New Brain-Machine Interface Taps Human Smarts to Enhance Computers' Abilities, Instead of Vice Versa | Popular Science
The Adult Visual Cortex Neurons in the brain's visual pathway can transmit images to the brain faster than the conscious mind can assess them. But hook a computer to that brain and its visual pathway becomes a supercharged analysis tool Nrets via Wikimedia

Implant Harnesses Electricity From Consumed Food
For the first time, scientists have successfully implanted a biofuel cell that generates power from glucose inside a body—an everlasting battery you could theoretically recharge by eating a Snickers bar.Until now, all other artificial heart transplants were just temporary relief. A 15 year old boy from Italy became the first person to receive a permanent artificial heart, due to the Duchenne syndrome which was wasting his muscles away.

Immortality only 20 years away says scientist - Telegraph
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.

Ancient "Fossil" Virus Shows Infection to Be Millions of Years Old: Scientific American
INFECTIOUS INSERTIONS: Today's songbirds are harboring traces of ancient viral strains in their genomes, giving researchers a new understanding of the disease's age and evolutionary history. Image: ISTOCKPHOTO/GLOBAL IPIn sediment traces and fossil records from one of Earth’s most tumultuous periods, geologists have found a narrative linking mass extinctions with planetary biological and geological change.

The Cavemen's Complex Kitchen - ScienceNOW
"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 Jan 28

"traveling effecting at personal scale" - personal travel methods, which can have impact on human at personal scale (wheel, bicycle, car, personal widespread jetpack, helicopter for daily use, etc.). althougt it may be going to tech tree ;). that transhumanism is more readily found from singularity one pearl down. by simo88 Feb 14
I tend to think of biotech as fitting in a "transhumanism" category, which could go into evolution, have to check whether I've added transhumanism to the tree yet, if not, I'll add it now. Not sure what you mean by "traveling effecting at personal scale".Would you say more? by dcoda Jan 27
space subjects moved to space in one down (how about traveling effecting at personal scale). also biotech related evolution is already in and more or less fits to evolution concept. ? by simo88 Jan 25
This one is about biological evolution, developments in other areas are posted under terms like history, personal development, culture change, psychology, brain/mind, etc. by dcoda Jan 25
