When Puppies Clash, the Boys Let the Girls Win
source:
When puppies play fight, the males will often let the females win, even when they have a physical advantage. A recent study found that boy puppies “self-handicap” in intra-sex grappling by giving their counterpart the chance to bite them in vulnerable positions, and by sometimes collapsing to the ground like they have been knocked out even though there was no contact. “We know that in...
Women Use a Squeakier Voice When Fertile
source:
A woman’s voice becomes squeakier during the time of month she is most fertile. Researchers at UCLA recorded 69 female college students and found their voices raise in pitch the nearer they are to when their eggs are released. This difference didn’t show up when the students made simple vowels sounds, only when they expressed the kind of complete thoughts that make up social interaction....

source:
Researchers at the National Institute of Health performed brain scans on 26 individuals, who were asked to think about God’s perceived emotion, God’s involvement in the world, and their knowledge of religious doctrine. Even though the group of volunteers consisted of believers and nonbelievers, the three thought scenarios ended up triggering the same three regions in the participants’...

source:
Studies have shown that when you check out someone else your eyes are most likely drawn to the right side of their face. Yet when gaze upon your own reflection your eyes are programmed to study what is actually the left side of your face. So unless you are blessed with a perfectly symmetrical visage, you don’t appear to others how you think you look. Researchers tested this by showing...

source:
Researchers scanned the brains of couples who had been together for at least 20 years, and others who had recently met. After being shown a picture of their mate, 10 percent of the older couples displayed the same burst of pleasure-producing dopamine as the new couples did. Previous research suggests that this giddy, can’t-keep-your-hands-off-each-other brain reaction starts to fade...

We Only Dream of What We Know
Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts – did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces – they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? The evil killer in your latest dream may be the guy who pumped petrol in to your Dad’s car when you were just a little kid. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of...
Where the !@#$ do I come from?
I’ve been wanting to take part in The National Geographic Genographic Project for what feels like 15 years. In reality, it’s probably been 1 and a half. Regardless, I find the whole project to be extremely interesting, and I wish i had the $99.95 (x2, if you want to chart both your maternal and paternal line) to blow in the name of scientific research and my own vain curiosity.
