Not exact matches

Humans are the only
mammals on the planet who suffer from post - partum depression
and post - partum psychosis - we are also the only
mammals on the planet who are drugged during birth, nurse by a clock, don't sleep with our babies, time our nursing sessions, supplement with formula, use pacifiers (
and a myraid of
other behaviors that disrupt ancient hormonal production during lactation).

humans are joining in.
Q: I apologize if this question sounds slightly prurient: What is the evolutionary purpose of the
human hymen,

The team determined that the fecal samples were from
humans because
other mammals, such as wolves

But another sequence, the gene's so - called unidentified domain (UD), appears to have changed extremely rapidly in

Agree,

and a political norm that treats people with respect
and does not manipulate our rather weak animal brains (we are genetically very close to all
other mammals, who is surprised a dog runs in a pack — then you shouldn't be surprised
humans do too)-- of course I truly believe that is beyond us
and our current limited evolution, we are just talkin» dogs — so... lets dream on
and hope we can get better despite our great organic limitations.
And then when you consider that (1) humans are a tiny percentage of the total animal biomass on Earth — probably well under 1 % — and that most animals emit more CO2 on a per - pound - of - body - weight than humans do (especially small mammals and birds, which can emit 6 times or more CO2 per pound of body weight than humans)-- you're now looking at SEVERAL HUNDRED BILLION TONS OF CO2 from animal reespiration alone — on top of all the other natural sources of C
