Humans Tamed Horses All Over the World

"The domestication of wild horses had a profound effect on human history -- offering nutrition, transportation and a leg up in warfare, among other advantages. But there are still many unanswered questions about when and where our species began its long love affair with horses. A new genetic study offers some clues. Through the first complete analysis of equestrian mitochondrial DNA -- a kind of genetic material that is passed directly from mother to offspring -- an international group of scientists was able to trace all modern horses to an ancestor that lived about 140,000 years ago."

TODAY WAS PARTICULARLY ROUGH. THEY PEED IN MY LOCKER!

Today is officially the happiest Monday of the year

Today might feel rather different from your regular Monday. That’s because, for millions of us, the traditional start-of-the-week moody blues have vanished. The reason? Well, there’s a lot to smile about because, for many, the first pay cheque of the year has finally arrived and our summer holiday is booked. In fact, psychologists are hailing January 30 as ‘Happy Monday’.

"Stressed yeast cells frantically reshuffle their chromosomes in a desperate last bid to find a combination that survives. This "panic" response enables them to rapidly evolve resistance to drugs. The discovery might also apply to cancer, because cancer cells often have abnormal numbers and arrangements of chromosomes. Understanding one of the mechanisms by which cancers develop resistance to drugs could in turn open up new ways to combat cancer."

Why the online obsession with revealing every detail of your life?

"Sharing. Now there's a basic social concept that has somehow got all out of whack. The idea behind sharing is simple. Let's say I'm a caveman. I hunt and slaughter a bison, but I can't eat it all myself, so I share the carcass with others, many of whom really appreciate it, such as my infirm 86-year-old neighbour who hasn't had a proper meal in weeks because he is incapable of killing anything larger than a woodlouse. Have you tried grilling a woodlouse?"
