To many people, the term theory sounds like the start of research – and in many cases it is. However, there are a lot of theories that we accept to be true because no one has been able to disprove them. This includes the theory of relativity and natural selection.


Modern advancements allow us to live in extreme environments and survive conditions that would’ve once been fatal.

Our expert explains how our unique development might actually be working in harmony with these environmental pressures rather than against them.
