New Species of Bee that Loves Human Tears
If you are not a fan of bees – then close your eyes now.
For scientists have discovered a species of bees that love nothing more than sucking on the sweet nectar of juice that covers your eyeballs.
And the bees come to land so gently under your eyelids, that some people did not even feel the insects, or feel any sensation as the bees started sucking on their tears.
Even closing your eyes doesn’t always help, according to the report from the Kansas Entomological Society.
‘Missing Link’ Gene Discovered
It is a question that has long puzzled scientists. What made our ancestors break away from apes and advance so dramatically?
Now researchers believe they may have explained the missing link – a duplicated gene.
Researchers believe that a copy of gene SRGAP2, which appeared in ‘ape men’ around 2.5million years ago, helped our brain cells move faster and make more connections – enabling the brain to become more complex.
Ancient Dino Viruses Thrive in Humans
A study shows how extensively viruses from as far back as the dinosaur era still thrive in our genetic material. It sheds light on the origins of a big proportion of our genetic material, much of which is still not understood.
Older Than Giza – Ancient Burial Chamber Revealed
EVEN 5000 years ago, Britons were an understated bunch. About 250 years before work began on Egypt’s ostentatious Great Pyramid of Giza, the early settlers of Orkney, off the north coast of Scotland, were building impressive stone chambers of their own – and burying them under mounds of dirt. Now, intensive laser scanning makes it possible to virtually peel away the mud, revealing one of those chambers in all its glory.
