Reply to comment by lmjoe in ELI5: Why can black holes cause light to not escape, but light doesn't slow down from gravity(and only change direction)? by [deleted]
So light is actually slowed down through different mediums ie) to about 75% of it's speed through water, and 2/3 of it's speed through for instance glass. Gravity itself is not a medium, so does not impact the speed of light.

Reply to Why are there multiple species of various life forms, but humans only have one? Are there other complex single-species organisms? by CyberOGa3
There was approximately 15 other Homo type species ranging from Neanderthals to Homo-Erectus etc... we either wiped them out or they came much earlier than us. Homo-sapiens-sapiens (us), were the last to leave Africa and settle around the world. There were numerous others that did this in the hundreds of thousands of years before us, so we either got there and killed them off / outcompeted them or they did that to themselves.
