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? Evolut... read full post picked by Blankspace73 4 months ago

Human age is a simulation game / free virtual management game / rpg where you adopt a human being and help him or her through various ages of mankind, from prehistory to the 21st century, from learning how to use a club to your driver's license. picked by daftgretel 10 months ago

A team of Genographic researchers have published the most extensive survey to date of African mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Analyses of the extensive data presented in this study provide surprising insights into the early demographic history of human populations before they moved out of Africa, illustrating that these early human populations were small and isolated from each other for many tens of th... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

New evidence from the Monte Verde archaeological site in southern Chile confirms its status as the earliest known human settlement in the Americas and provides additional support for the theory that one early migration route followed the Pacific Coast more than 14,000 years ago. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

While it is well understood that the evolution of new genes leads to adaptations that help species survive, gene loss may also afford a selective advantage. A group of scientists has investigated this less-studied idea, carrying out the first systematic computational analysis to identify long-established genes that have been lost across millions of years of evolution leading to the human species. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

The international torch relay for the Beijing Olympic Games has been besieged in almost every city it has visited so far by protesters against repression in Tibet and human rights violations in China. But what is the human rights picture really like in China, and how has it changed over the past quarter of a century? picked by doggylives 3 months ago

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. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

An amazing collection of photographs of human rights issues from around the world, I was going to just submit one gallery but I've submitted the link to the site as theres so many great ones to look at.

The original Human Genome Project mapped the DNA from one person and took 13 years to complete. Today the 1000 Genome Project was announced - a plan to map the differences between individual humans that will give an insight into the physiological differences between us, and genetic diseases too. It is expected to take 3 years. picked by Pocksucket 6 months ago
