For those that do not know yet, stemng is a sub-community of steemSTEM, a community-driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts by Nigerians on Steemit. The project involves submitting quality STEM-related posts to the steemSTEM management for upvoting and resteeming where applicable.

The first post for the digest is from @ikchris. The theory of evolution is often one that is either mired in controversy or shrouded in mystery. What if the Homo sapiens, the only surviving member of the human species are not the last to inhabit the earth? What made the other homo species to disappear and go extinct suddenly?
