/////////////////////Michio Kaku Video: New Views on Time Travel
Is time travel possible? In his new book, Physics of the Impossible, renowned physicist Michio Kaku warns us that nothing should be considered impossible or beyond our eventual understanding. "In my own short lifetime," he writes, "I have seen the seemingly impossible become established fact over and over again."
In "Physics of the Impossible," Kaku divides the "seemingly impossible" into three classes: Class I consists of technologies that...

///////////////////Time isn't money: Study finds that we spend the resources differentlyEconomists usually treat time like money - as another scarce resource that people spend to achieve certain ends. Money is used to pay for things like furniture and plane tickets; time is spent assembling the do-it-yourself bookshelf or searching for cheap flights on the Internet. But despite the old adage that time is money, the two are far from psychologically equivalent, reveals a study from the April issue of the Journal of Consumer Research - particularly when it comes to consumer spending decisions.http://www.brainmysteries.com/research/Time_isnt_money_Study_finds_that_we_spend_the_resources_differently.asp
////////////////////GORILLAS BRANCHED OFF B4 CHIMPS FROM OUR FMLY TREE
///////////////////////Mass Movement DNA evidence prompts new hypothesis about early migrations to America.
Research by anthropologists in LAS indicate that early humans may have migrated from Asia to the Americas more slowly than originally believed. New DNA evidence suggests that they settled in the area between Siberia and Alaska for 15,000 years, then spread into the Americas. (Image courtesy of Ripan Mahli.)
Apparently the first humans to reach the New World took a while to get there. A geneticist at the University of Illinois believes that migrants from Asia lingered around a former land mass between Siberia and Alaska—called Beringia—for as long as 15,000 years before finally spreading south into the Americas.
The standstill provided researchers with clues to understand their migration. The pause was long enough for the first Americans to have formed their own distinct genetic makeup before populating the New World, according to a research team led by Ripan Malhi in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ Department of Anthropology.

Chimps Belong on Human Branch of Family TreeStudy SaysJohn Pickrell in Englandfor National Geographic NewsMay 20, 2003http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/05/0520_030520_chimpanzees.html
A new report argues that chimpanzees are so closely related to humans that they should be included in our branch of the tree of life. Chimpanzees and other apes have historically been separated from humans in classification schemes, with humans deemed the only living members of the hominid family of species.
Now, biologists at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, provide new genetic evidence that lineages of chimps (currently Pan troglodytes) and humans (Homo sapiens) diverged so recently that chimps should be reclassed as Homo troglodytes. The move would make chimps full members of our genus Homo, along with Neandertals, and all other human-like fossil species. "We humans appear as only slightly remodeled chimpanzee-like apes," says the study.

It is part of the collection of the Instituto Hondureño de Antropología e Historia, Museo de San Pedro Sula in Honduras. (Courtesy of John S. Henderson)Mesoamerican menus featured cacao beverages - probably fermented ones - at least as early as 1100 B.C., some 500 years earlier than previously documented anywhere, according to new research published in the latest issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The paper, "Chemical and archaeological evidence from the earliest cacao beverages," summarizes the landmark research of anthropologists Rosemary Joyce of the University of California, Berkeley, and John S. Henderson an anthropology professor of Cornell University, as well as of Gretchen R. Hall, a research associate with the Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania Museum , W. Jeffrey Hurst of the Hershey Foods Technical Center in Philadelphia, and Patrick E. McGovern, a senior research scientist and adjunct associate professor of anthropology at the Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology.
