Parkinson's disease is a disease that has no cure and if you have it it makes it harder to move your muscles until you eventually pass away. Eventually in having Parkinson's you start to loose your memory and it becomes hard to speak. There is a way for men to help preventing the disease for themselves. What they must do is eat and drink tea, berries, apples, and red wine. If men eat this mostly their chance of getting Parkinson's is 25% less.

I think that this is amazing break through. I have witnessed the affects of Parkinson's disease  over time. It is a very sad thing to see, and if there is a way to avoid getting it I think the scientists should do a lot more research in this field.

There is a new hominid that was found in Southwester China. It was one the last ones before us.  They are thought to be dark skinned because  it was really bright there. The species is called Red Deer Cave people. Partially because they were discovered in a cave. Their species interbred. Also they were quite progressed as their species died out they were just starting to make pottery which is a very big step in development.

When I saw that there was a new hominid I was very surprised. Our class had just learned about all of them. This one sounds interesting. I want to learn more about it.
