(Natural News) Back in December, Tony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sent $205,562 to Scripps Research to convert innocent monkeys into transgenders. The alleged purpose of the research was to identify why transgender “women” experience high rates of HIV, which is something that Fauci knows a lot about as a longtime […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal PNAS suggests that apes can understand each other’s mental states, such as desires, beliefs and false beliefs about reality. This ability, called the theory of mind, was once thought to be unique to humans. It’s described as a cognitive skill that allowed a person to decipher what others think or feel […]

(Natural News) Scientists have long considered capuchin monkeys to be one of the most intelligent monkeys in the world. These small primates have been observed using tools in their natural habitat in the wild. A recent study by archaeologists in Brazil shows that this tool use has been part of the capuchin’s history for much […]

(Natural News) Of all the primates, none are more closely related to humans than chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). In taxonomy, both species are classified as hominins, and studies have shown that they share similar life cycles and underlying biology. The two species get even closer in terms of DNA: The results of a genome sequence in […]

(Natural News) A new French study recommended that human populations reduce their interaction with wild animals, especially primates like apes and monkeys. Reducing contact with animals decreases the risk of contracting a zoonotic disease that might develop into an epidemic. One of the perils to human health comes from disease-causing microbes that usually live in animals but are capable of infecting […]

(Natural News) “Frankenscientists” hailing from the communist “paradise” of China have successfully inserted human brain genes into live monkeys, creating a real life “Planet of the Apes” scenario with the world’s first half-human, half-ape hybrid being. Using a special gene-editing technique they developed, the Chinese researchers were able to “enhance” the brain capacity of rhesus […]

(Natural News) Social group size has nothing to do with the evolutionary process that increased the human brain’s size, a new study reveals. The scientific community has previously believed that the expansion of peer-to-peer and social interaction, more commonly known as the social brain hypothesis, may have contributed to the increase in brain size by enabling early humans […]

(Natural News) Cloning has been – and probably always will be – one of the most important scientific discoveries made by humans. It has been a major fascination for at least half a dozen generations now, even if it may never be used directly on people because of the social, political, moral, and ethical concerns surrounding […]

(Natural News) When we want a natural cure, many of us look to traditional medicine. While the remedies used by ancient people across the world often prove to be valuable tools for healing, there might be one potential source of herbal medicine that we are overlooking: animals. Orangutans have been observed in the wild creating […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in PLOS ONE has revealed that common marmosets born to responsive fathers have a greater likelihood of surviving during their first 30 days and are more likely to exhibit better weight gain after weaning from their mother’s milk. The study, carried out by a team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, focused on […]
