Understanding human genetics is not easy, and genes continue tostrict scientific and Ƅiological rules that are very difficult to circumvent or override. If two parents have the same skin color, it is safe to assume that they are from the same ethnic group, and any children they may have are expected to have the same skin color as their mom and dad. However, if the father (or mother) has a different or lighter skin color than his dark-skinned partner, his child would be expected to inherit a combination of these physical characteristics from his parents, resulting in a medium dark…
In Finland, a rare and intriguing natural phenomenon has recently been spotted, known as “ice eggs.” These icy spheres form under highly specific conditions, making the sighting a unique and remarkable one. The discovery was made by Risto Mattila, an amateur photographer, and his wife, as they were strolling along Marjaniemi beach on Hailuoto island. The beach was entirely covered by an expanse of small icy balls that stretched out over 30 meters (98ft), creating an awe-inspiring sight. Mattila described the largest of the eggs to be about the size of a football, which is quite remarkable when you consider…
The NBA playoffs are underway, and the most prominent names like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Joel Embiid have been in the spotlight. But some stars didn’t end up making it into the postseason. Perhaps the most surprising misses are Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, despite their teaming up. The Dallas Mavericks had a horrific end to the season and missed the play-in tournament entirely. But this isn’t the first time Irving’s had a disappointing season in the past six years, as was pointed out. After he left the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James, Kyrie Irving went to the Boston Celtics,…
On the evening of December 22nd, pregnant Mam Nata was abandoned in front of IAPA. She is now in the final stages of her pregnancy and due any day. She was so frail and afraid that it took some time for the staff at Instituto Amour em Patas (IAPA) to get her to relax. The fear of her coming puppies caused her owner to abandon her. She was quite protective of her mother at first, using all of her energy to keep the shelter volunteers at bay. However, after some time had passed, she lowered her guard and warmed up…
For the past three or four seasons, Damian Lillard has been the subject of many trade rumors around the NBA. The Portland Trail Blazers’ inability to put together a competitive team has affected the player’s chances to win a championship, and many teams are waiting to see if they have a chance to land Lillard. In recent hours, one NBA executive claimed that the San Antonio Spurs could help the Nets get Lillard in Brooklyn while getting Ben Simmons in return. “I have heard that the Spurs have an interest in Simmons, and they could be a third team in…
The story of the lost city of Atlantis is iconic by now, to say the least. Even if you’re not a conspiracy theorist yourself you most likely know of it already and what it entails. But the problem with this is that it appears to be one of the only lost cities that are known by the general public. We need to focus our collective knowledge so we can educate the masses on every other city out there too. One of these is the legendary Heracleion. Originally an ancient Egyptian city near the Canopic Mouth of the Nile, around 20…

The Giant Honey Mushroom, also known as Armillaria ostoyae, is the largest living organism on Earth. It was discovered in 1992 in Oregon, United States, and is estimated to cover an area of around 2,200 acres (8.9 km²), with an age estimated at around 2,400 years old. The fungus is a parasitic species that lives underground, feeding on the roots of trees. Its mycelium, the vegetative part of the fungus, spreads underground, forming large networks that can span vast areas. It can also produce mushrooms above ground, which are typically honey-colored and funnel-shaped, and appear in clusters during autumn. Despite…

The Phoenix Suns took a 3-1 lead in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday but they haven’t been all that impressive so far. The Suns have found it extremely hard to beat the undermanned Clippers and Stephen A. Smith is concerned by what he has seen from them. “I’m not happy with what I’m seeing,” Smith said on NBA Countdown. “Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are the top two dudes in minutes played, averaging 43.8 and 43.5 minutes respectively. That’s not going to cut it. Do you know that all five starters individually have more points…

The Voyager probes started their journey to the edge of the unknown in 1977, and they’re still going strong decades later. NASA began receiving garbled communications from Voyager 1 earlier this year, prompting concerns that the legendary spacecraft was on the verge of a major system failure. Fortunately, NASA today says that it was able to resolve the problem with the 45-year-old spacecraft, but solving this enigma has lead to another that may be more difficult to solve. Despite its name, Voyager 1 was the second of the probes to be launched. The “Grand Tour” of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and…
Point guard Russell Westbrook has been spectacular for the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs thus far, even though the team is currently down 3-1 against the Phoenix Suns.

They defended Westbrook, with Paul stating that the people who criticize Westbrook “don’t know basketball”. Kevin Durant: “People going to always criticize when you’re successful… Russ has…

The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in Game 3 of their first-round series. The Lakers took the first game, but the Grizzlies came back without Ja Morant to claim the second. And there is a very interesting undercurrent to the series at the moment. After Game 2, Dillon Brooks came out and insulted LeBron James. He explained how he doesn’t respect any player that doesn’t drop 40 points on him, and called LeBron old while he was at it. While his fighting words sparked a lot of controversies, Brooks has been proved wrong by stats. “Dillon Brooks’ comments…
Someone once stated that each individual is a miracle. While it is true that we all come in various sizes and shapes, we nevertheless feel that genetics is not Russian roulette. Ukr.Media states that most parents expect their children to be similar to them; however, some of these miracles are more surprising than others and leave their parents in astonishment as soon as they debut in this new world for them. The Mexican-American couple Edith and Raul Garcia recently had a similar event. And despite the fact that she is not the first albino beauty on Earth, her story is…

An enormous system of caves, chambers and tunnels lies hidden beneath the Pyramids of Giza, according to a British explorer who claims to have found the lost underworld of the pharaohs. Populated by bats and venomous spiders, the underground complex was found in the limestone bedrock beneath the pyramid field at Giza. “There is untouched archaeology down there, as well as a delicate ecosystem that includes colonies of bats and a species of spider which we have tentatively identified as the white widow,” British explorer Andrew Collins said. Collins, who will detail his findings in the book “Beneath the Pyramids”…
The underground lost labyrinth of Egypt is by far one of humanity’s greatest discoveries as of yet. What’s what? You’ve never heard of it? That’s exactly why. It’s so important for us as a species that the higher-ups simply put will not allow you to know this in the first place. But, we’re getting ahead of ourselves so let’s instead start with the basics of what we do know. It was originally discovered in 2008 by a group of researchers and upon discovery, they immediately realized the fact that this was the labyrinth spoken of in Herodotus and Strabo’s writings.…
