Hi everyone,
In Carl Sagan's Cosmos there's a short animation video illustrating the shape of all human ancestors, starting from single cell organisms, morphing towards the modern humans. I've searched for a complete list of known human ancestors like that one, but I couldn't find anything like...

Hello everybody,
I encountered this weird theory that I don't really believe to be valid. But it sounds pretty plausible, so I'm going to let you guys tell me whether it is correct or not.

I wondered what can be the plausibility level of enhancing human abilities not through implants, but biological modifications? My story involves Mars where the church dislike more advanced AIs, and they seek to upgrade humans. While i speculate growing up in low gravity already changes humans...

I am writing a blog post about dairy and it suddenly occurred to me to wonder at the value of human breastmilk. That is, if cow's milk is so good for us, yet is from a different species, how would we get on if we drank human milk? A search of the web turned up nothing much at all. A slew of...

Particularly how can a human leap from the water like a dolphin.
I'm guessing buoyancy and velocity are the main factors involved here, like a water polo ball pushed under will spring out no problem.
Or a whale given enough velocity.
