So says Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at Oxford University, in a book that envisages the “Sapphic reproduction” of women by genetic manipulation. A… Continue reading Extinction of Men

Muslims and Evolution

Power Outage
You have probably heard of the power outage that hit us an hour ago. Power was gone in our apartment for 10-15 minutes. Being from Pakistan, a power outage like this can simply be ignored.
