In LiveScience.com, Ker Than reports that anthropologist Lynne Isbell thinks that snakes and primates have a long history of trying to outsmart each other. Could the early writers of the Bible have intuited this?

Fossil and DNA evidence shows that snakes were already in the world 100 million years ago when the first mammals evolved. Primates are among the few animals with eyes that face forward, since most animals have eyes on the sides of their heads). Forward-facing eyes are what gives us the ability to see in 3-D, just as having two ears allows us to hear in stereo.

We’re still trying to solve the mystery of the mysterious nuclear necklace of King Tut. Prehistoric humans roamed the Sahara, which is now the world’s largest desert, for thousands of years before it became a desert. There are isolated ruins in the area that suggest that there may have been settled communities at one time, perhaps even extensive lost civilizations, although nothing on the scale of the Egypt of the Pharaohs.

A marvelous interview with Fred Alan Wolf, the star of “What the Bleep do We Know” about–guess what–time travel! The first question he asks Fred comes from Fred’s book ‘Dr. Quantum’s Little Book of Big Ideas’ where he says that work on memory can lead to remembering not only the past but the future. Whit asks him, “Explain that.” And the show takes off like a rocket! Don’t miss a word. Then Linda on the incredible, explosive crop circle season unfolding in the UK.

Anne Strieber talks to Fred Alan Wolf about the connection between the living and the dead, psychics and mediums, and what, if anything, this might have to do with quantum physics. Anne suggests that mediums might actually travel to a parallel universe where the dead people they contact AREN’T DEAD–and Fred takes that one on with results that will open your mind in a whole new way. Don’t miss this wonderful exchange between a post-near-death experiencer and budding psychic, and the ONE physicist out there who understands the realities behind such things, Fred Alan Wolf.
