Yeah there has been a lot of that and it's a shame as it makes engineers and serious researchers into the various mysteries of the Great Pyramid look like cranks.

This is so interesting I feel it could be true. So much is just not adding up. I watched the election and all those states flipping after they stopped counting.
I just watched this as well. God help America if Trump does win because there will be a civil war and it will have been engineered
So the character 'Pepper' in American Horror Story: Freak Show was very obviously based on him.

Why Hominins lost their fur.
The evolution off Human persistent hunting was quite literally the stuff nightmares for their prey. Just imagine tall, slender creatures slowly chasing you forever until you die from exhaustion and dehydration.
You can try and outrun them for now, but they’re still coming and there’s nothing at all that you can do to stop them.
They must have seemed like Terminators (which of course they were as we are).

I love that, I think we were taught this in school....if not I read it myself when I was young, in any case it stayed with me.
Very wise words.

Another masterpiece from the Woke's favourite current Victorian target.
The Female of the Species -
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail. For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man, He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail. For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws, They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws. ’Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale. For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man’s timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say, For the Woman that God gave him isn’t his to give away; But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the other’s tale— The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man, a bear in most relations—worm and savage otherwise,— Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise. Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.
Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low, To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe. Mirth obscene diverts his anger—Doubt and Pity oft perplex Him in dealing with an issue—to the scandal of The Sex!
But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same; And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail, The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.
She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast May not deal in doubt or pity—must not swerve for fact or jest. These be purely male diversions—not in these her honour dwells. She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.
She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate. And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.
She is wedded to convictions—in default of grosser ties; Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies!— He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild, Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights, Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites, Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw And the victim writhes in anguish—like the Jesuit with the squaw!
So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands To some God of Abstract Justice—which no woman understands.
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him Must command but may not govern—shall enthral but not enslave him. And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail, That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.
