When it comes to evolution, scientists tell us that we mammals started out small and only got to be human (and human-sized) after the dinosaurs died out. And diseases have their own evolution: How did HIV (and the AIDS it leads to) migrate from monkeys to men? The reason that mammals stayed small (most of them were the size of today’s rats) during the dinosaur days was because most of the dinosaurs were herbivores (vegetarians), so they ate most of the plants that existed in that time.

There are all kinds of evolution. How did we become human when we share 98% of our genes with chimps? Part of this has to do with superior brain power–we have at least 300,000 brain cells for each neuron in a fruit fly brain and supercomputers have more brain power than we do, which is why IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer was able to defeat chess champion Garry Kasparov.read more

Different from us? – It’s easy to forget that there have been many small beings, such as fairies, leprechauns and trolls, in the legends of many cultures. In his contact experiences, Whitley has seen small Grays, as well as short, stocky cobalt blue figures. Were these beings only mythical or did (or do) they really exist?

In USA Today, Dan Vergano reports that UK folklorist Michael Heaney claims that the Greek historian Herodotus wrote about these people around 450 BC. John of Tzetses, who wrote in the Byzantine era, described them as being “strong warriors, good horsemen rich in flocks of cattle and sheep and goats. They are one-eyed, ‘shaggy with hairs, the toughest of men.'”

Are we evolving? – June 2010 was the hottest June on record (since NOAA began keeping track of temperatures in 1880). Climate change may not be good for current humans, but it may have helped our ancestors BECOME human–are we still evolving? In the Turkana Basin of Kenya, one of the places where human life began, the average daily temperature has reached the mid-90s or higher, year-round, for the past 4 million years. But it was the altitude, not the heat, that forced ancient Tibetans to undergo the fastest evolution ever seen in humans.
