Thanks to an Arab fan for the link and summary of the Al-Jazeerah article
==============================
Ardi proves Darwin wrong!!
Imagine that CNN surprisingly announces that Darwin has been proven wrong and that new evidence has emerged which cancels all the ideas regarding evolution. Well this is exactly what happened in the Arabian version of Al-Jazeerah, the most respected news agency in the Arab world.
"American scientists have provided new evidence that shows that Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection is wrong, this was shown through a study on human origins done by scientists from Kent Uni. & Uni of California on the oldest known evidence for humans on earth, which is an Ethiopian human skeleton 4 million years old named Ardi"
This opening paragraph of the article just drips with scientific ignorance and being an Arab myself makes me ashamed when reading it. If this were a news agency like FOX News I would really understand but this is the most non-biased Arabic speaking news agency you can find and this makes me scared.
What's even more interesting is that when I opened to the English version of Al-Jazeerah to share this article with you, there was no mention of this incredible finding, it was just on the Arabic pages. Also there was this wonderful comment by an Arabic so called scientist; "...the westerners seemed to return to their senses after having dealt with the origin of humanity in a materialistic way while denying what religion says".
We're far away, very far behind,
An Arabian freethinker

The living fossils of brain evolution
- - PhysOrg.com 4 Comments
(Phys.org) -- In the course of its evolution, the architecture of the mouse brain may have barely changed. Similar to the tiny ancestors of modern mammals that lived about 80 million years ago, nerve cells in the mouse visual cortex are densely packed in a small area of the brain. However, during the subsequent evolution of larger brains the architecture of the cerebral cortex was radically restructured. This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers led by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, the University of Göttingen and the Bernstein Center Göttingen. The brains of larger mammals, such as humans, however, have a completely different structure to those of mice. Processes of self-organisation led to the emergence of modules in which neurons conjointly are responsible for specific tasks.
