Immortality only 20 years away says scientist

Computerworld — In 30 or 40 years, we'll have microscopic machines traveling through our bodies, repairing damaged cells and organs, effectively wiping out diseases. The nanotechnology will also be used to back up our memories and personalities. In an interview with Computerworld , author and futurist Ray Kurzweil said that anyone alive come 2040 or 2050 could be close to immortal.

The Cavemen's Complex Kitchen

Stone Age cooking. Researchers suspect that our ancestors knew how to make flour out of plants such as cattail ( inset ) 20,000 years before agriculture emerged.

"team has discovered ancient starch grains on grinding tools buried at three prehistoric settlements in the valleys and floodplains of Italy, Russia, and the Czech Republic. The researchers calculated the ages of the artifacts by carbon dating charcoal found in the same layers. The oldest samples were from the Russian site and roughly 32,000 years old" by simo88 Jan 28

The remains are the earliest evidence of ritualized blood sacrifice and mutilation of children that has so far been seen in the South American Andes, according to study leader Haagen Klaus .
