  1. I don't think it's hoax. I mean... that is rather paranoid thinking. Like subscribing to a conspiracy theory. I've come to accept that the majority of websites which are critiques of the pyramids are in fact pseudo cranks themselves.

     

    If anything... Perhaps it's overambitious people who have misinterpreted it wrong.

     

    This is an interesting alternative theory regarding the pyramids being an old roman fortification of sorts.

     

    By hoax I mean, they aren't pyramids. At least not in the classical sense. :confused:

     

    The much-touted “ancient inscriptions” seem not to be ancient at all. I was told by a reliable source that the inscriptions were not there when members of the “pyramid team” initially entered the tunnels less than two years ago. The “ancient inscriptions” had been added since, perhaps non-maliciously, or perhaps as a downright hoax.[22]

     

    In return Dr Schoch's website documents "extreme damage being done by the way the excavations are being performed," and accuses Osmanagić of launching "a deliberate smear campaign."[24]

     

    I don't see any reason to believe they are in fact pyramids, they might be archaeological sites but they are not pyramids as far as I can see.

    Have you read the Wikipedia article?

  2. Wikipedia on Bosnian pyramids:

    "Scientific investigations of the site show there is no pyramid.[1][2][3] Additionally, scientists have criticised the Bosnian authorities for supporting the pyramid claim saying, "This scheme is a cruel hoax on an unsuspecting public and has no place in the world of genuine science."[4]

     

    Osmanagić has claimed that the dig involved an international team of archaeologists from Australia, Austria, Bosnia, Scotland and Slovenia.[5] However, many archaeologists he named have stated they had not agreed to participate and were never at the site.[6]"

     

    It seems controversial. I think I smell hoax.

  3. Could it be that women being sexually suppressed in the past have kept quieter when asked about their libidos and thus have created a false image to medicine?

    On the other side doctors in the past were mostly men and thus failed to care or were embarrassed asking women for their libido levels?

    It could also be that women are more stealth when turned on as opposed to men :)

     

    I'm confused as well, because I have a really high libido as well, as high as my boyfriend normally, but higher sometimes.

  4. Change in environment is one of the major catalysts in making a species go through some form of adaptation, adaptation to make the species (more) suitable to living in the environment. If that can't be done; extinct. Like you so rightly expressed.

     

    Basically any change in the environment the species is in directly affects it, because evolution is such a long event compared to our lifespans it may not be noticeable. Though obviously extinction can be a very fast chain of events lasting even a few years, adaptation on the other hand is slower paced, usually.

     

    Think of the shark/ray split.

  5. Hi, I'm studying Computer Science in my 3rd year at a UK university (I'm a girl just to break any stereotype you may have been forming). I have a particular interest in Cognitive Science, Evolution, Computer Science (obviously) and Human Biology but I find most things interesting.

    I found this site on Google and started reading and can't stop at the moment. I think I like this place.
