Machines Like Us – Science News

Machines Like Us is a web-resource for those interested in evolutionary thought, cognitive science, artificial life and artificial intelligence. We promote the following concepts: 1) Evolution is the guiding principle behind life on earth; 2) Religions and their gods are human constructs, and subject to human foibles; 3) Life and intelligence are emergent properties based upon fundamental mechanics, and, as such, are reproducible; 4) Living organisms are magnificent machines -- robust, dynamic, self-sufficient, precisely tuned to their environment -- and deserving our respect and study.

Machines Like Us – Science News highlights the latest research on the human body and brain: how they work, how to prevent disease and prolong their function, and how to reproduce them artificially. We provide public news releases from universities and research institutions, news summaries, original articles, exclusive interviews, and reader blogs and forums.

You are invited to participate in the venerable quest to build Machines Like Us.
