Blue Lobsters: Rarity Questioned by Scientists
Scientists and hatchery experts are questioning the rarity of bright blue lobsters, traditionally considered a one-in-two-million find, due to increased sightings and observations of color changes in captivity.

Paternal Childhood Passive Smoking Linked to Impaired Lung Health in Offspring
A study published in Thorax reveals that fathers' childhood exposure to passive smoking is associated with a 56% increased risk of their children experiencing poor lung function by age 53, even after accounting for socioeconomic factors and parental asthma history.

Genetic Test Predicts Childhood Obesity Risk with Improved Accuracy
A new genetic test, using a polygenic risk score (PGS), can predict a child's risk of developing severe obesity as an adult, with an accuracy twice that of previous methods, based on a global study of over five million individuals; the test works best for those of European ancestry.

Rapid Human Evolution: Adaptation to Altitude and Arctic Conditions
Two recent studies highlight rapid human evolution: Sherpas adapt quickly to high altitudes through kidney and respiratory functions, while Greenlandic Inuits show genetic adaptations for metabolizing omega-3 fatty acids from their traditional diet.

Even Light Drinking May Increase Dementia Risk, Large Study Finds
A new study of nearly 560,000 individuals finds a linear association between any amount of alcohol consumption and increased dementia risk, challenging previous research suggesting light drinking might be neuroprotective.

Telomere Length: A Biomarker of Aging and Lifestyle
A new study of over 350,000 individuals reveals a link between shorter telomeres, a marker of biological aging, and increased risk of age-related brain diseases, but this link is mitigated by a healthy lifestyle.

Paternal secondhand smoke exposure linked to impaired lung function in offspring
A study of 890 Australian families revealed that fathers exposed to secondhand smoke during childhood had children with a 56% higher likelihood of impaired lung function by age 53, even after accounting for socioeconomic status and parental asthma history.

AI Tool Predicts Disease Risk from Rare Genetic Mutations
American researchers developed an AI tool using over one million electronic health records to predict the likelihood of disease from rare genetic variants, improving early detection and reducing unnecessary treatments for 10 hereditary diseases, including breast cancer and PKD.

ADSL Enzyme Variation: A Potential Key to Homo Sapiens' Evolutionary Success
A study published in PNAS suggests that a single amino acid change in the enzyme adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL), unique to Homo sapiens, may have enhanced water-seeking behavior, contributing to our ancestors' survival advantage over Neanderthals and Denisovans approximately 600,000 years ago.

140,000-Year-Old Skull Rewrites History of Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding
Researchers have found 140,000-year-old evidence of Homo sapiens and Neanderthal interbreeding in a child's skull discovered in Israel's Skhul Cave, predating previous evidence by 100,000 years and suggesting continuous interaction and interbreeding between the two groups.
