Speech is unique to humans, and this is true for three main reasons. Your larynx is low in your neck with a long air column above your vocal cords. Because of this physical design you can make clear vowel sounds. And the back of your tongue extends deep down into your neck and modulates air flow to make clear consonant sounds. Contrast that with … Read the rest…

We Are Not Trained Apes
No. We are not trained apes. From as early as seven months human children can understand and learn grammatical rules. Have you ever heard of “feral children”? These are children raised without human contact. There have been studies of 36 documented cases of these children, and they don’t speak until learning from another human. While it’s true we humans need to be taught language… … Read the rest…
ET Will Not Phone Home
I remember a song from Don Henley off his “Inside Job” compilation called “They’re Not Here, They’re Not Coming”.

Scientists have a whole classification table where these distinctions are clearly illustrated. What’s that you say? So what? Yeah, I agree it’s not the most exciting tidbit … Read the rest…
Vital Organs Really Are Vital
Vital organs are, by definition, absolutely necessary. In other words, if you’re missing a vital organ, there’s a good chance you’re missing the rest of your life. And if that’s vitally important to you, read on… Have you ever noticed how all species appear on the scene fully developed? Does it matter to you? I think it should, but maybe that’s just me. Anyway… … Read the rest…
Complex molecules make up every little bit of your body. Your DNA is so complex it boggles the mind. And it’s so unique that you’re the only one exactly like you. Well…aren’t you something?! Now, don’t get the “big head” full of complex molecules over this revelation. The same could be true of every other person on the planet. So “you” means any person … Read the rest…
