☆ When Neanderthals interbred with ancient humans: Research clarifies timeline of human evolution
  + stars: | 2024-12-12 | by ( Evan Bush | Evan Bush Is A Science Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
The Summary Many people have a tiny slice of Neanderthal DNA, evidence of interbreeding between the species and ancient human ancestors. Two new studies suggest that interbreeding occurred during a limited period of time as ancient humans left Africa. How often did ancient humans and Neanderthals interbreed? Studies published in the journals Nature and Science on Thursday suggest that ancient humans and Neanderthals interbred during a limited period of time as the humans left Africa and migrated to new continents. Then the researchers analyzed changes over time in the distribution and length of Neanderthal DNA in those genomes.

☆ A Covid-19 memorial website, The WhoWeLost Project, offers pandemic mourners a digital safe space

A year ago, the World Health Organization declared an end to Covid-19 as a global public health emergency. On the fourth anniversary of Settle’s death – and driven by a need to mourn – Koenig wrote about his former partner on the Covid-19 remembrance website WhoWeLost. Greenwald expanded the website nationally after a 2021 story on the website from an NPR affiliate garnered widespread praise. “I think the need for the site, in a way, is larger because less people are paying attention (to Covid-19),” Greenwald told CNN. They can write those stories down here.”New York City resident Wiandy Santiago’s 65-year-old brother Wilmard Santiago died of Covid-19 in April 2020, a week after being placed on a ventilator.

☆ Human-caused fires may have contributed to the extinction of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and other animals 13,000 years ago
  + stars: | 2023-08-18 | by ( Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
The La Brea tar pits captured dire wolves, sabertooth cats, and other megafaunal for millennia. Statues of megafaunal mammals give La Brea Tar Pit visitors a sense of what animals roamed the area thousands of years ago. The loss of herbivores at La Brea could've contributed to a feedback loop, making fires — however, they started — more intense, the paper's authors say. Paelongotolist MacPhee cautions that there could be other explanations for why these animals in the 61/67 tar pits stopped appearing. Excavation of the La Brea tar pits has yielded hundreds of thousands of fossils.

☆ In Berkeley, a Library Protest Is a Fight for Anthropology in an A.I. Age
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Tim Arango | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Charles Hirschkind, the chair of the anthropology department, said that the university had reduced the number of graduate students it accepts into the anthropology since 2004 by a little more than half, reflecting, he said, the department’s “weaker financial situation” and the rise in costs to support graduate students. “When we’re talking about budgetary restraints, we are also talking about priorities and where one decides to invest,” he said. And the occupation of the library, to some, is reminiscent of an earlier activist era at Berkeley. Worried that the university is trying to run out the clock until summer break and then dismantle the library, the students say they will stay as long as it takes. “They can give us the library tomorrow,” Mr. Molloy said, “and we’ll all be happy to go home.”
