It turned out that mitosis of the brain stem cells of extinct hominids occurred faster, but with a large number of errors in the divergence of chromosomes. The evolutionary paths of the ancestors of modern man ( Homo sapiens ) and Neanderthals ( Homo neanderthalensis ) diverged about half a million years…
(ORDO NEWS) — Experts from the UK have proposed a very unusual way to build housing on Mars, which can help avoid the transport of numerous building materials to the planet. To do this, you can use cosmic dust, as well as the sweat, blood and urine of astronauts. The results of the research conducted by the scientists were published in Materials Today Bio. In order to transport just one brick to Mars, you need to spend about two million…

(ORDO NEWS) — The authors of the new study set out to measure health inequalities retrospectively by comparing the mortality of politicians with the mortality of the population they represent. Researchers at Oxford University’s Center for Health and Economics Research in the UK and the University of Melbourne in Australia compared death rates between politicians and the general population, based on data from 11 developed countries. In recent years, the growth in life expectancy - the most important demographic indicator…
