Canadian Irish conjoined twins likely share the same mind Tatiana (left) and Krista Hogan at home in British Columbia, Canada, with mom Felicia Hogan, left, and grandmother Louise McKay. Photo by: ABC News Conjoined four-year-old Irish Canadian twins, Krista and Tatiana Hogan, are making scientific history. The sisters from British Columbia share a mind. From the very beginning doctors noticed something strange about the girls. When one was being pricked with a needle the other’s face would be a mirror image or her sister’s; wincing and bursting into tears. This is not to say that they are like many sets of twins who experiences similar feelings or emotions at the same time. Having observed the twins behavior, studied scans and examined their brain’s biology doctors believe that their brains are linked, from one thalmus to another. Krista and Tatiana are joined by the head, in medical terms this is known as craniopagus. The twins were born, healthy at 34 weeks. James T. Their connection goes right down to their taste buds.

This Is Called Humanity From an intense year of ups and downs - is there any other kind? - a review of Reddit's 20 most popular photos. And our three favorites, including this one of Christians protecting Muslims at prayer during Egyptian protests. In Fukushima, a group of retirees volunteered to clean up radiation because they figured they had less time to lose. And the only Caucasian in that part of town found this on his windshield. Göbekli Tepe By Charles C. Mann Photograph by Vincent J. Every now and then the dawn of civilization is reenacted on a remote hilltop in southern Turkey. The reenactors are busloads of tourists—usually Turkish, sometimes European. Before them are dozens of massive stone pillars arranged into a set of rings, one mashed up against the next. At the time of Göbekli Tepe's construction much of the human race lived in small nomadic bands that survived by foraging for plants and hunting wild animals. Archaeologists are still excavating Göbekli Tepe and debating its meaning. At first the Neolithic Revolution was viewed as a single event—a sudden flash of genius—that occurred in a single location, Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now southern Iraq, then spread to India, Europe, and beyond.

Wildlife photography award winners: Gorilla makes friends with duckling By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 11:06 GMT, 9 June 2011 It was a scene that perhaps wouldn't have made the final cut of King Kong. This lowland gorilla shares a moment of quiet reflection with a tiny mallard duckling, who seems fairly nonplussed about being in the presence of one of nature's most powerful beasts. The heart-warming image is among Nature's Best Photography Magazine's wildlife photograph winners for 2010. A stunning image of a frolicking bear in the woods and a dramatic scene of a hummingbird facing down a deadly viper were also among the winners of the competition, which received more than 25,000 entries. The awards began with simple yet dynamic goals: to celebrate the beauty and diversity of nature through the art of photography, and to use it as a creative tool for encouraging greater public interest in outdoor enjoyment and conservation.
