UltraSound and Evolution
Barely mentioned in the scientific media, heating from sonic waves can activate genes:

Rapid Darwinian Evolution
Simply stated, Darwin told us that evolution revolves around the survival of the fittest – those least fit don’t make it, and therefore they don’t leave offspring. Those most fit will prosper, and their offspring …

Were Unicorns Real?
As this image of a deer in Italy shows, genetic abnormalities can cause a creature to have a “horn”. The reamining question is whether the unicorn myth was due to one odd deer (or horse), …
Human evolution speeding up?
The pace of change accelerated about 40,000 years ago and then picked up even more with the advent of agriculture about 10,000 years ago, the study says.
…The biggest changes have come since the end of …
Where did we come from, originally?
Regarding the very beginning, ie DNA, the recent analysis of an Australian meteorite provides evidence for Carl Sagan’s idea that we are of extra-terrestial origins:
