Nature isn't kind to the human body after death. Thankfully, the days of natural decomposition have been replaced by decidedly modern rituals of death. We can choose to delay the decomposition process by being embalmed, where our bodily fluids are replaced with preservatives. Or we can be cremated, where we are cooked at temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours while we turn to ash.
While our modern disposal rituals might not sound appealing, the process of nature composting us back into the Earth is even less so. Even earliest man knew how to put some distance between himself and his decomposing dead. In

A new, improved sequencing of ancient human relative genomes reveals that Homo sapiens didn't only have sex with Neanderthals and a little-understood line of humans called Denisovans. A fourth, mystery lineage of humans was in the mix, too.
As reported by the journal Nature, new genetic evidence suggests that several hominids — human relatives closer than humans' current living cousin, the chimpanzee — interbred more than 30,000 years ago. This group of kissing cousins included an unknown human ancestor not yet revealed by the ancient DNA record.

They look like a cross between a hedgehog, porcupine and anteater, but echidnas are a different sort of creature entirely. They're actually the only surviving members — along with the platypus — of an ancient clade of animals called monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.
Researchers are still learning new things about these weird but charismatic little beasts. Case in point, they've just discovered a secret superpower that echidnas possess that gives the animals the remarkable ability to survive wildfires, and the skill might help explain why mammals were

You're probably familiar with those scenes in wildlife documentaries where huge crocodiles lurch out of the water to snatch wildebeest and other large mammals that are trying to cross a river.

Life can be strange.
When you take all the living creatures in the world and mix in a healthy dose of time (measured in millennia) along with a strong shot of evolution, you get some bizarre life forms. Of course, even strange things take on the air of the familiar with enough exposure, which is why the truly weird forms of life are the ones we never lay eyes on.
But thanks to the power of the Internet, there aren't many creatures left on the planet that we haven't seen in photos. We pored over the great catalog of life and pulled out 17 animals that you

20 Clumsy Dogs Who Just Don’t Know How Gigantic They Are!

This post presents amusing pictures of big dogs, who do not have a clue that they are actually gigantic beings. Easily out-sizing their beloved humans, these dogs are huge obstacles in their domestic homes.
After all, the World Canine Organization (also known by its French title Fédération Cynologique Internationale) recognizes 339 breeds of dogs [1]. Furthermore, this is only the official record, there might be also unregistered breeds and mutts.
The diversity of  dog breeds and their manifold appearances is totally magnificent. From Great Danes to Chihuahuas, even though the differences are evident, scientists found that only a small number of genes actually account for different phenotypes [2].

40 Strange People You Could Never Believe Actually Exist!

If you think you have seen it all, take a look at this post. People you might have heard of in urban legends do actually exist. Here, we provide you the proof with this series of entertaining animations and photos.
The cool granny, who smokes weed and drinks booze? She actually exists! The ambitious guy taking his iMac to the coffee shop? He actually exists! The mighty McDonald’s wizard, who has a Big Mac up his sleeve? Yes, he actually exist!
The list could go on and on, but take look yourself and grab a laugh or two (or maybe forty). However, urban legends do not always originate from an urban setting. Moreover, urban legends did exist before they were known as urban legend. Previously, these legends or tales were referred to as “folklore”.
