Eve

 
 
 
 Mitochondrial Eve was someone who contributed a vital cell component – the DNA of the mitochondria – to all of her children, who then passed it to everyone in future generations.
She lived in sub-Saharan Africa about approximately 170,000 years ago, about the time period when Homo sapiens split off from other Homo genus groups.

Amphioxus


Since Charles Darwin’s view on natural selection and evolution, scientists have considered amphioxus to be an essential organism for understanding the origin of the vertebrates.
Amphioxus is part of a small group of creatures that Darwin characterized as ‘living fossils’ – species that are alive today but still are incredibly similar to their ancient fossilised ancestors – which are valuabe to scientists studying evolution and devolution.  Even though it may appear that these organisms have been trapped in an evolutionary time warp, in fact their DNA has been exposed to as many mutations as that of any other organism.

Poly Water

Some scientist in the U.S. have challenged the notion of Poly water's existence claiming that the various forms of speciall reactions is due to the fact that the water is merely normal water that has been contaminated with impurities that cause its unique contents. However, severely pain staking experiments that removed all impurities could not prevent the special reaction that makes Poly water unique from forming.

Animalistic Children

Even though the website may seem bogus it actually is an accurate site that informs viewers about Feral Chidlren. Feral children are kids who are isolated and abandoned. By societies standards Feral children are uncivilized, uncultred and many have never develop language or sufficent communication skills. Feral children have been documented as far back as the 11th century.
