An <b><i>evolutionary adaptation</i></b> is any heritable phenotypic character whose frequency of appearance in a population is the result of increased reproductive success relative to alternative versions of that heritable phenotypic character.<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18.90625px;"> Here are the criteria I believe are most useful when one is attempting to determine if one is dealing with an "adaptation":</span></blockquote>

<b>Qualification 1:</b> An evolutionary adaptation will be expressed by most of the members of a given population, in a pattern that approximates a normal distribution;<br /><br /><b>Qualification 2:</b> An evolutionary adaptation can be correlated with underlying anatomical and physiological structures, which constitute the efficient (or proximate) cause of the evolution of the adaptation;<br /><br /><b>Qualification 3:</b> An evolutionary adaptation can be correlated with a pre-existing evolutionary environment of adaptation (EEA), the circumstances of which can then be correlated with differential survival and reproduction; and<br /><br /><b>Qualification 4:</b> An evolutionary adaptation can be correlated with the presence and expression of an underlying gene or gene complex, which directly or indirectly causes and influences the expression of the phenotypic trait that constitutes the adaptation.</blockquote>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Contrary to the received wisdom, long distance relationships can work, according to new research published in the <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Journal of Communication</em> (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jcom.12029" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Jiang & Hancock, 2013</a>).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Two factors that help keep long distance relationships alive are that these couples:</div>
<div style="float: right; margin: 50px 0px 50px 50px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<ul style="list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tell each other more intimate information.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Have a more idealised view of their partner.</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The study, which contradicts much standard <a href="http://www.spring.org.uk/2013/12/can-long-distance-relationships-work.php#" id="_GPLITA_0" in_hdr="" in_rurl="http://i.txtsrving.info/click?v=R1I6NTIxMDg6NzAxOmRhdGluZzphMTBhNDc4ZTUyZDExMGIyZDcxNTc0MzgxNDQwZDFkZDp6LTE2ODUtMzcyNjY2Ond3dy5zcHJpbmcub3JnLnVrOjEwMjA5MTphMDljNTg4NzYyZDM2NGVmNjI3ZDI2NmE3Y2NhZDQ1NTo0ZTY5ZDFmZGZlZDA0OTlhOWZmYWZmZmEzOGU0NjlmNQ" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; color: #990000; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 16px !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 22.390625px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by Notificatoin">dating<img src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a> advice, was inspired by the increasing numbers of people conducting long distance relationships because of the demands of education, employment or emigration.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The researchers examined 67 couples: some who were in long distance relationships, and others who were in close physical proximity to each other.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
They found that the long distance couples were highly trusting and even felt more intimate with their partners, despite their physical distance.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Crystal Jiang explained:</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; color: #666666; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 0.75em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.75em;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
“…our culture emphasizes being together physically and frequent face-to-face contact for close relationships, but long-distance relationships clearly stand against all these values. People don’t have to be so pessimistic about long-distance romance. The long-distance couples try harder than geographically close couples in communicating affection and <a href="http://www.spring.org.uk/2013/12/can-long-distance-relationships-work.php#" id="_GPLITA_1" in_rurl="http://i.txtsrving.info/click?v=R1I6MjU2NTE6NTcyOmludGltYWN5OjU5YTVmNzcxODVhZjVmMGYyNWJmMTNiNDUxOWVjMzkyOnotMTY4NS0zNzI2NjY6d3d3LnNwcmluZy5vcmcudWs6MTA3Mzg4OmEwOWM1ODg3NjJkMzY0ZWY2MjdkMjY2YTdjY2FkNDU1OmNkZTc3ZGVkYThmYjQxMTU4YzZiOTc3MWExMWQyZTI3" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; color: #990000; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 16px !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 22.390625px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by Notificatoin">intimacy<img src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a>, and their efforts do pay back.”</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It shows that, while it is not necessarily ideal to be separated from your partner for long periods of time, people do find ways to cope with the situation.</div>
<div style="float: left; margin: 50px 50px 50px 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Other studies have also found that, although those in long distance relationships talk with each other less, what they do say is imbued with greater meaning. This appears to balance out the lack of physical contact.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This means those in long distance relationships often have similar levels of relationship satisfaction and stability as those who are geographically close to each other.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
None of this research, though, tells us anything about <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">which types of people</em> can cope with long distance <a href="http://www.spring.org.uk/2013/12/can-long-distance-relationships-work.php#" id="_GPLITA_5" in_rurl="http://i.txtsrving.info/click?v=R1I6MjU2NTE6NTcyOnJlbGF0aW9uc2hpcHM6ZWZhYTViMWQxMDU3ZWE5OWE4NzZkMDI4NDI4MmIzMDE6ei0xNjg1LTM3MjY2Njp3d3cuc3ByaW5nLm9yZy51azoxMDczOTE6YTA5YzU4ODc2MmQzNjRlZjYyN2QyNjZhN2NjYWQ0NTU6NjJmMzBhNWM4NjE5NDljZjlmOGViYzI4ZTU3OWJkMjU" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; color: #990000; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 16px !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 22.390625px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by Notificatoin">relationships<img src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a>.</div>

