The Summary New research offers insight into the evolutionary history of amylase genes, which are key to our ability to eat and digest starchy food. Amylase genes produce an enzyme in saliva and the gut that’s key to breaking down starches into sugar. New research published Thursday in the journal Science suggests the amylase gene has a much longer evolutionary history than scientists previously thought. Some studies have suggested that populations with higher numbers of amylase copies tend to eat more starch, though more research is needed to explore those theories. … There are things that just exist.”Both recent studies relied on a relatively new technology to analyze genetic material from ancient humans.

Grotte Mandrin is the only known site to have been home to alternating groups of both Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis. “The Thorin population spent 50,000 years without exchanging genes with other Neanderthal populations,” Slimak said in a news release. DNA from Homo sapiens fossils from that time show that these early arrivals interbred with Neanderthals — traces of those encounters remain in present-day human populations. Archaeologists have excavated more of Thorin’s remains: 31 teeth, part of the jaw and five finger bones, so far. It’s the only known site to have been home to alternating groups of both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, plus the earliest evidence of bow and arrow use outside Africa.

Biden said at the press conference: “I said, ‘No, I’m sorry, Zelensky.’ And then I added five other names.”Facts First: Biden’s last claim was false. He stayed at Camp David until the day of the CNN presidential debate against Trump, which was held in Atlanta. Hamas and the West BankTalking about the war between Israel and Hamas, Biden said Thursday, “There is a growing dissatisfaction in, on the West Bank, from the Palestinians, about Hamas. Hamas scored better on all of those questions among the respondents in the West Bank than it did among the respondents in Gaza. But the endorsement actually came long before the debate and the resulting crisis of confidence among some of Biden’s pre-debate backers.

A job French people don’t want? Half of the 86,000-plus chefs in the French capital are immigrants, according to data published by the French National Institute of Statistic and Economic Studies in 2022. Often in Paris, the kitchens are very small, so it’s a very strenuous job,” Mousson said. “For a small business like us, we cannot afford to hire multiple people in the kitchen,” Mousson said. While it remains to be seen if the party can capture an absolute majority in the French National Assembly, it will almost certainly become the biggest force in the new parliament.

CNN —Aya Nakamura was born in the former French colony of Mali, raised in France and is widely considered the most streamed female Francophone artist in the world. However, ahead of Paris 2024, Nakamura finds herself at the center of France’s culture wars. Aya Nakamura attends the Kenzo Menswear Fall-Winter 2023-2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 20, 2023 in Paris, France. “I think that the people who criticize her actually don’t accept that she embodies France,” French activist Rokhaya Diallo told CNN. Politicians such as Le Pen hailed the legislation as an “ideological victory” whilst French health Minister, Aurelien Rousseau resigned in protest.

Farmers say they are not being paid enough, are choked by taxes and green rules and face unfair competition from abroad. French farmers have already won several concessions, including the government dropping plans to gradually reduce subsidies on agricultural diesel. On Wednesday, European Commissioners proposed limiting agricultural imports from Ukraine and greater flexibility on rules on fallow land in a bid to quell protests. In Italy, farmers have blocked traffic with hundreds of tractors near motorway access points near Milan, in Tuscany and elsewhere in recent days. While a deal looks possible on fallow land, the question of talks on a major trade deal with the Mercosur group is more contentious.

Macron Says France Will Be 'Ruthless' Against Antisemitism

PARIS (Reuters) - France will firmly combat antisemitism, President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday, pointing to a surge in incidents of hatred against Jews since the attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7 and subsequent fighting in the Gaza Strip. There have been 1,159 antisemitic acts in France since Oct. 7, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said earlier on Wednesday, more than three times the number of such acts in 2022. Those acts include spray-painting swastikas or stars of David on walls, but also insults and assault, Darmanin said, amid a global surge in antisemitic acts. "Antisemitism is resurfacing, in words, on the walls," Macron said in a speech. "The Republic does not and will not compromise, and we will be ruthless against those who carry that hatred."

Experts at London’s National History Museum reviewed literature to identify 59 Magdalenian sites that have human remains. There was also evidence to suggest that in some cases human remains were mixed with those of animals. They found that there were two distinct ancestral groups present in the region during that period – one of Magdalenian culture and another called the Epigravettian, a different European and geographically-distinct human culture.

