Worms and Humans Are One Family

Research proved that the worms and humans have the same origins, at lest their nervous systems do. While it was a fact that they have some common ancestors, yet now it was proved their nervous systems are forming in about the same way. ...

clearly you havent heard of Dr. Mello's nobel winning research on RNAi. as a test subject, he used this transparent worm (I'm currently looking up the name of it) which had many of the organs humans do, which make them excellent test subjects. its true that if we chart out the human evolution, we'd see that one of them would branch out to become what is a worm today. what is our nervous system is probably altered for the modern worm due to the drastic conditions the two live in. you have to remember though, the ancestor wasnt last generation: the two have been changing themselves to adapt to different, yet ever changing conditions for millions upon millions of years.

I have my doubts about the validity of these claims of finding a human brain fossil. I would like to see photos. on the other hand, I do have photos of the real thing, One that my wife and I own. This one is for real. Check it out on You Tube Man with two brains (I was trying to catch attention).
Honestly, I do really have this thing and it is Infiltration nature actual cast pseudo morph, not encrustation and not endocast.

this is very exciting. and i am actually researching DNA extraction in extinct animals for my AP Biology class and have a few questions.

what have learned about your samples so far?
i have read that there are many ways of doing this how do you go about it?
how fast does a centrifuge need to spin to seperate the particles?
what do you think are some disadvantages of this discovery?

Please, please e-mail me back it will greatly help me and would be greatly appreicated. thanks :)

I believe that the ability to reserect past extinct animals is very insightful. with every advancement in modern technology we achieve further capabilities that will i believe help modern day humans unlock the mysteries of the everexpanding subject of science.

It's been happening. With any three towers, the company / govt / scientists can pinpoint and track your location down to a very small area. And, it need not involve you making active calls or texting. Your phone is checking in with the towers periodically, at the least. Newer phones allow ever more trackability, as well. Ever played with Google Maps on your cellphone/smartphone??? Its Google -- not the govt -- and even if your phone doesnt support GPS, they are able to figure out YOUR LOCATION IN REAL TIME within a few blocks using some Google'y calculations they've worked out.. Which is to say, even some dot-com can track you easily enough, even lacking all the access/tools that the telco or govt would have access to...

"I like how they wanted the physics department to go through the ethics board about this. The team broke no law, got no personal information, and didnt know exact locations. If there are 6 cell towers in even a place the size of vermont, youd have no clue where the phone was."

A scientifically unethical study need not violate any law. In disciplines like psychology, the ethics requirements are much more stringent than simply, "Don't break the law".
