Ancient Man's Teeth Were Healthier Than Modern Humans

It's a real fun NPR story that traces the changes in mankind's diet over the era's - such as the change 10K years ago to farming and the more recent change to processed sugar and such for the last 160 years or so. Here's the original and harder to decipher link with graphs at Nature.Com.

Hey, did you read about the `nearby' star (190 light years) is about the SAME AGE as the UNIVERSE? Some trippy stuff is in this article about the whole process of estimating the age of the universe too. Indeed, while within the + or - range, the star `reads' as being Older Than The Universe. It took Hubble images to work out these new numbers BTW.
=====================================
And, today's intellectual `paranormal' read is brought to you by one of my favorite thinkers - D. B. Donlan - careful, you could easily spend an hour at his blog.

Cavemen, quadrupeds and science, oh my!

I'm taking this headline directly from  one of the coolest websites -- about `cavemen'. I've featured the work of this Anthropologist before and this is another example of his good work. He takes a supposed `study' of `caveman' `art' of `animals' and proceeds to rip it .... well, a new one. 

The study purports that `cavemen' were more accurate artists of animals - than `modern man' artists samples of draw animals. He first slams the idea of `cavemen' and the sample size of the study and we are off to the races. Anyway, indulge your inner fantasy to feel kinship with the Caveman. The name of the blog is `A Very Remote Period Indeed'.
==========================================

==================================================================
Finally for today - from Cavemen, men that look like cavemen, we go to the other extreme - a `scholarly' yet, tongue in cheek look at the coming Robopocalypse and how to survive it.

Nearest Earth-Like Planet 13 Light Years Away - Perhaps

Wow. Fans of The AnomalyMan Listing will certainly enjoy the logic used in this analysis to project the truth of the above headline. Using statements and assumptions such as `6% of red dwarfs have rocky planets in the habitable zone' - along with other assumptions you will want to read today. 

BUT, find out why the first one that we find - that is an Earth-like rocky planet around a red dwarf in the habitable zone is likely to be 100 Light Years Away - gotta love stats.
