  The myth of the 'paleo diet' and what the science say

  21 Feb 2024

  The paleolithic diet, also known as "paleo diet", the Stone Age diet, or the caveman diet, has gained popularity in recent years as a way to eat healthier and lose weight. The idea behind this diet is that modern humans should eat as their prehistoric ancestors did, before agriculture and animal husbandry became common practices. According to proponents of the paleolithic diet, our bodies are genetically adapted to eat the same foods as our hunter-gatherer ancestors, and that by doing so, we can avoid many of the chronic diseases that affect people today.However, the scientific evidence behind the paleolithic...

  Only in the first months of last year, four states in North America studied laws to authorize the teaching of creationist theories in science class. And is that, despite the scientific consensus around Darwinism, human evolution remains a controversial issue in much of the world. Therefore, many scientists are dedicated to pursuing strategies to better convey evolutionary ideas and make them stop in a reluctant society. It is true that this problem is especially strong in the US where 42% of the population believes that man was created as it is today. But that is precisely what is helping...

  Darwin's theory of evolution confirmed: the moth changes color to adapt to the environment

  29 Aug 2018

  Scientists from the University of Exeter (United Kingdom) have shown that the spotted moth, also known as 'Darwin's moth' for having been identified as an evolutionary example, uses its color to better camouflage itself from the birds that feed on them, which caused them to darken when industrial pollution blackened British forests in the nineteenth century. "It is one of the most emblematic examples of evolution, but fiercely attacked by creationists who seek to discredit the theory of evolution," says Martin Stevens, of the Center for Ecology and Conservation of the Penryn Campus of the University of Exeter. The...
