Which creatures are older than dinosaurs?

Have you noticed how often people, who spend a long time sitting at a desk, complain about back pain? When we've been sitting for a long time we are not conscious of our posture. Slouching affects the position of our neck and spine and causes back pains or even headaches. A small gadget that operates as a "slouch detector" comes to the rescue! The gadget monitors your neck and spinal position and buzzes, when the position is less than ideal! All you need to do is clip the gadget onto your shirt. However, you need to remember not to take any notice when the gadget buzzes for the wrong reason; for example when you lean over to answer the phone or get something from a drawer! Do you think the slouch detector is worth buying? Would you use it?

An Australian biogeneticist and his team began developing a vitamin-A-enriched banana to combat the destructive effects

EDU.C

of vitamin A deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa. The banana was chosen as it made up a lot of the children's diet in the area, where about a third of the children under the age of 5 are at risk of going blind due to vitamin A deficiency. Provided that this type of "super banana" can actually be cultivated locally, and consumed by a substantial number of people, this type of food re-engineering might be extended to a wider range of products around the world. What do you think? Is intervening and reengineering crops a good idea?

Evidence has led scientists to suggest that early humans cooked their first hot meals more than 1.9 m years ago. The invention of cooking was a crucial factor in human evolution as it allowed our ancestors to expand their diet and to obtain more calories and nutrients from their food. Cooking softened food and made endless chewing redundant. This, according to scientists, resulted in the disappearance of large teeth which were replaced by smaller ones. It also reduced feeding times considerably and allowed early humans to develop different skills. According to Harvard evolutionary biologist, Richard Wrangham, controlling and using fire to cook was instrumental to the development of modern man. What do you think? *

Hagfish, according to fossil records, have existed for over 300 million years. They are often called slime eels because of the slimy substance they produce, with the purpose of damaging the gills of predatory fish. As a result, hagfish have no natural enemies. The Coelacanth is the most famous "living fossil". It was supposed to have become extinct in the Cretaceous period, along with the dinosaurs, until a live specimen was caught in South Africa in the late 1930s. Since then, more coelacanths have been seen and photographed. A second coelacanth species was found in Indonesia in 1999. Coelacanths can be up to 2 meters long and feed on smaller fish, in deep, dark waters. Did you know? Have you heard of other prehistoric animals that are still alive?*

Research findings support the belief that a number of animals laugh when tickled! Scientists believe that nonhuman primates not only laugh but also have a sense of humor. Koko was a famous gorilla in California who learned more than two thousand words and one thousand American Sign Language signs, and demonstrated the ability to use different meanings of the same word. When asked about things she thought were hard, she signed, "rock" and "work"! She also tied her trainer's shoelaces together before signing "chase" and turning to walk away! What do you think?

Presenter: We're at the edge of the desert, waiting for the falcon hunters to arrive. And here they come... I thought their car was white... This must be them. They must have been on the road longer than expected... Welcome back. It's great to see you again Mr. Ali.

Mr. Ali: Presenter: Mr. Ali:

Presenter:

Thank you. Good to see you too! I wasn't sure you'd be here.

Of course I'm here. I can't wait to hear about your exploits. Have you had a successful hunt? Have we, indeed! We have been more fortunate than we could have ever expected. This has been the best trip ever! I wish we could have gone on for another two weeks!
