Koshik is an Asian elephant who can speak Korean. According to his keepers, the words he speaks can easily be understood by people who are fluent in Korean. The method which the elephant uses to produce the sound is quite strange: he sticks his trunk in his mouth in order to produce the necessary noises. […]

Explaining this is a bit tricky and you may think that we mean the opposite of what we are saying, but we assure you that there is nothing wrong with the following statement. The sun is farthest from Earth in July and closest in January. It is true that the temperature on Earth depends on […]

This is one of the most common questions people ask – why do finger and toe skin wrinkle, but other parts of our body don’t? The reason for this is that our skin is the thickest near the top of fingers and tops. A big fraction of the thick skin is created by dead keratin […]

The theory of evolution is incredibly important in the biological sciences. In fact, without evolutionary theory the whole concept of biology would not make sense to serious scientists. The evolutionary theory in biology looks at how species have evolved overtime, and the biological changes they have undergone in order to get to that point. In […]

As I am sure you are aware, the theory of evolution is the adaption of species to a particular environment by means of natural selection in order to allow them to ‘thrive’, ‘survival of the fittest’ if you will. Despite being a fairly new scientific theory (in comparison to a lot scientific theories) it actually […]

One of the reasons why the church was against Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by means of natural selection all those years ago was it seemed to go against the idea of intelligent design or to put simply, that a God exists who created everything. However, this doesn’t need to be the case. Evolution and […]

The Human Evolutionary Tree is probably one of the best ways to establish the link between humans and related species which existed in the past. I have tried to make this tree as comprehensive as possible, and yet basic enough for almost anybody to understand. You need to remember that a human evolution tree can […]

The idea of human evolution is the one thing that is going to concern us the most, after all, we are humans and it would be nice to know where we came from, and how we got there. Thankfully, science has gone some way towards explaining the human evolution theory, so let’s take a little […]

Evolution is one of the main theories that we use to establish how this world works, and how species have come to evolve. In fact, there are plenty of pieces of evidence which point towards the fact that evolution is a proven theory, and this seems to be the idea that is held by the […]

Evolution is a fascinating process, and it really helps us understand the living world that surrounds us. We can see evolution in action almost anywhere that we look today, in fact, there is a good chance that you are evolving at this very minute, or at least carrying random DNA mutations which can be passed […]
