The Copernican Principle, named in honor of Nicolaus Copernicus (who proposed the heliocentric model of the Universe), states that Earth and humans do not occupy a special or privileged place in the Universe. In cosmological terms, this essentially means that Earth is representative of the norm, and life is likely to exist throughout the cosmos. While our efforts to find …

Scientists on Tuesday reported that they had reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice, a feat that offers hope of a potential cure for the devastating form of dementia in humans. In a paper published Tuesday in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, a team of researchers describe how, by harnessing the brain’s garbage disposal system, they managed to repair the brain and …

Aging is inevitable, but it hasn’t always looked the same throughout the long history of humankind.

Leading scientists reached this conclusion after reanalysis of a skull known as Yunxian 2 discovered in China and previously classified as belonging to a member of the …

The human brain is a hefty thing. Weighing well over a kilo, its an electrified lump that’s been compared by neuroscientists to the texture of silken tofu, and yet within its innumerous connections is coded everything that we are.  That wasn’t always the case, however. In fact, among the earliest lifeforms, eyes actually evolved before the brain. It makes you …

Back in the day when early humans were spreading out of Africa, the world was not as we know it. Yet the study of the paths by which the Homo genus dispersed around the globe starting as much as 2 million years ago has tended to overlook that. It is agreed that our genus evolved in Africa and began to …

Staying healthy and leading a longer life is not just about avoiding disease, it is about keeping the cells working. Inside almost every cell in the body are tiny structures called mitochondria, they act like tiny batteries that produce the energy the body needs to function, move, think and even repair itself.As the body gradually ages, mitochondria can become less …
