+ add your ownI LOVE A GOOD MYSTERY!
The chicken/egg question is easily solved if you believe in the bible. God created chickens, not eggs!
Thank you for the answers to these unsolved mysteries!! Pretty interesting!!
IMHO, the chicken/egg mystery will largely depend on whether you are thinking on a typical bird egg, or in any kind of egss. If one is not limitimg him/herself to your standard bird egg, then just by looking at the phylogenetics it is clear that the egg came first.
I haven't read the British scientist's conclusions, but it really seems a bit pointless if their result is not the aftermath of a deeper investigation focusing in something else. I spent 8 years working with eggs for my doctorate, and there are really issues more relevant and practical, both for humans and the species whose eggs you're studying, than this.
I still think the egg came first, otherwise where did the chicken come from?
"His research has found that the frequency range between 2,000 and 4,000 hertz, where the human ear is most sensitive, is where many sounds perceived as unpleasant fall"
Sorry... what?
We already knew it was "unpleasant".
The question is, WHY are sounds within those range so unpleasant as to be unbearable?
There has to be a reason, and that reason is the real mystery here.
Still unsolved, I see?
I prefer the hypothesis that we live on Atlantis. Think about it, the Americas were not known at the time of the Atlantis story, but every now and then people stumbled upon them. Relative to the time period, they had advanced civilizations (look at the step pyramids). And sure enough, if you went East from Europe, you would find a giant continent that nobody knew was there. The problem is that we try to put it into a modern context where we already know about it and have civilizations far more advanced than there were at the time of those stories, so we went yet another continent with even more advanced civilization.
THANKS FOR SHARING!
