Anthropology@mander.xyz•Researchers have named a new species in the Homo genus.English
4·1 year agoDenisovans, Xiahe and Penghu are the only three in that lot that have any genetic link between them, with the tooth from Vietnam being “morphologically similar” to the Denisovans tooth fragment and the two skull caps being guesses based on their robusticity. More testing is needed to group these all together in to a new species, especially so with H. longii, but the researchers with access to the dragon man specimen so far are refusing.

3·1 year agoThe Cayman GT4 in GT7 is just sublime. Pointy, but with great mid-corner stability.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What resources do you recommend for an adult wishing to relearn math?
15·1 year agoI used Khan Academy when I reentered uni as a mature-age student and found it very helpful
I’m not a fan of ATHF and The Mouse and the Mask is still in my top 5 of all time. Production and lyricism are on another level.
Oh man, speaking of Kweli, his Black Star album with Mos Def needs a mention
Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations
Hip Hop: DJ Shadow- Endtroducing… Blues: RL Burnside- A Ass Pocket of Whiskey Psychedelic Rock: The Cambodian Space Project- Whisky Cambodia Dance/Electro: The Presets- Apocalypso

World News@quokk.au•Man who cable-tied hands of young children in Broome gets spent conviction and fineEnglish
31·1 year agoHe was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

4·1 year agoTL;DR: “ORNL has a high level of confidence that all data indicate the material was manufactured terrestrially—albeit using an uncommon mixture of elements by today’s standards—and then incurred damage caused by mechanical and heat stressors”.

World News@lemmy.ml•Up to 200 people killed in attack in central Burkina Faso
61·1 year agoMy father-in-law is from Burkina, and his family, including my brother-in-law, still live there. The rejection of ECOWAS and the alliance with Mali and Niger is popular, owing mostly to what I’d describe as a general anti colonialist and, particularly, anti French sentiment, which I suppose is understandable.
The article talks about how the countries have rejected French military aid, but the overwhelming opinion I hear from any of the expats I talk with is that the French were only there to protect their mineral interests and provided minimal aid outside of that.
Ultimately, the combined military power of all three nations is not enough to fend off the insurgency. They are further hampered by inter-ethnic conflict, and I very much doubt that Russia will be able to provide any meaningful support, especially for free. This all leads to intense civilian suffering which, in my opinion, requires UN intervention. Unfortunately unless the military junta suddenly reverses its opinion on western influence, this is unlikely to happen.

662·2 years agoShe knew very well that it would lead to disqualification, but used her platform in a much more powerful way than continuing in the competition. Big respect, she’s a badass.







That’s what I was thinking, either casing the place (but it is a secure apartment building) or will pressure for cash. I’m big and ugly enough to feel secure with a stranger, but you’re right, I’ll give the UK number a ring when they open this evening.
