Reverse human evolution plausible, testable, U.S. biologist says: May 10, 8:44pm 1 review evolution
http://www.world-science.net/exclusives/060306_reversfrm.htm; Evolutionary change is not a step ladder, there is no such thing as "reverse evolution" in the scientific sense.

Natural Health Articles - Health News and Information by Dr. Joseph Mercola: May 5, 11:28pm 2 reviews health
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/current.aspx; The articles here are generally of dubious quality, avoid. As an example, they advocate raw foods because the enzymes are supposedly not destroyed. This is absolute nonsense. Enzymes generally denature quickly from these sources, hence why when we work with enzymes that do indeed reside in these foods, WE WORK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND KEEP THE SAMPLES ON ICE, WITH A SUITABLE BUFFER. Otherwise any enzymes are quickly made useless, never mind when that food enters your stomach at a cozy ~100 degrees with ph 1-2 acid which destroy the overwhelming majority of enzymes.

And then there's good old-fashioned pseudoscience, revisionist history and paranoia. From the page: "From the very beginning, the people behind the AMA were not about protecting your health; they were interested in gaining power and getting rich." and....

"And yet, it wasn't that long ago that the AMA was still in the minority. People didn't trust this new conglomeration, because in the 19th century, most Americans thrived on more natural approaches like homeopathic medicine. "

I guess that explains why they had such short lifespans, they were "thriving" themselves to death...

Mathematical mysteries: Survival of the nicest?: May 5, 2:43pm 8 reviews evolution
http://plus.maths.org/issue19/xfile/index.html; It never ceases to amaze me how many people are utterly shocked that evolution would favor cooperation in a situation where the whole benefits. It's very simple really, organisms that cooperate in groups tend to do much better in many circumstances than individual, loner, leachers do. It then stands to reason that this being the case, organisms that were more cooperative/altruistic toward the whole in general do better over time as they reap the benefits of living in a community which significantly out weigh any costs of altruism over time.
