The human ear is an amazing device. In a recent press release, an MIT engineer said that the ear is “like a super radio with 3,500 parallel channels.”¹ In fact, its design inspired the development of a new space and energy-saving radio receiver chip.

Portions of a primate’s fossilized face and jaw were recovered near Barcelona in 2004.

UK researchers believe they may have “broken new ground” in the ongoing quest to find out how living cells first evolved.

Researchers used to think that no plant could process mammalian genes because the required machinery is “proprietary,” or unique to the kind.

Despite “decades of persistent failure to create life by the ‘spark in the soup’ method,”¹ evolutionary biochemists are still trying to find an exclusively naturalistic explanation for how the first cell developed. Many possible chemical precursors to life have been systematically ruled out by rigorous experiments.
