Next step in evolution? A technical life form that passes on knowledge and experience

Dutch biologist Gerard Jagers op Akkerhuis has developed the ‘operator hierarchy’ -- a system based on the complexity of particles and of organisms, which can predict the next step in evolution: a technical life form, that can pass on its knowledge and experience to the next generation.

Cows prefer silage containing red clover, which also boosts their milk production. New research conducted in Finland also discovered that silage made from grass in late summer is no comparison for the same silage made in early summer.

Most new farmland comes from cutting tropical forest, research shows

A new study shows that more than 80 percent of the new farmland created in the tropics between 1980 and 2000 came from felling forests, which sends carbon into the atmosphere and drives global warming. But the research team also noted that big agribusiness has largely replaced small farmers in doing most of the tree cutting in Brazil and Indonesia, which may make it easier to rein in the trend.

A new study looks at how living close to the border affects people, and whether borderland people are different from other people. The case in point is the Russians on the Kola Peninsula: Living in the high north, hailing from the south, and with Scandinavian neighbours within throwing distance across an increasingly permeable border. How do they view themselves?
Britain leads world for environmentally friendly burials

Britain is leading the world in green burials as more and more people decide to be laid to rest in woodlands, meadows, farmlands and other habitats which are rich in wildlife – and there are no laws preventing it as there are in many other countries. New research shows that people choose green burials because of sustainability, to be in a pleasant, peaceful place which means something to them, or because local cemeteries are full.
