Cows and Milk..

Recently I have come across many researches that talk about how humans evolved and are different:
Ajit Varki talked about certain kind of cell surface glycoproteins (his theory about self and denial is also interesting)
Peter Parhan talked about MHCs today
And now this article: http://www.robrdunn.com/2011/05/the-secret-truth-about-lactose-defficiency/
I wonder if the trajectory is straight and tell us of what makes us humans, it is more reflective of what we were doing.

Who taught me that alchohol was bad?

So, was it beer?

We drank ourselves to civilization. I knew it couldn't have been a well thought decision! :D

The Father of Punk: James Brown

Say what?

The forest, the world, knows where you are and who you are. You must let it find you.

Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.

To run away ...

Denial of Death

With theory of mind comes denial of mortality, the only species can prevent themselves from self destructing. Danny Brower, the theory fits!
