    You know that evolution is not working this way.

    Majority of wild female mammals are dead long before oocytes are exhausted.

    But then why didn't they find it in a lot more animals then the ones mentioned in Wikipedia? If it's only due to aging then they should find it in many animals, past a certain age.

    They also found it in birds and fish.

    And menopause typically only happens in social species wher female members of the group assist in child rearing.

  2. How do you think menopause evolved? What evolutionary succes did it give?

    There are many theories, but no proven of course.

    They found it in many other animal species.

    "Menopause has been observed in several species of nonhuman primates,including rhesus monkeys andchimpanzees.Menopause also has been reported in a variety of other vertebrate species including elephants, short-finned pilot whales, iller whales, narwhals, beluga whales, the guppy, the platyfish the budgerigar the laboratory rat and mouse, and the opossum However, with the exception of the short-finned pilot whale, killer whale, narwhals, and beluga whales, such examples tend to be from captive individuals, and thus they are not necessarily representative of what happens in natural populations in the wild.

    Can any forum member make it simple to make me understand how did so many varieties of plants develop on the earth? 

    This huge variation is imo due to plant reproduction. Many plant species create a very big number of seeds(or whatever plants use to reproduce) In general, seeds are dispersed trough wind/gravity, water and/or animals.(The water lily for example  makes fruit that floats in the water for a while and then drops down to the bottom to take root on the floor of the pond.) This dispersing and the often huge number of seeds causes (all the time) many new plants to be created often in area's with a (slightly) different climate...which causes plants to adapt. This is imo a main reason for the huge variation of plants. I hope I explained this well.

    There are about 320 thousand species of plants, that's a big diversity :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant

    You probably shouldn't be using it for that long.

    I suggest you check with  your doctor.

    Thx for the reply.

    I've been taking Nasonex for a couple years when I started with Xylometazoline . My nasal vessels were too wide to breath freely, even with Nasonex.  There isn't much known about my disease by doctors. Most of them have never heard about my disease.

    Taking 'supplements ' is essential so I look up as much as I can.

    Thyroid hormones regulate cell metabolism and the high correlation between adrenaline release and disappearance rates of T3 and T4 after trauma suggests that adrenaline may in some way be connected to the fall in serum T3 and T4 concentrations .https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3766027https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4044302/

    Are you taking this because your doctor told you to?

    I take this because my nose was too 'blocked' to breath freely. Now I know it's causal related to energy/blood circulation. When I started with Xylometazoline it was winter and I didn't do much. If I did exercise, it might have been sufficient to open my nose.

  5. Today I learned bacterial pathogens have coevolved with humans in order to efficiently infect, replicate within, and be transmitted to new hosts to ensure survival and a continual infection cycle. For enteric pathogens, the ability to adapt to numerous host factors under the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract is critical for establishing infection. One such host factor readily encountered by enteric bacteria is bile, an innately antimicrobial detergent-like compound essential for digestion and nutrient absorption. Not only have enteric pathogens evolved to resist the bactericidal conditions of bile, but these bacteria also utilize bile as a signal to enhance virulence regulation for efficient infection.

  6. Neuroscientists have amassed more evidence for the hypothesis that sticky proteins that are a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases can be transferred between people under particular conditions — and cause new damage in a recipient’s brain.

    They stress that their research does not suggest that disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease are contagious, but it does raise concern that certain medical and surgical procedures pose a risk of transmitting such proteins between humans, which might lead to brain disease decades later.

    “The risk may turn out to be minor — but it needs to be investigated urgently,” says John Collinge, a neurologist at University College London

  7. I take Xylometazoline (adrenaline-like)to open the bloodvessels in my nose. After maybe 6 months of use I started to be warmer when I went to sleep then when I woke up. This was causal related to if I did sport/excercise. My heartbeat is also 'a lot' higher when I go to sleep then when I wake up.

    Logic dictates this warmth is related to a 'problematic metabolism', increased blood circulation/high hearth rate.

    How can an adrelanine look a like like Xylometazoline cause this?

    Where did you read that?

    On Wikipedia but I can't rediscover it.

    I just read this on quora: "Carbon monoxide (CO) is not considered a direct greenhouse gas, mostly because it does not absorb terrestrial thermal IR energy strongly enough. However, CO is able to modulate the production of methane and tropospheric ozone."

    Tri-atomic molecules can stretch and bend, or waggle, in such a way (asymmetrically) as to "resonate" with infrared wavelengths.  Di-atomic molecules can't move in such a way, always constrained to move symmetrically.

    Search: co2 vibrational modes animation.  I know there are you tubes of Prof. Denning, doing his 'waggle dance' showing how CO2 absorbs heat, using his head as the carbon and his upraised fists as the oxygen.

    Or just search 'infrared CO2 waggle' online.

    The symmetric stretch is not infrared active, and so this vibration is not observed in the infrared spectrum of CO2.”

    ~

    I've read CO absorbs infrared 3 times 'better' then CO2, how is that possible? Does the binding between C en O enable more radiant energy absorption because there is more 'vibrational space'? CH4 is also more potent then Co2...why?

    Is it correct to say that basically, vibrational nuclei are necessary  for absorption/emission infrared?

    Could all diseases start with the head?

    Obviously not. But you need the neurons in your brain to 'regulate' the rest of your body....If a piano falls on your leg then you probably break a leg. You need the neurons in your brain to translate the information into pain and to heal the broken leg.

    know about causation and correlation. The study has addressed this by explaining at the physiological level how stress leads to homosexuality.  

    Your sexual orientation is already set at birth. But external factors can have an influence. In many societies there is a homosexuality-discrimination. That's why many people suppress there natural needs which causes many people to show homosexuality on a later age.

    If a certain hair color is discriminated then you colour your hair until your society is 'ready'  to see your natural hair color. This is in a sense analogous to people covering up homosexuality.

    Many scientists see it as researchable, hence discussable. 

    Many scientists are religious….

    Homosexuality is present in many animal species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

    An homosexual animal has generally no offspring which enables him or her to take care/protect offspring of friends or family. Homosexual members can strengthen the family which causes evolutionary succes.

    Homosexuality is caused by the hypothalamus which is created in prenatal development.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development

  13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_of_evolution_by_religious_groups

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution

    If those data are correct (they can't be that far off) then it's frightening how many people deny evolution. (most of them believe in creationism)

    "According to the PEW research center, Afghanistan has the lowest acceptance of evolution in the Muslim countries. Only 26% of people in Afghanistan accept evolution. 62% deny human evolution and believe that humans have always existed in their present form"

    "The theory of evolution is a 'hard sell' in schools in Israel. More than half of Israeli Jews accept the human evolution while more than 40% deny human evolution & claim that humans have always existed in their present form"
