Robots are cool and all, but have you tried shooting squishy humans into space so that they can use their eyeballs to appreciate the features on the surface of the Moon with more nuance??

It looks like we’re living too long, consuming too much and procreating too frequently for the benefit of the planet, according to a new study. Researchers out of Flinders University in Australia have found that humanity is living well beyond the bounds of what Earth can support long-term. One example: water bankruptcy.

Earth's Population Has Surpassed The Planet's Capacity, Study Suggests

The human population has already grown too large and demanding for Earth to sustainably support at current consumption levels, a new study warns.

@infobeautiful A hangover basically is your body telling you not to poison it with obscene amounts of alcohol. Using a "hangover cure" instead of just listening to what your body tells you is telling your body do just go f*ck itself.

#Mosquitoes began biting #humans more than a million years ago
They used #genetic data to reconstruct evolutionary history from mutation rates in their #genes. Researchers estimate when mosquitoes first bit humans and where — a submerged landmass called Sundaland, now Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Java. Leucosphyrus group was the first to adapt to bite humans, while other types of mosquitoes acquired preference only in the last 10,000 years

Mosquitoes began biting humans more than a million years ago

A DNA analysis suggests mosquitoes shifted from nonhuman primates to early humans nearly 2 million years ago.

Neanderthals Used Ancient Gloop as Antibacterial Medicine, Study Suggests

Relatives of modern humans may have created and used a sticky substance both as a glue and to treat their wounds, preempting modern medicine by as much as 200,000 years, a new study suggests.

"Most striking of all, we found the oldest #evidence for the group to which we #humans belong: the deuterostomes. Several of these specimens have a stalk & tentacles, & closely resemble a group of #Cambrian #fossils called cambroernids. These now-extinct #animals are related to living starfish & acorn worms - the closest #invertebrate relatives to humans." See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterostome.
Humans’ closest invertebrate ancestors date back much further than thought – how we discovered the fossils that show this

Did Earth’s major diversification event really happen in one sudden explosion? Our fossil discovery suggests not.
