Toddlers to be taught about human rights Posted: 3 months ago by 2manyusernames
In a scheme condemned as an "absurd" waste of time, nurseries are teaching 3-year olds that people across the world live different lives but everyone has a right to food, water and shelter. Instead of playing and singing they are learning that the Giant from Jack & The Beanstalk had a right to be bad and therefor was a victim of Jack.

Scientists Find A Fingerprint Of Evolution Across The Human Genome Posted: 5 months ago by Blankspace73
The Human Genome Project revealed that only a small fraction of the 3 billion “letter” DNA code actually instructs cells to manufacture proteins, the workhorses of most life processes. This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events?
Evolution FTW.

Excerpt from a book which came out last year - great read for those of us sick of the system taking away our rights!

Evolutionary comparison finds new human genes Posted: 9 months ago by AutumnLotus
Using supercomputers to compare portions of the human genome with those of other mammals, researchers at Cornell have discovered some 300 previously unidentified human genes, and found extensions of several hundred genes already known. The discovery is based on the idea that as organisms evolve, sections of genetic code that do something useful for the organism change in different ways.
