The researchers found out why spouses often resemble each other Scientists from Boston University have traced the trends of choosing people spouses in the last 60 years and found that people used more likely to chose a genetically similar partners. A study published in the journal PLOS Genetics. According to scientists, if the husband and wife like each other, it’s not always a coincidence. Researchers believe that people tend to choose their partners, relatives, ancestry The researchers studied genetic similarity between spouses in three generations. Researchers analyzed data on 879 married couples, who were going since 1948. The researchers found that people of Northern and southern Europe and Ashkenazi Jews were mainly chosen partners, relatives, genetically. However, in two subsequent generations, people are less likely to choose their spouses of a person with similar genes. The results of this study show how demographic patterns have changed in the last 60

Biologists have figured out how to actually see bees Australian scientists have found that honeybees have much more acute vision than previously thought. The researchers presented the results of their work in the journal Scientific Reports. Today honeybees are attracted to many scientists, especially neurologists, who want to find out how the tiny brain of insects that contain less than a million neurons capable of processing complicated tasks. Scientists believe that this understanding will be useful in robotics. Vision of bees is being studied for over a hundred years: the first study was published in 1914. In the article it was reported that bees are able to distinguish some colors. There is another important question that has long interested scientists: how good, really can see bees. According to biologists from the Adelaide University, the previous researchers measured the visual acuity of bees in the laboratory, the lighting which is not
