Do animals have emotions?
The jury is out. Most experts believe that they do, but providing evidence of this is proving rather difficult. This is a surprisingly hard one. Humans are animals and we have emotions. So, yes, they do. BUT, do all animals have emotions. Humans have some unique qualities, especially related to our brains. Does this give us abilities and sensations that other animals do not have? Some parts of…

Bow Drills
One development that we have skipped over in this history of human technological development is the invention of the bow and arrow. That would have occurred way back in our history from where we are now (bizarrely, it was significantly earlier than the invention of string), around 48,000 years ago. The bow drill was an entirely different application for what was already a fairly familiar item.…

Matilda's Lab Hall of Fame: Tom Hanks
Who is he? Where have you been? Simply put, he’s one of the most high profile actors in the world, with so many well known roles in very well known movies. He’s also been known to make a few too. What is his science background? His portrayal of Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 opened up the world outside of our own to him. He has repeatedly come back to space exploration in the TV programmes that he…

Why are some living things brightly coloured?
In nature, bright colours are generally used to draw attention to yourself. Most living things want to be invisible to their predators or prey. If predators understand that you are bad for them, then you will want them to see you, so that don’t accidentally try to eat you. You may want to attract other members of your species, and using bright colours to do this, whilst avoiding predators, is a…

Matilda's Lab Hall of Fame: James Earl Jones
Who is he? He’s the voice of Darth Vader! But also, a highly acclaimed actor beyond providing the voice to one of the most culturally significant science fiction characters of all time. He is one of only a few actors to have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. He is true Hollywood royalty with achievements too wide and varied to list here. Ultimately, this section of the post is largely…

How and why do I Hiccup?
Hiccups are a type of spasm caused by irritation. It’s likely that they have a useful purpose, but no one knows what that is. There is no proven cure for hiccups. It’s a basic result of our body plan. Hiccups don’t just occur in humans, they are well documented across the mammals, but why? How does it happen, what is the point, and can we stop them? Hiccups are a form of spasm; a sudden and…

The stone age was the most enduring period in the history of our species and it is drawing to a close as the knowledge of smelting metals and mixtures of metals brings about technological revolution. Nothing heralds the oncoming of the Bronze Age as the discovery of bronze.

Toothpaste
Species that evolved to have longer lives often encounter challenges that never arise for those with a shorter mortal span. We’ve seen how Homo erectus had a prolonged childhood; something that is only of use if you intend to live for a long time afterwards, and indeed we find that members of this species did live into their sixties. Bite limitations There are various ways that our bodies…
