Sarah DeWeerdt – Cities Are Driving Rapid Evolutionary Changes to Plant and Animal Species

Cities are driving rapid evolutionary changes to plant and animal species, according to a study published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Usually, we think of evolution as happening in remote, isolated, or pristine places—the Galapagos Islands, for example. But the new findings suggest that scientists can’t understand evolution as it’s currently occurring without grappling with the …

Popeye was right: There’s energy in that spinach

Using a simple membrane extract from spinach leaves, researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a bio-photo-electro-chemical (BPEC) cell that produces electricity and hydrogen from water using sunlight. The raw material of the device is water, and its products are electric current, hydrogen and oxygen. The findings were published in the August 23 online issue of Nature Communications. The …

The Quantum Evolution of Consciousness – Energy Stew interview with Carl Calleman

How are our minds being transformed by evolution? Are we ready for the quantum shifts that need to happen in order to save our civilization? Our society is imploding because humanity doesn’t yet know how to really solve our problems. The Mayans knew this was going to be the reality of these times and predicted the new era we’ve entered into.

Carl Calleman is an expert about the Mayan Calendar and has deciphered the way the Mayans have described the evolution of our civilization. We have entered a period of “night” that we’ll be in for the next 360 or more years. The “day” we have just completed has brought us to the end of an epoch that couldn’t sustain itself. He explains what this all means in his wonderful book, “The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization”. Listen to this interview with him and you’ll understand how we couldn’t help it.

Nauman Sadiq – Saudi Arabia, The Mainspring of Islamic Radicalism

If we look at the evolution of Islamic religion and culture throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, it hasn’t been natural. Some deleterious mutations have occurred somewhere which have negatively impacted the Islamic societies all over the world. Social selection (or social conditioning) plays the same role in the social sciences which the natural selection plays in the biological sciences: …

Is evolution more intelligent than we thought?

Evolution may be more intelligent than we thought, according to a University of Southampton professor. Professor Richard Watson says new research shows that evolution is able to learn from previous experience, which could provide a better explanation of how evolution by natural selection produces such apparently intelligent designs. By unifying the theory of evolution (which shows how random variation and …

Life on Earth likely started 4.1 billion years ago — much earlier than scientists thought

UCLA geochemists have found evidence that life likely existed on Earth at least 4.1 billion years ago — 300 million years earlier than previous research suggested. The discovery indicates that life may have begun shortly after the planet formed 4.54 billion years ago. The research is published today in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National …
