“ Malaysia's pen-tailed tree-shrew waits until nightfall to binge on fermented nectar from the bertam palm.
The animal could give insights into how humans' alcohol tolerance first evolved, the scientists say.
The shrew's resistance to intoxication suggests its body must have an effective mechanism for breaking down alcohol.
This should not come as too much of a surprise: scientists believe the animals - which are distant relatives of humans - have had 55 million years of evolution to adapt to their boozy lifestyle.
Humans may even preserve a relic of the shrews' love of alcohol that has lasted through millions of years of evolution.
They added: "Therefore, we hypothesize that moderate to high alcohol intake was present early on in the evolution of these closely related lineages. "

“we hypothesize … closely related lineages”
OR MAY BE the artist has signature style …
There is a science on earth among the homely saps that spends a great deal of time and effort and discernment learning to distinguish the style of the great artists so that they can spot a fake. Yet even the fake mirrors the style that came from the heart of the artist. A fake Rembrandt is not a fake unless it does.
So where are our scientists and our media and our teachers that they can not recognize the signature of a great artist ….. ‘For the invisible things of him are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things that are made, that is his signature artistic style; so that they are without excuse!’

“ Human speech traced to talking fish.

Researchers say real fish can communicate with sound, too. And they say (the researchers, that is) that your speech skills and, in fact, all sound production in vertebrates can be traced back to this ability in fish.

The scientists mapped developing brain cells in newly hatched midshipman fish larvae and compared them to those of other species. They found that the chirp of a bird, the bark of a dog and all the other sounds that come out of animals' mouths are the products of the neural circuitry likely laid down hundreds of millions of years ago with the hums and grunts of fish. ”

The Bible told us long long long before science came around that we learned to talk when God spent hours talking to us; and Now science thinks that it can intrude and tell us how we learned to talk ? ?
Science does not want “religion” to intrude on its territory …. OK who Was there first ? ? How could science have the arrogance and audacity to dare to insist where it does not know what it is talking about ? Nor can it know.

Hows about science just stick to the facts ! ! !

By the way, there IS a lot of difference between the ‘hums and grunts’ of a fish and science fiction at its best, or philosophy, or advance calculus or a Shakespeare play. A difference that 200 million or 200 billion years could NOT make ! !
