 09 – “Two minute changes in a gene that is otherwise identical in humans and chimps could explain why we have full-fledged power of speech while other primates can only grunt or screech,” says this article on Yahoo. … Continue reading
Explosions in the sky – magnetic reconnection
Electrostatic fields may trigger evolution
Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have found that the calmodulin protein molecule possesses an internal “jitter” that shakes it billions of times per second.”
Did a Giant Comet Kill the Mammoths?
1 Apr 10 — “Some 13,000 years ago the Earth was struck by thousands of Tunguska-sized cometary fragments over the course of an hour, leading to a dramatic cooling,”
Magnetic Reversals – Number 3 on list of potential Armageddons
“The problem is not the poles flipping, but that the Earth’s magnetic field draws down solar radiation around its poles,” explains sci-fi author Walter Jon Williams. “So if one of the poles parks itself over, say, Chicago, a lot of … Continue reading
