We know Bacteria can evolve. Is there emergence of intelligence in simple rules governing bacterial evolution?
Bacteria is the most successful life form we know of and has adopted very well. It will, most likely, out live any life form we know of. Probably the only thing that can outlive bacteria is virus. But by many … Continue reading
Do we differ from Chimpanzees in genetic make up?
The popular answer has been that the difference is tiny and we share 98% of the genome with Chimpanzee. However, it’s important to see where these differences lie even though it’s only 2%. In genetics, even a few 1000 base … Continue reading

Evolution in remote islands takes interesting turns
Carnivorous caterpillar (that eats fruit flies). The fruit fly itself is an interesting factoid in evolution on the Hawaiian islands.
Cheaters beware! Don’t break trust. Weather you are a plant or animal. Nemesis will catch up
Very interesting article. Proves that exploitation of friends depletes the resources and results in cheaters in a symbiotic relationship to lose. Nature’s recourse Nature has a shifty side. Bees cheat flowers. Flowers cheat bees. Fish cheat other fish, and so on. … Continue reading

Parasites help evolution in insects
Any parasite that helps reproduction is likely to spread among the population. A mother Howardula worm would swell to massive size inside a host fly, laying thousands of eggs. After they hatched, larvae coursed through the host’s body. The flies didn’t … Continue reading
Ebola, Marbug viruses may be hiding in Wallabies and Bats, clues for defense against killer bugs may also be present
New discovery of ‘Fossil’ genes of filovirus in wallabies is both promising and is raising concerns at the same time. ‘Ebola Cousin’ Marburg Virus Isolated From African Fruit Bats The work has important implications for the development of potential human vaccines, as … Continue reading
