Avian Navigation
www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17855194 Please look at this link as it covers important ground on Avian Navigation. You will see that one of our heroes David Keays has established that the magnetite structure in the beaks of pigeons does not exist. The magnetic theory still has problems because you cannot navigate using a compass without knowing where you…
Discovery of a human geomagnetic sensory system | Human Frontier Science Program
http://www.hfsp.org/hfsp-news-events/discovery-human-geomagnetic-sensory-system IntroThis link is fascinating and shows that humans can sense the magnetic field even if they do not know that they have. We already know that a lot of animal navigation takes place in the hippocampus i.e. in the Subconscious. Could this mean that there might be a correlation with the way that humans react to…

Does Your Language Shape How You Think?
This is a fascinating link that describes how in many languages you always refer to yourself and give instructions in a geographical manner: move your foot North for instance. This means that all the speakers of these languages always know their orientation. We know that language controls what we think but this use of language gives…
Avian Navigation System
The avian navigation system is rather complex, based on many factors, and it even used two aspects of the magnetic field. If, in a given situation, one can show that the receptors in the beak have no effect, that does not mean that they do not have one in another situation! Anaesthesia of the upper…