While some people may naturally have the skills required, others may not.</div>

Still, it’s heartening to know that should a long distance relationship be unavoidable, many people are able to keep their <a href="http://www.spring.org.uk/2013/12/can-long-distance-relationships-work.php#" id="_GPLITA_4" in_rurl="http://i.txtsrving.info/click?v=R1I6MjU2NTE6NTcyOmludGltYWN5OjRjM2Y3Yzg1MWY4NjAxMmFlYTdjOTE0NGMwYmE4NmFmOnotMTY4NS0zNzI2NjY6d3d3LnNwcmluZy5vcmcudWs6MTA3Mzg3OmJiYTVjM2Y0ZWQ2N2ViOWFjOWVlOWM3NGM0ZThiNWZlOjNiZDkxMTQ2ODg4MjQ4NWU4ZWU1NWI4NTZjMzQ3ZDVm" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; color: #990000; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 16px !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 22.390625px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by Notificatoin">intimacy<img src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a> levels high, which helps fuel the relationship, just as if they lived in the same house.</div>

According to a recent study of over 100,000 participants, IQ is actually made up of three components (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2012.06.022" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Hampshire et al., 2012</a>).</div>

Analysing the results, they found that IQ split up into short-term memory, reasoning and a verbal component.</div>

In other words: some people could have strong short-term memories but be poor reasoners. Or: some people could be good with language but have poor short-term memory.</div>

The increased intelligence of <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Homo sapiens</em> was originally a result of gene mutations.

4. Clever but worried</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
They say that ignorance is bliss, and ‘they’ may well be on to something.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
That’s because people of high intelligence are more prone to anxiety than those of moderate intelligence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Indeed, anxiety may have co-evolved with intelligence–worrying may have given early humans a survival benefit in the ancient past (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fnevo.2011.00008" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Coplan et al., 2012</a>).</div>

It’s just a pity that it’s left intelligent people with higher levels of anxiety disorders.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Corbel, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 1.8em 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">
5. New ideas</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Set against the higher levels of mental illness and anxiety, is the fact that more intelligent people are more likely to come up with new ideas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Historically, that might mean rejecting superstition and finding new ways of organising society.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
One study argues that this explains why more intelligent people are more likely to be atheists and more likely to be politically liberal (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0190272510361602" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Kanazawa et al., 2010</a>).</div>

This study found that young adults who described themselves as ‘very conservative’ had an average IQ of 95, while those who described themselves as ‘very liberal’ had an average IQ of 106.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Corbel, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 1.8em 0px 0.6em; padding: 0px;">
6. Motivation can trump IQ</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Although intelligence can be a wonderful asset to have, it doesn’t guarantee success.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Take maths, that bastion of nerd achievement. It’s true that being intelligent will give you a good start, but for real achievement you’ve got to be motivated.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
A German study of 3,520 children found that after they got started at maths, their intelligence became less important than their motivation to succeed and how much they studied (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12036" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Murayama et al., 2012</a>).</div>

7. Intelligence is in the eyes</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Literally, that is.</div>

A study by <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0956797612470959" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Shalev et al. (2013)</a> has found that people who have wider blood vessels at back of the eye have higher levels of intelligence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is because retinal blood vessels are similar to those in the brain. So, wider blood vessels here may mean a better supply of oxygen to the brain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This finding could even be important in diagnosing and treating brain diseases:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; color: #666666; font-family: Calibri, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 0.75em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.75em;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
“Increasing knowledge about retinal vessels may enable scientists to develop better diagnosis and treatments to increase the levels of oxygen into the brain and by that, to prevent age-related worsening of cognitive abilities.” Shalev et al.

The study examined the sleep habits of 20,745 adolescent Americans and found that on a weekday the ‘very dull’ went to bed at an average of 11:41 and woke up at 7:20.</div>

So it seems smart people are better at concealing their views.</div>

10. Smarter societies are happier</h2>

Are smarter people happier? Overall, probably not.</div>

Studies which have looked for a connection between how happy people feel and how intelligent they are have mostly found no connection (e.g. <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1504/IJHD.2012.050808" style="color: #990000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Veenhoven & Choi, 2012</a>).</div>

However, when you look across nations, those that are, on average, smarter, are also happier.</div>

I recently experiensed love in its full meaning... months ago, I thought I could be happy and alone and that love is not a big deal..But I was extremely wrong.. we do need friends and we do need a partner, we need to love and we need to get love.. We don't have to pretend that we are strong enough that we don't need the above cause we do.. and it gonna be much easier if we accept it.. goodnight people!!</div>

<b>I bet you already knew that colours betray our feelings...</b><br />
But not always in the way we think they do...<br />
Most people have connected black with sadness or even evil... But black is nothing more than a power<br />
show off. People who wear black want to be considered as mysterious guys (I'm one of them xoxo). On the other hand people who wear intense colours , like red, tend to be blatand and ofcourse want to be the center of attention.. just to be fair they also tend to be happier.. we will now watch some pictures with people wearing different colours.. please feel free to comment and tell me your opinion about their personalities..<br />

Most of us I guess sometimes want to be left alone ... to be recreated ...<br />
But family and friends insist that it is not " normal " and that man is by nature a social being . Contrasting to that I say that man by nature has also wild instincts , which are not accepted because of our cultural evolution. In conclusion I want to say that human being it too complex to analyze.. we are so different and same at the same time.. our needs evovle and change all the time.. If we fall into the trap our society has created we're done, we will never have the chance to be happy... deep down each and everyone of us knows what he wants but we all have learned to be afraid and to "the right thing". BUT NO the right thing is what we want and nothing else... the image above is a greek quote that says " you have to be ready to burn in your own fire, how will you reborn if you don't become dust first?"</div>
