Todos familia: los nativos americanos proceden de una única ola migratoria asiática

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:26:11 GMT

BURGOS – Un estudio internacional, en el que participó el Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (Cenieh) de Burgos, en el norte de España, desvela que la población nativa de América procede de una única ola migratoria asiática.Es la conclusión a la que se llegó después de analizar la variación dental y detectar un grado similar de afinidad entre nativos americanos y poblaciones de Asia Oriental, según informó el Cenieh en nota de prensa.La investigación, publicada en la revista American Journal of Biological Anthropology, intenta dar respuesta a las preguntas relativas al origen de las poblaciones que ocupan América del Norte y del Sur, que llegaron como consecuencia de la última gran migración continental de hace unos 16,000 años, a través de nuevos enfoques en el estudio de la variación dental humana.Los antropólogos dentales llevan más de 50 años estudiando las variaciones en la forma de los dientes para definir patrones de migración humana.

Rishi Sunak loves Big Tech. Why does he keep scaring them away?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:26:11 GMT

LONDON — Sitting forward, his eager schoolboy grin flashing as he laughed too hard at Elon Musk’s jokes, the message from Britain’s Prime Minister was clear: We love you.Rishi Sunak’s one-on-one with the enfant terrible of technology at a glitzy venue on a cold November night in central London drew the curtain on a week that had cemented his credentials as a Big Tech advocate. He had spent the previous day rubbing shoulders with leading tech executives like OpenAI’s Sam Altman at his landmark AI safety summit in Bletchley Park, even posing for a family portrait with them. But for a man seemingly intent on courting Big Tech and pitching Britain as the next Silicon Valley, his government has sometimes seemed intent on ruining the love-in.This week, lawmakers in the U.K.’s second chamber have debated updates to the country’s Investigatory Powers Act — a sweeping digital surveillance regime dubbed the snoopers’ charter — that have Silicon Valley heavyweights up in arms.Apple, which...

Howie Carr: Mayor dreaming of a non-white Christmas

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:26:11 GMT

The most important question about Mayor Michelle Wu’s no-whites-allowed Christmas party at the Parkman House Wednesday night is obvious:What if the reverse had happened – what if a white mayor had held a whites-only party at a city-owned building, after specifically disinviting all the non-white members of the City Council?Related ArticlesOpinion Columnists | Poll: What’s your opinion of Boston’s ‘electeds of color’ party? We all know the answer to that question. It would have been the end of the world, a national story for days if not weeks on end. On the night of the party, there would have been rioting, or looting and violence. Or should I say, more looting and violence than usual.And if it had been a white Republican mayor who had hosted it, every GOP politician in the nation down to the candidate for tree warden in Athol would have been asked to denounce it.But since it was Wu Klux Klan gathering, we were told, as always, nothing to see h...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Liberals are calling for former President Donald Trump’s Wisconsin lawyer to step down from a state judicial ethics panel, saying he is unsuitable due to his role advising the fake Republican electors who admitted to taking part in an effort to overturn the 2020 election.Jim Troupis, a former judge, was deeply involved in Trump’s efforts to overturn Wisconsin’s 2020 election results. He remains a defendant in a lawsuit filed against him, Trump’s attorney Ken Chesebro and the 10 fake Republican electors.

LOUIS - A time of transition for the St. Louis Blues has proven especially tough for 25-year-old forward Jordan Kyrou, who was brought to tears Thursday after a barrage of boos in the first game after a major coaching change.

According to Rutherford, Kyrou offered the following remarks Thursday afternoon on his relationship with Berube: "I've got no comment.

He was met with loud boos just moments before the game during the Blues' pregame introductions. Kyrou end...
