And as a great companion video to the Vsauce post, ASAPScience asks if we can improve not our Strength or Speed, but our Intelligence through genetic means, and what people are already doing about it.
The core of their idea is based on The Cognitive Genomics Project, Big Data & Gene Therapy…

In this video, VSauce gets into the DNA-Techy meat of the most serious self-improvement question imaginable:
Forget the Deepak Chopra Aisle at the Barnes & Noble, -Can we make ourselves better or even Superhuman by using genetic alterations like in the game BioShock?
Well, the Michael Stevens-less host Jake Roper goes on with a little help from ASAPScience to ask those questions and find the supporting research on things like Speed, Strength and Smarts.
Typical Vsauce kookiness, and Worth a watch…

Though not as cutely-illustrated as ASAPScience’s stuff, Michael Stevens of VSauce goes into some interesting depth and detours here about the science and evolution of kissing.
Some of what he covers in this vid include: Kissing is healthy for us, it’s probably been used as a “Taste Test” part of mate-selection for well; -ever, Don’t go all Silverstone but Kissing was probably used for the world’s first and maybe healthiest baby-food, and into the darker areas of science,…

In the changeable and often contrarian field of evolutionary psychology, especially the bits involving our most powerful hormone, there’s an interesting new development about an old truth.
That old code among men who are friends about each others’ wives and girlfriends may have evidence in actual fact.
Most of the headlines are focusing on the hormone, but of-course, this is really a story about Evolution.
It would seem to make sense that historically, tribes…

As a bitter salve to help those of you who’ve skipped the Asparagus and are saddled with abjectly-Dickensian hangovers in the timesmudge loosely referred-to as “today”, I’d like to rub a little salt in your wounds and make it all go away.
Now the nickname could have gone one of many ways: ‘Dict, Shooter, Dragonbreath, Substance, Bender, or Sniffles.
(Cockroach has been reserved for Keith Richards for DECADES Centuries, now.)
But ultimately, it seemed prudent to just go with the obvious old stand-by.
Anyway: That’s right boys and girls. It turns out The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne himself, is a Mutant…

Supertaskers Are The Real Multi-Taskers:
Take THAT!, Anti-MultiTasker-science-studying bastard-guys! HAH!
Ever since the first studies emerging about Multitasking being a productivity+accuracy-killing time-waste, I both cheered and booed, believed and doubted.
I cheered for Focus, I cheered for Reasonable Expectations in the Workplace.
But my Evolutionary Brain was Booing and calling BOGUS!!!
I remember thinking about Gordon Ramsay. The first thing that came to mind was, “CHRIST, WHAT AN A****LE!!!”…

Unfortunately, the backlash would be too great. -But there really should be a TV show called, “Women Say The Darndest Things!” :D
Just because there is much published about what women Say, as opposed to what they actually Do.
And those are two very different things.
But for the time being, a few scientists, who probably don’t get out much, have published another, in the long cavalcade war of attempts to scrute the inscrutable female, and what attracts them to men. [ed: Yes. This is the worst, most jump-teasing excerpt I’ve ever written. My apologies. …-But I’m still keeping it this way. :D ]…
