The Science Behind Relationships; Humans Media explores the basis of our attraction, contempt, why we do what we do and to whom we do it.

Unnatural Experiments
In the dimly lit corridors of the Forsythe Institute for Advanced Biotechnology, Dr. Victoria Langley pursued her relentless fascination with defying the natural order. Her experiments, shrouded in secrecy, had gained a reputation for their ethically ambiguous nature. But it was her work on chimeras—creatures combining genetic material from multiple species—that had garnered the most disturbing rumors.

The Intricate Dance of Stress and Health
The Intricate Dance of Stress and Health: Exploring the Multifaceted Effects on Body and Mind In the realm of human experience, stress emerges as a ubiquitous companion, one that accompanies challenges and overbearing demands. It is more than a fleeting emotion, delving deep into our physiological essence. Stress is a primal response, a symphony of intricate physical reactions coursing through our bodies. This phenomenon, though temporarily advantageous, becomes a double-edged sword when persistently triggered. The fight-or-flight stress response, designed to protect, transforms into a mechanism that both alters the brain's architecture and disrupts the harmony of other organs and cells.

Why do People Dream?
In the third millennium BCE, rulers in Mesopotamia documented and deciphered their dreams on tablets made of wax. A thousand years later, the ancient Egyptians compiled a dream manual containing over a hundred common dreams and their interpretations. Since then, our fascination with the purpose of dreaming has persisted. Despite extensive scientific research, technological advancements, and unwavering determination, we have yet to find definitive answers. However, we have developed some intriguing theories.

America's Nuclear Arsenal: A Precarious Balance Between Legacy and Laxity
In the pages of history, few fears have woven themselves as deeply into our collective psyche as the looming threat of nuclear annihilation. While recent times might have dulled our sense of imminent danger, it wasn't long ago that the world was ensnared in the chilling grasp of the atomic bomb. Yet, unsettling revelations paint a different picture – a reality where the United States grapples with possessing the power to obliterate while struggling to ensure the basic upkeep and security of its own nuclear weapons.

Evolutionary Proof. Content Warning.
Your body is a temple, but it also has a museum of natural history. Look closely and you'll see parts that aren't there because you need them but because your animal ancestors did. No longer serving their previous function but not costly enough to have disappeared, these remnants of our deep history only make sense within the framework of evolution by natural selection. With your arm on a flat surface, push your thumb against your pinky and tip your hand slightly up. If you see a raised band in the middle of the wrist, you've got a vestigial muscle in your forearm. That tendon you see connects to the Palmaris longus, a muscle that around 10-15% of people are missing on one or both of their arms. It doesn't make them any weaker though. There's no difference in grip strength. In fact, it's one of the first tendons that surgeons will take out so they can use it in reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. You can find the Palmaris longus across mammal species, but it's most developed among those that use their forelimbs to move around. In primates, that means the muscle is longer in lemurs and monkeys and shorter in chimps, gorillas, and other apes that don't do a lot of scrambling through trees. It's not the only leftover muscle that we've got. Look at the three that are attached to our outer ear. We can't get much movement out of these muscles, especially compared to some of our mammal relatives who use them to locate the sources of sounds. Presumably this would have been quite helpful for early nocturnal mammals.

Whoa, That's Cool
We live in what is probably the fastest moving and most connected time in all of our planet’s history. If you are anything like me you probably have taken living on this planet for granted at least once and most likely don't really think about how amazing the things we have really are. If you are reading this you have an amazing life, one that probably surpasses most other human’s in our history. Yes, I know you most likely have struggles and hardships that you go through and your life is far from perfect. However, compared to what others in the past and even today go through you are very well off. Just think of it like this you are connected to the entire world within just a few presses of buttons and have access to any piece of knowledge you could ever need or want. Now think about if just one person had that kinda information 100 years ago. It would be mind-blowing, but now we don't even take the time to think about what we really have.

AI Regulation: Striking the Balance"
In contemplating the vexing question of whether the government should meddle in the affairs of artificial intelligence, one is irresistibly drawn into the abyss of ethical and existential quandaries. Much like the characters in my own literary opus, let us embark upon a profound exploration of this topic, where the human soul and the march of progress converge in a tumultuous narrative.
