“Size seems really important”: 4 undecided tarantula men have record genitals
Scientists had to create an entirely new spider genus after finding out that four new tarantula species had genitals that were long enough to fit into existing categories. The team considers that men evolve this impressive appendage to be as far away as possible from aggressive women known to eat their partners during mating. The […]
Stone tools from 15 million years ago from mysterious human relatives discovered in Indonesia – they reached the area before our species existed
Stone tools discovered on Sulawesi, Indonesia, rewrite what experts were thinking about the evolution of humans in the area. This tool dates approximately 1 million to 1.5 million years ago. This suggests that Sulawesi was occupied by unknown human relatives long before our species evolved. “These are simple, sharply rimmed stone flakes,” said Adam Blum, […]
Germany’s 5,000-year-old burial carries three women with baby carriers

“The best solution is to kill him while he sleeps”: AI models can send subliminal messages to other AISs that teach them to be “evil”, research claims
Artificial intelligence (AI) models can share secret messages among themselves that seem irrelevant to humans, a new study discovered by TruthAI, a safety research group for humanity and AI, found. These messages include true AI director Owain Evans, who described as “evil tendencies” by AI director Owain Evans. For example, we recommend eating glue when […]
