I've asked a similar question on Answers before, but it is still bothering me. Apparently we humans have a reptilian brain at the core, overlaid with a mammalian brain, on top of which is the neo cortex which is concerned with higher levels of thinking and consciousness. Assuming that we have these diverse elements in our brain as a result of evolution, how can a reptile evolve into a mammal? The reptile method of reproducing is by laying eggs which hatch outside the parent's body. Obviously as mammals we give birth to live young which we suckle. How can we evolve from one method of reproduction to the other by small incremental steps as the theory of evolution claims? Anything in between would not be viable as a way of creating the next generation, which would not survive and hence not breed. It offends my sense of logic, could someone please explain?

could you please tell me what people mean when they type "kkkk" to express laughter. Scientifically, are there homo sapiens who actually utter sounds similiar to "kkk" when they laugh?

This has been troubling me deeply.

I can't believe people are slatting the McCann's, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? No-one knows what they would act like or what they would do if they ever lost a child, I think they could be forgiven if they are not doing everything everyone thinks they should be! Could you think straight? I think they are guilty of not looking after Maddie properly, just going out and only checking on her every half hour, but no-one deserves to lose a child! There are a lot of you that think the McCann's have done something to Maddie but none of you are coming up with reasonable explanations for your arguments! If it was me, I wouldn't stop the campaigns until I had my daughter found and the people responsible brought to justice. As for people that are giving the McCann's money to fund this, thats up to them who they give their money to. The truth is always going to come out, and if no-one can come up with a reasonable explanation for your suspicions, keep them to yourself.

Round about 13 years ago when I was learning archeology I read some where that the Army corps of engineers had Archeologists assigned to them or had a unit of Archeologists.

I am wondering if this is still true and if so if the position is/was a civilian or a military one.

I am also wondering if any one has more information about the “Human Terrain System” and what qualifications are necessary to participate (i.e. is it standard Military requirements , or do they make exceptions for civilians).

I found a number of sites breaking down the principles behind the project but nothing about the entry requirements, but any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

I was given a baby squirrel 2 weeks old...So being an animal lover, hand reared the little thing...It has become this beautiful tame (unfortunately) 8 week old now, and at the end of this month it is going to be rehabilitated to be released into the wild by March next year. The woman who is doing it has a male squirrel waiting for her, so I am very pleased, and don't believe in keeping a wild animal. I have done my bit, but wht is worrying me, is can an animal go wild again, after it has become so tame, and even plays with my chihuahua. I try not to let this happen, but it has, please put my mind at ease.....

My wife and I have been invited to a Black-tie optional formal dinner party. I’ve been asked to give a 2 min speech, and my Doctor will be awarded a Global Leadership Award. We’ve never been to a formal event before, and we don’t know proper etiquette. Worst, there’s gonna be lots of doctors, some media people, and high ranking others there. I know nothing about medicine! What type of conversation can I have with a doctor? What type of conversations should we try to indulge in, and how long should they last? What should I wear, (we don’t have much), and how should we act? They paid for a car rental, hotel stay, and food. Please help me out. We don’t want to stand out too much! Thanks
