They've found neanderthals between 40-55 years of age. They didn't seem to live as long as anatomically modern humans. Ramses II was 90 at his death. Lack of modern medical care and nutritional deficiencies made the average lifetime shorter for ancient man, but there's no evidence that our...

In a stable climate, the occasional bad storm is worth the risk for the commercial advantage of a port. In a stable climate...

Biden managed to completely out-negotiate the republicans on the budget talks. Some of them were even honest enough to admit it. Yes. It completely blows the "doddering old man" story out of the water, doesn't it? Republicans seem unable to decide whether he's an evil genius or losing...
