In this episode, we will talk about a new planet that can give a clue about the planet nine, the new evidence to support MOND theory of dark matter and the successful measurement of primordial gravitational waves. Next, the new finding that stem cells are not tumorigenic and the effect of Neanderthal genes in COVID-19 patients will be reviewed. We also talk about that Neanderthals were burying their deceased ones, the self-amputation in crocodiles and the production of safer antiperspirants.
