I thought this was a really fun extraordinary belief to cover. All I really knew about unicorns was from cartoons I watched growing up as a kid so it was interesting to learn a little bit more about where the belief comes from. I would be interested to learn more about the differences between different cultures and their specific belief about unicorns. I think it would be cool to see which cultures believe in what specific powers unicorns possess. I think that mainly the difference is from the different time periods that unicorns are perceived differently.
For example, today we see unicorns as more of a modern trend or fad. However, in early time periods they were seen as almost this god-like creature that could bring special powers to the earth, and they were more symbolic than just being a mythical creature. But I do agree with the fact that unicorns and probably perceived and accepted differently in different cultures.
I found all of the information in the blog interesting and I think this belief is definitely unique. I like how you pointed out the retreat to the supernatural and the unfalsifiability, which both are aspects of pseudoscience.
This helps to show how crazy this belief may be. Yeah I totally agree with the fact that the remains of certain skeletons add to the belief. Most of the time however in extraordinary beliefs there are some real empirical evidence that is sprinkled within the belief, but definitely not enough to support the belief or be cohesive with the theory.
I thought this post was interesting. I only knew about unicorns through tv shows and I actually never knew that people truly believe in unicorns. I like how this post explains where this belief stems from and I also think the cultural aspect behind who believes in unicorns and why they believe in unicorns is so interesting. I think that the cultural aspect from ancient to moderns times. It leads me to wonder how many other mythical creatures that we grew up with are interpreted and perceived differently in other cultures.

Big whoop. Sure, they represent the falseness of our society, but sometimes you need that falseness to remind you that things can be better, to make you fight for that more perfect version. Not just by radiating positivity, but also by stabbing bad guys in the stomach with your horn again, spoiler for Cabin in the Woods.
Be the unicorn you want to see in the world. By which I mean, stick a Pringles can to your forehead and challenge me to a fight in the comments below. This article is more than 4 years old.
The model was supported by experimental studies on genes in the garden weed Arabidopsis. So it looks like the way genes control development plays an important role in determining what sorts of structure evolve. But the researchers also showed that selection plays a key part in setting the routes that evolution may take within the space of possibilities. They revealed novel paths, called evolutionary wormholes that link together different inflorescence types, allowing one to evolve into another.
Perhaps there are no Unicorns because no evolutionary wormholes exist that connect them to horses, or maybe the wormholes are there but evolution has not had time to go down them.
The riddle of the Unicorn remains but at least scientists now have a more rigorous mathematical and experimental framework in which to consider such issues. Reference: Evolution and development of inflorescence architectures, Prusinkiewicz, P.
