Reply to New study suggests that music and dance may have evolved (in part) to deter potential predators: these "highly synchronized visual and auditory displays" signal to the predator that a) they have been detected, and b) the targeted group can mount a well-coordinated defense. by fotogneric
> a well-coordinated defense.
Clearly these researchers have never seen me dance

Yes it does. It's when the rich put their boxing gloves back on and resume pummeling the poor.

But I bet if you said "you can get a good buzz by mixing coca-cola and tide pods" we'd have a bunch of volunteer testers.

This one is perfect. We're keeping this one. The others have potential to be purrfect too, in the right circumstances. We need more in case they're perfect too.

Reply to comment by 420rolex in What is morality in the absence of religion? by mambosun_
Fairness is a product of moral judgement - we determine what is morally right, and what is morally wrong.
With that in mind, consider this: Scientists have discovered, through an inequity aversion task, that animals are able to detect unfairness and wrongful actions: https://www.oipa.org/international/animals-sense-of-fairness

Reply to Geomagnetic fields reveal that the army of Hazael, King of Aram-Damascus, was responsible for the destruction of several cities and that sites in Southern Judah were destroyed by the Edomites, who took advantage of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonians. by MyLifeisAsaJoker
> Scientific breakthrough: a joint study by TAU and the Hebrew University, involving 20 researchers from different countries and disciplines, has accurately dated 21 destruction layers at 17 archaeological sites in Israel by reconstructing the direction and/or intensity of the earth's magnetic field recorded in burnt remnants. The new data verify the Biblical accounts of the Egyptian, Aramean, Assyrian, and Babylonian military campaigns against the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
....
> "Based on the similarity or difference in intensity and direction of the magnetic field, we can either corroborate or disprove hypotheses claiming that specific sites were burned during the same military campaign. Moreover, we have constructed a variation curve of field intensity over time which can serve as a scientific dating tool, similar to the radiocarbon dating method."
