Various life forms have evolved, some became extinct, some became stronger and smarter over the history of life on earth. The most important factor that contributed to the survival of species is the evolution of Brain Power, or in my terminology the software and circuitry (nerve calls and nerve connections). It is evident that a species has to have software to survive apart from the hardware. The Intelligence and brain power has evolved over generations to enable the organisms to survive in the...

Menopause, Wilson argued, was not a natural age-related...

Because I apparently don't have enough things to angst about right now, I've been thinking about my father lately. I've always been amazed at the effect he's managed to have upon my life despite having never been in it. His relationship with my mother had already disintegrated by the time of the 4th of July tryst that resulted in my creation. I was conceived amidst the rockets red glare, underneath stolen munitions bursting mid-air. Like most of my mothers friends from high school, Steve joined...
