New Scientist

Recently I have been reading an interesting magazine called New Scientist. It covers many scientific topics including space, animals, electronics and nature. You can also subscribe to the magazine and weekly receive a New Scientist magazine filled with amazing facts and scientific event going on in the world right now!

I have also been reading New Scientist online on my iPhone it is a shame there isn't a New Scientist app! People who have not yet subscribed to it could read the fascinating articles. Do you think there should be an app for the magazine? Feel free to comment and share your views. If anyone is wondering this is the latest New Scientist magazine. The optical illusion is a great way to make someone want to read the article on Tree sense. Have you spotted it yet?

The article that caught my eye a few days ago when I was skimming the magazine to see if anything interested me was an amazing article on how a 30-year-old male Bonobo had the ability to make flints like early humans, the Bonobo (Kanzi) made these tools in order to retrieve food from logs. Its hard to believe animals can be so very intelligent! We do not yet know if all Bonobos have the same skill as Kanzi, he might just have a gift, but who knows! Does this prove humans evolved from such primates?
