Ivanhoe Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 If the extraterrestrials already have calzones, there would be no point to visiting Earth.

sunday Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Too expensive, Mikel2. It would have been better to build the station in other place, but I guess it was not possible, as they were following the existing rail line.
TonyE Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 It could have been built 2km to the west along the same line, there is a large abandoned "wasteland" there.

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 It may explain the mystery. For one thing the Easter Islanders always maintained the figures walked into their present present position. Which that is, kinda.
MiloMorai Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 A long-held theory on how horse domestication and language spread across Asia has been disrupted by a look at our genetic past. Ancient DNA Study Pokes Holes in Horse Domestication Theory (nationalgeographic.com) Scientists believe that the domestication of the horse some 5,000 years ago was a major turning point in human history: People were suddenly able to travel long distances, spreading their languages and culture along the way. According to what's known as the "Steppe Hypothesis," a group of horse-riding pastoralists living on the steppe around the Black and Caspian Seas migrated west into Europe and east into Central and South Asia around 3,000 B.C., bringing knowledge of horse breeding and the forerunner of Indo-European languages with them. A new genetic study, however, is now throwing cold water on parts of this long-held theory. These horse-riding pastoralists from the western steppe, known as the Yamnaya, may not have been responsible for bringing horse breeding and Indo-European languages into Asia, according to a study by an international, interdisciplinary team published today in the journal Science. Their analysis revolves around the Botai people, who lived on grasslands in what is now Kazakhstan between about 3,500 and 3,000 B.C. When archaeologists explored the remains of Botai villages, they uncovered a horse-crazy culture. The archaeological evidence, which includes hundreds of thousands of horse bone fragments and pottery that seems to have contained horse milk, suggests that the Botai were the earliest group to tame and breed horses.
MiloMorai Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Climate change altered the size of human bodies (msn.com) The average body size of humans has fluctuated significantly over the last million years and is linked to a changing climate, according to research published Thursday. A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and the University of Tübingen in Germany gathered measurements of brain and body size for more than 300 fossils from the Homo genus or family, to which modern day humans -- Homo sapiens -- belong. The team used this data, combined with a reconstruction of the Earth's regional climates from the last million years, and calculated the climate that would have been experienced by each fossil when it was a living human. Researchers found that climate -- particularly temperature -- has been the main driver of changes in body size for the past million years. Colder, harsher climates were linked to larger bodies, while warmer climates were linked to smaller bodies, the team found. "Larger bodies can buffer individuals from cold temperatures -- the larger you are, the smaller your surface compared to your volume, so you conserve heat more efficiently," Andrea Manica, a professor of evolutionary ecology at the University of Cambridge, told CNN via email.
Ssnake Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Sounds a tad suspect to me as the general food supply situation could easily be the dominating factor (it certainly was over the last two centuries), and it's not even being mentioned - but, "climate change!". With tree rings, at least you have plenty of samples to work with. 300 fossils from a wide range of times and regions does not sound like cemented statistical methodology at first glance.

Supposedly the restoration of the Royal Castle languised for years because, well because it was Royal I guess. Kind of awkward for Communists to be building a Royal Castle.

"...a professor of evolutionary ecology..." is this what passes for "education" today!? This is the equivalent of the completed digestive processes of the adult male bovine.
