Crappy Artifacts
Coprolite: a piece of fossilized dung Of all the data used by scientists who study the past, coprolites are by far the crappiest. They also happen to be my favorite. Archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, and paleontologists all use these natural time capsules in their investigations. At first glance, coprolites may seem a miniscule artifact. They tell us what the creator of that deposit was eating. Ok. We can assume that information from context clues, like what plants were native to a certain area at a certain point in time. But the specific diets of dinosaurs, pre-human and early human ancestors, and genetically modern humans continue to surprise and delight the people who study each of those groups as well as everyday people.

Neanderthal
It was cold. Very cold, even for that time of year. Olnuk tossed another knot of wood on the fire and then dove back into his pile of hides. No matter what he did it seemed that some part of his body was exposed to cold air. Right now there was a breeze running up his leg freezing his left buttock. He had no word for buttock of course, he just knew that now his bottom was cold.

What Makes Us Humans?
You will find numerous theories in what makes us human - several of which can be interconnected or related. The topic of people's existence has been pondered for a large number of years. Ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle all theorized concerning the nature of people's presence, as have countless philosophers since.

How to Save the World
MACRO -VS- MICRO - If you read my article "Leveling Up Part 2 - Darwin was Wrong", you know what I think about his theory (if you haven't read it, now would be a good time). You also may have read about what I call "the Great Umph", a purposeful and intentional shift of consciousness that results in an evolutionary shift on the "macro" level. Where in Micro-evolution the species uses changes in the genetic makeup to create variations within the species, Macro-evolution results in the formation of a new species.

How The Cane Replaced The Sword in Everyday Carry
When was the last time you saw someone just walking down the street, a sword at their hip? For most of us this is not something we see outside of historical reenactments, officers' balls, or particularly large conventions dedicated to comic books and roleplaying games. However, there was a time when belting on a sword was just something you did when you stepped out your door... it was as much a status symbol as it was a sign that you were not someone to be messed with.

Military Ground Vehicle Propulsion System Market Trends, Key Makers and Competitive Analysis 2019-2030
Various types of batteries (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium or iron-nickel Edison cells) present in the vehicles are found to be too heavy and have failed to store the energy required to produce the desired power-levelling effect. One way to reach the goal is to develop the electric motor at about the same size as it is in an internal combustion engine (ICE)-based military vehicle or to have a large battery pack with enough energy storage for the longest anticipated maneuver. Various OEMs are majorly investing in the electric vehicle development programs through partnerships to increase the energy density with improved battery life and hence retain the market share in the industry.

Neanderthals And People Were War for More than 100,000 Years, Evidence Shows
Neanderthals And People Were War for More than 100,000 Years, Evidence Shows Around 600,000 decades back, humanity split in two. One group stayed in Africa, turning into us. They were not our ancestors, but a sister species, evolving.

The Great Mother
In the beginning of Earth’s days, the Sun God sent down the Great Mother to plant life into the ground. The Sun God and the Great Mother agreed that if she could watch over the earth she planted, then the Sun God would help it grow. The Great Mother loved the earth with all her being. She planted life in every piece of land she stepped upon. First there were lush grass beds and then elegant flowers danced within the grass beds to keep them company. Next there were enormous trees as far as the eye could see in a variety of shapes and colors. Very few days would pass without new creations being built along the horizon and each day the Sun God would appear and help the new life blossom more beautifully each day.

Could humans have stayed in the age of tribes?
The topic of underdeveloped tribes throughout the world is one that has consistently plagued my mind for years. How can we be running in a world of satellites, fiber-optics, and electric cars while so many are still in the phase of hunter-gatherers?

New Theories on Eternal Life Medicine
Of course, the purpose of medicine is to extend human life. Fundamental problems in relying on medicine alone to extend lifespan have been (1) the problem that development of new medicines to advance life necessarily involves testing that inevitable results in loss of life; and (2) the possibility that there is a fixed limit to the human lifespan, beyond which the aging process cannot be modulated, and wherein it no longer makes any practical sense to continue in this lifetime.
