More on Dogon architecture. See our last post on Dogon architecture.
The joy is in the details. Above are details found in Dogon architecture. The Dogon people are an ethnic group who live primarily in “Pays Dogon” or “Dogon Country” which is located in the central plateau region of the country of Mali, in the Mopti region of Mali. They also inhabit Burkino Faso. They are renown for their architecture and advanced astronomical knowledge that preceded that of all other astronomers.

Shield Bug
Microscopy by Francis Prior
There are thousands of species of shield bugs on Earth (though you probably know them by their more common name of “stink bugs”), but we bet you’ve never looked at one like this. This view shows the insect’s bulging compound eye on the left. Further down, looking almost like a ruby, is its simple eye, which helps it detect light. Also riddling the surface of the bug’s exoskeleton are a number of circular pock-marks, resembling tiny wells of ink. (From io9)

Did Homo sapiens destroy all the other human races or did we just interbreed them out of existence? A little of both.
Ever since Neanderthals were discovered to have been a separate human race, anthropologists have been asking where they went. Now we know there were a couple other ancient non-Homo sapien human species, and they’re gone as well. So what the hell happened? Did Homo sapiens come out of Africa fighting or did modern Homo sapiens come about as the product of interbreeding between us and other hominid species? Turns out, it was a little of both.
