Read previewScientists are one step closer to solving the mystery of humanity's last great extinction: why the Neanderthals died off. AdvertisementThis explained why Thorin's DNA seemed so much more ancient than his bones. His DNA resembles Neanderthals who lived over 100,000 years ago, but Thorin was 50,000 years younger, according to the recent study. Related storiesThat means, people within the community reproduced amongst themselves for more than 50,000 years, spawning a unique lineage distinct from other Neanderthal groups, according to the researchers. "We have this incredible extinction, which is the last great extinction of humanity," Slimak said.

☆ 1 in 3 children worldwide is now nearsighted, study shows
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-25 | by ( Jack Guy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

Nearsightedness, or myopia, refers to when closer objects are clear, but distant objects are blurry. Nearsightedness is expected to keep rising among children and adolescents. This could be due in part to the fact that East Asian children start formal education at the age of 2 or 3, earlier than kids in other regions, the researchers say. Progression of nearsightedness in children can be slowed by taking breaks and avoiding hour after hour on the phone or computer, he wrote. Limiting up-close reading time outside of school — screen time or otherwise — may help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children, he added.

Shein said it was "ready to cooperate openly with relevant Italian authorities, providing the necessary support and information to address any inquiries". The probe is the latest in a string of investigations by regulators across Europe into potentially misleading environmental claims by companies, as new European Union regulation seeks to crack down on greenwashing. It also said that Shein's website appeared to emphasize a commitment to decarbonization which seems to be contradicted by the increase in greenhouse gas emissions shown in Shein's sustainability reports for 2022 and 2023.

The Secret Service is heightening security around former President Donald Trump, an agency official said Monday, following the apparent attempt on his life just two months after an assassination attempt at a campaign rally. “Given recent events, the Secret Service is taking a heightened posture in its protection of the former president,” the official said. The new measures appeared to be visible Monday when Trump got off his plane in Pennsylvania and a Secret Service agent followed closely behind. Federal prosecutors recently charged Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, in connection with an apparent assassination attempt on Trump on Sept. 15.