By Tarek AmaraTUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian President Kais Saied on Monday rejected financial support announced by the European Union in September, saying the amount is small and goes against a deal signed three months ago. The European Commission last month said it would disburse 127 million euros ($133 million) in aid to Tunisia as part of the deal to fight illegal immigration from Africa to Europe. “Tunisia rejects what the EU announced, not because of the small amount ... but because the proposal conflicts with the memorandum of understanding signed in July," Saied said. The July deal included a pledge of 1 billion euros in aid to Tunisia to help its battered economy, rescue state finances and deal with the migration crisis. Tunisia last week postponed a visit by a delegation from the European Commission to discuss the details of the migration agreement.

Mandatory Credit: Allan Henry-USA TODAY SportsMay 8 (Reuters) - United States Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson, looking for leadership and experience, named Jim Furyk as one of his vice captains on Monday for this year's event in Italy. Furyk boasts a wealth of Ryder Cup experience having played in the biennial competition between the United States and Europe in nine consecutive editions from 1997 while serving as captain in 2018 and vice captain in 2016 and 2021. Johnson previously appointed former Ryder Cup captains Steve Stricker and Davis Love III as vice captains. "I've been involved in the Ryder Cup since 1997, and my passion for this event is unmatched," said Furyk, who last week was named U.S. team captain for the 2024 Presidents Cup. The 2023 Ryder Cup will be played from Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.
[1/11] Protesters take part in a demonstration against the French government's pension reform plan, as part of the eighth day of national strike and protests, in Ancenis-Saint-Gereon, France, March 15, 2023. The pension bill passed to a joint parliamentary committee on Wednesday where lawmakers from the lower and upper chambers are seeking a compromise text. If a deal is reached, a final vote in both the Senate and National Assembly will be held on Thursday. This new day of protests "is meant to tell lawmakers: don't vote this reform," he said. "In the National Assembly, there will not be an easy vote, nor will there be panic," government spokesman Olivier Veran told Europe 1 radio station.

Workers surveyed in China are the least likely to retire as soon as possible — even "in an ideal world," Randstad said. Edwin Tan | E+ | Getty ImagesThe cost of living crisis is delaying the retirement plans of working professionals worldwide, said recruitment agency Randstad. Its latest Workmonitor report found that only half of surveyed workers believe they can permanently leave the workforce before they turn 65, down from 61% last year. The annual report surveyed 35,000 people across 34 markets for their sentiments on the world of work. Workers feel they "need" work in their lives because having a stable job allows them to "feel valued and respected" by their peers, he added.

Love boasts a wealth of Ryder Cup experience having played in the biennial competition between the United States and Europe six times before serving as captain in 2012 and 2016. Johnson, named captain last February, previously named his predecessor Steve Stricker as the first of his vice captains. "The Ryder Cup is one of the truly special events in all of sports, and I am so honored to be named a vice captain in Italy in 2023," said Love, who also served as vice captain in 2010, 2018 and 2021.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsJan 17 (Reuters) - England's Ian Poulter said he might not compete in this year's Ryder Cup even if he qualifies. The 47-year-old, nicknamed "Mr Ryder Cup" for his exploits in previous editions for the European team, joined the LIV Golf series in June, jeopardising his involvement in the biennial contest. Poulter has won several titles on both the major tours and cited age as a factor in his decision to sign up for the LIV Series. The Ryder Cup, a biennial team competition between the United States and Europe, saw the U.S. defeat Europe 19-9 to win it in 2021. The 2023 Ryder Cup will be played from Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.

REUTERS/Denis BalibousePARIS, Dec 9 (Reuters) - France's state-controlled utility EDF said on Friday three of its nuclear reactors were "ramping up" production after repairs, while a power outage tested nerves in Paris and cold weather added to the strain on supplies across Europe. EDF (EDF.PA) is racing to get nuclear reactors back online following work to tackle corrosion problems as the whole of Europe struggles to cope with the impact on its energy supplies of the Ukraine war. Compounding the impact of disrupted energy imports from Russia, a record number of outages at EDF's 56-strong nuclear fleet has taken France's nuclear output to a 30-year low, increasing the country's reliance on other country's depleted energy reserves. Later on Friday, EDF Chief Executive Luc Remont and French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire are due to hold a news conference at a nuclear site. POWER CUTSGrid operator RTE, however, says the country's power supplies will be stretched even if EDF manages to stick to its repair schedule, and partial load-shedding measures cannot be ruled out this winter on cold days.
The European Union now prohibits Russian crude oil imports by sea, setting up the bloc to have phased out 90% of oil imports from Russia. It’s a huge move given that Europe received roughly a third of its oil imports from Russia in 2021. In 2021, the EU imported €48 billion ($50.7 billion) worth of crude oil and €23 billion ($24.3 billion) of refined oil products from Russia. Countries like Poland and Estonia wanted a lower price cap, emphasizing that $60 is too close to the current market price for Russian oil. “Today’s oil price cap agreement is a step in right direction, but this is not enough,” Estonian foreign minister Urmas Reinsalu tweeted Friday.
PARIS, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The French government said on Sunday that France was on the right track over further easing the problem of petrol service stations not having enough petrol due to strikes at oil refineries, which had hit motorists around the country. Data on Friday showed that about 13 percent of petrol service stations still had supply problems, down from over 30 percent last week-end. "We are on the right track," government spokesman Olivier Veran told Europe 1 radio. "The crisis at the service stations will be finished when we no longer have any French person who is forced to queue up at a petrol station to fill up," he added.

Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of French far-left opposition party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), and leader of the New Ecologic and Social People's Union (NUPES), takes part in a protest against soaring inflation and what they call a lack of government action to fight climate change, in Paris, France October 16, 2022. REUTERS/Stephane MahePARIS, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Thousands of people took to the streets of Paris on Sunday to protest against soaring prices as weeks of strikes for higher wages at oil refineries spurred demands for a general strike. The leader of hard-left party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), Jean-Luc Melenchon, marched alongside this year's Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Annie Ernaux. Budget Minister Gabriel Attal said the left-wing coalition was attempting to exploit the current situation, marked by ongoing strikes at French utility EDF's nuclear plants and at French oil refineries. "Today's march is a march of supporters who want to block the country," he said on French radio station Europe 1.

Franţa va începe programul de vaccinare anti-COVID duminică, 27 decembrie, a anunţat luni pe Twitter ministrul francez al Sănătăţii, transmite Reuters, potrivit Agerpres. Programul de vaccinare va debuta în Franța cu membrii cei mai vulnerabili ai populaţiei, cum sunt vârstnicii, a menţionat ministrul Olivier Veran. Potrivit ministrului francez, este "complet posibil" ca această tulpină să circule deja în Franţa, deşi nu a fost detectată până acum în urma testelor. Și România este pregătită să înceapă vaccinarea duminică, pe 27 decembrie. De altfel, este o decizie la nivel european ca vaccinarea să înceapă în aceeași zi în UE, ca simbol al eforturilor duse în lupta împotriva coronavirusului.

Oamenii au acum posibilitatea de a-şi părăsi locuinţele indiferent de motiv, spre deosebire de lockdown-ul parţial introdus la finalul lunii octombrie, când au fost permise doar ieşirile pentru anumite scopuri, scrie agerpres.ro Totuşi, a fost decisă o interdicţie parţială de circulaţie pe timpul nopţii: oamenii pot ieşi din case doar pentru anumite motive în intervalul orar 20:00 - 06:00 şi trebuie să completeze un formular online în acest scop.Aceste motive includ deplasarea până la locul de muncă, îngrijirea copiilor sau urgenţele medicale, precum şi plimbarea animalelor de companie. Nu sunt autorizate însă activităţile sportive în spaţii deschise.Cinematografele, teatrele şi muzeele urmau să se deschidă în această săptămână, dar acest lucru a fost amânat până la o nouă scădere a ratei de infectate şi este de aşteptat să aibă loc la 7 ianuarie.Preşedintele Emmanuel Macron a anunţat că la 20 ianuarie vor fi redeschise restaurantele, dar premierul Jean Castex a precizat marţi că nu există o dată fixă în această privinţă. ''Va depinde de modul în care gestionăm perioada vacanţei'', a declarat Castex pentru postul de radio Europe 1.Conform AFP, peste 58.000 de persoane au decedat în Franţa din cauza COVID-19 de la începutul pandemiei şi în medie cel puţin 10.000 de noi cazuri de infectare cu noul coronavirus sunt raportate în fiecare zi.
