The flaws of such experiments led evolutionary anthropologist Brian Hare to develop a more naturalistic,
 In his experiments, Hare set up enclosures containing two chimps, one at either end. He placed food in the centre.
 In one instance, Hare allowed a dominant and a subordinate chimp to watch as he put food in the middle.
Then Hare added a twist: when the dominant chimp was replaced with a second dominant who hadn't seen the food oe all she could see was opaque barriers oe the subordinate had no problem gobbling it down.

If a chicken sits in front of two small opaque screens, and one ball disappears behind the first screen,
when you consider that the chicken in question is only three days old. And it can do a lot more than add up.
the chicken is faced now with two tasks. It must add two to one, and know that there are now three balls behind the first screen.
The young chicken must overcome its initial impulse to approach the second screen, which initially hid four balls,
Infant chickens correctly approached the screen hiding more balls nearly 80%of the time. Chimpanzees perform even better in their maths tests,
African buffalo (Syncerus cafer) are large bovines distantly related to domestic cows that can be found grazing in forests, grasslands and swamps across the African continent.
Food patches vary for African buffalo, based on previous grazing history by the herd as well as by other species
David Sloan Wilson quotes a buffalo expert named H. H. T. Prins, who wrote about an odd pattern in
Wilson notes that Prins spent two years watching the buffalo before realising that this simple stretching behaviour was actually a means of registering one's vote.
A few moments later, everywhere in the herd buffalo start trekking. The exciting thing is that they start trekking, at the beginning independently of each other, in the same direction.
the female buffalo were actually casting their votes to indicate the direction they wished to travel.
Unlike the Tonkean macaques, only the adult female African buffalo are allowed to vote. But like the monkeys, all adult females vote regardless of their position within the dominance hierarchy.
and the least dominant African buffalo get an equal say in making group decisions that directly impact their own survival.

Which Came First The Chicken or the Egg Which came first the chicken or the egg?
One of the most puzzling and famous life questions has stumped people for generations. Its the question of which came first:
the chicken or the egg? In order for there to be an egg, a chicken would have had to lay it.
In order for there to be a chicken, it would have had to hatch from an egg.
It seems as though either answer could be the correct answer; until now. Dr. Colin Freeman from Sheffield University along with colleagues from Warwick University have figured it all out.
Chickens were chosen as their test subjects simply because the protein was easy to study. The study began
and it took weeks for HECTOR to figure out how chickens make eggshells. When HECTOR finally arrived at a conclusion,
After years and years of debate, it was determined finally that the chicken came before the egg. oeit had long been suspected that the egg came first,
but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first,
that exists only in a chickens ovaries and is vital to eggshell formation in chickens.
The protein acts as an ongoing builder that pieces microscopic parts of the shell together by converting calcium carbonate into calcite crystals.
which only exists in chickens, so the end result is that the chicken came first.
The protein was discovered before this research project, but HECTOR made it easier for the researchers to observe the process oein microscopic detail,
Freeman and his colleagues referred to some theories that suggest that chickens oeancestors evolved to create hard eggs around the time of the dinosaurs.

#Pork Grown in a Petri dish Call it pork in a petri dish a technique to turn pig stem cells into strips of meat that scientists say could one day offer a green alternative to raising livestock,

and while they admit they havent gotten the texture quite right, they say the technology promises to have widespread implications for our food supply. oeif we took the stem cells from one pig
we would need one million fewer pigs to get the same amount of meat, said Mark Post,
of Maastricht University involved in the In-vitro Meat Consortium, a network of publicly funded Dutch research institutions that is carrying out the experiments.
To make pork in the lab, Post and colleagues isolate stem cells from pigs muscle cells.

#Growing fake meat in a lab could cut greenhouse emissions by 96%according to scientists Researchers hope to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing fake meat in a lab. Scientists from Oxford university have decided to concentrate their efforts on culturing
and growing artificial meat in petri dishes, Instead of focusing on ending the horrendous factory farming practices that inhumanely confine cattle to tight living spaces,
A recent report in the UKS Guardian explains that researchers there hope to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing fake meat in a lab
and others concerned about abusive animal conditions to once again eat meat, as well as feed the worlds hungry.
The environmental impacts of cultured meat could be substantially lower than those of meat produced in the conventional way,
She and her team claim that growing fake meat in the lab can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 96 percent,
and require up to 45 percent less energy to produce meat than conventional methods do. This may sound like a beneficial prospect
But is growing meat in a lab really necessary when simply returning to traditional animal raising methods would do the trick?
But growing fake meat in a dish is hardly the logical next step in correcting the problem.
In other words, if more farmers switch from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOS) to open pastures, there will be no need to grow imitation meat in a lab. Photo credit:
