☆ A frigid apocalypse doomed early humans in Europe
  + stars: | 2023-08-10 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
REUTERS/David Mdzinarishvili REUTERS/File PhotoAug 10 (Reuters) - Long before our species Homo sapiens trekked out of Africa, earlier human species also spread to other parts of the world. The frigid interval - comparable in intensity to the more recent ice ages - appears to have rendered Europe inhospitable for the bands of early human hunter-gatherers, as extreme glaciation deprived them of food resources. Fossils and stone tools indicate that Homo erectus established a foothold in Eurasia and later southern Europe relatively early in its history. The human species who subsequently colonized Europe proved more resilient amid persistent glacial conditions. "The study provides insights into the initial vulnerability of early human species to environmental changes and how eventually they adapted to increasing glacial climatic stress," Timmermann said.

This began the deployment of Task Force Smith, the first American combat troops to arrive and fight in the Korean War. It was Soviet leader Josef Stalin himself who reluctantly gave the go ahead to North Korean dictator Kim Il-Sung to invade. Task Force Smith suffered its heaviest casualties during the retreat, with enemy machine gun positions hitting them from close range. Crew members give first aid to wounded soldier, during action in the Korean War. After American and UN reinforcements arrived, a counteroffensive drove the North Korean military to the brink of collapse.

☆ South Korea posts the worst trade deficit in its history

05 November 2022, South Korea, Pusan: Containers are loaded from the container freighter "Alula Express" at Busan Newport International Terminal, one of the largest container ports in the world. Photo: Bernd von Jutrczenka/dpa (Photo by Bernd von Jutrczenka/picture alliance via Getty Images)It marked the worst trade deficit since the agency started compiling data in 1956 and far more than the $20.6 billion trade deficit in 1996. South Korea recorded a trade deficit of $47.5 billion for 2022, official data from the customs agency showed. January exports fell $46.3 billion, or 16.6% – declining more than expectations for a drop of 11.3%. That resulted in a deficit of $12.7 billion for January, more than the $9.27 billion expected by economists polled by Reuters.
☆ North Korea's flurry of missile tests has South Korea talking about the nuclear option
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Robert Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
North Korea has done dozens of missile tests this year, including an ICBM test last week. We should always keep talking to North Korea — it is too dangerous to ignore — but there is little realistic hope that North Korea will deal profoundly with its nukes or missiles at this point. South Koreans watch a news report on North Korean missile tests. The current South Korean president, Yoon Seok-yeol, suggested, as a candidate, that South Korea might preemptively air-strike North Korean missile sites in a crisis. The South Korean conservative party has suggested that South Korea should withdraw from the NPT if the North conducts a seventh nuclear test.
