“It’s absolutely fascinating to see Darwinian principles at work here. This community of people has developed their own biologically unique response to a truly terrible epidemic. The fact that this genetic evolution has happened in a matter of decades is remarkable.” Professor John Collinge, Director of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Prion Unit A community […]

This is not the early expectation built on

Less than 20 years after confirming the first planet beyond our own solar system, astronomers have sighted exoplanet No. 500, all of which are less massive than Jupiter -ranging between 15 and 50 percent of Jupiter’s mass– and the planets’ distances from Earth range from 58 light-years to 196 light-years. The 500th find comes less

“At first, evolution proceeded by natural selection, from random mutations. This Darwinian phase, lasted about three and a half billion years, and produced us, beings who developed language, to exchange information,” according to Stephen Hawking, our planet’s preeminent physicist. But what distinguishes us from our cave man ancestors is the knowledge that we have accumulated
