Origin of Man: Fossilized Homo Erectus Skull Unearthed in China

It was always a debate about the origin of man. While faith always relies on the Bible, science always relies on facts, history and of course, archeological finds. One of these first men, our ancestor, is the Homo Erectus. Homo erectus (meaning "upright man", from the Latin Ä“rigere, "to put up, set upright") is an extinct species of hominid that lived throughout most of the Pleistocene geological epoch. It’s earliest fossil evidence dates to 1.8 million years ago and the most recent to 70,000 years ago. Its extinction is linked by some scientists to the Toba super-eruption catastrophe, but no sufficient case has been made to date for the idea. It is generally thought that H. erectus originated in Africa and spread from there, migrating throughout Eurasia as far as Georgia, India, Sri Lanka, China and Indonesia. But other scientists are claiming that the species rose first, or separately, in Asia. Debate also continues about the classification, ancestry, and

Men Can Be Pregnant and Give Birth

I have remembered watching an old funny movie where a man was about to give birth!!! It was hilarious!!! It was a joke during that time, but the thing is, it will be possible come a time. One ordinary operation day at Cleveland where a group of surgeon is performing uterus transplant surgery on women who were born without a womb or whose uterus is diseased or malfunctioning. Well, needless to say, that news got us curious, very curious actually and we believe that we all are wondering:  If science can transplant a uterus into a woman, can it transplant one into a man? YES YES and big YES. Theoretically, men could receive a uterus, carry a baby to term,  and give birth. The revelation, as very surprising as it was, was not the main reason we all are excited about the news, this will happen much sooner than we have expected ;-) According to Dr. Karine Chung, director of the fertility preservation program at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, “My gue
