Caveman DNA ‘Inherited by Inuit People Help them Survive the Arctic cold’
INUIT people living in Greenland may have inherited caveman genes that helped an extinct type of human survive the last Ice Age. New evidence suggests the Inuits are protected against the Arctic cold by DNA from Denisovans, a human sub-species that populated Siberia about 40,000 years ago. The discovery is a further indication of interbreeding long ago between the ancestors … Continue reading

CERN Large Hadron Collider Could Discover Mysterious Dark Matter and Unlock ‘Parallel Universe’
ELUSIVE dark matter, the mysterious substance believed to make up 85 per cent of all matter in the universe, could finally be identified by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a scientific paper has claimed. A study by the University of California, Irvine, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, has suggested there may be a fifth force of nature that … Continue reading
The Sun is Slowing Down, and Scientists Think They Finally Know Why
Astronomers think they might have finally solved the mystery of how and why the Sun’s rotation is slowing down. The Sun, on average, rotates on its axis roughly once per month, but two decades ago, scientists made the baffling discovery that its outer 5 percent spins more slowly than the rest of its interior. And a new study might have … Continue reading
