Neanderthal Extinction: Blood Group Incompatibility as a Contributing Factor
A new study suggests that blood group incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans, specifically a rare Rh factor in Neanderthals causing neonatal hemolytic disease in mixed offspring, may have contributed to Neanderthal extinction.

Space Colonization: A Reality Check
Kelly and Zach Weinersmith's "A City on Mars" challenges the overly optimistic view of space colonization as a solution to climate change, arguing that leaving a warming Earth for Mars would be akin to escaping a messy room for a toxic waste dump; the book won the £25,000 Royal Society Trivedi scien...

Maugean Skate Extinction Parallels ALP's Political Decline Amidst Corporate Influence
Fewer than 120 Maugean skate rays face extinction in Tasmania due to pollution from salmon farms, mirroring the Australian Labor Party's (ALP) declining electoral support, potentially its lowest since 1934, attributed to its perceived subservience to corporate interests.

Human Activities Cut North Atlantic Right Whale Lifespan to 22 Years
A study reveals North Atlantic right whales, endangered with only 370 left, live just 22 years due to ship strikes, fishing gear entanglement, and climate change, a fraction of their potential 100+ year lifespan, threatening the species' survival and ocean ecosystem.
