  1. The Edwin Smith Papyrus, over 3,500 years old, reveals that Egyptian surgeons understood wound care, bone setting, and basic brain anatomy 1,000 years earlier than thought. It’s not magic, but careful observation and skill. Deep knowledge often hides in plain sight.

  8. The role of goats in the world: Society, science, and sustainability

    by Christopher D. Lu, October 2023

    Highlights

    • Goats are intertwined with evolution of human civilization and dispersal.
    • Continuous scientific and technological development is crucial to sustain a viable goat sector as a force to alleviate food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty.
    • Role of goats are consequential to food and nutrition, economic, and environmental sustainability.

    Excerpts: "Goats have been a part of evolution of human civilization tracing back to the Neolithic period. Goat milk and meat were exploited from the beginning of the middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic B in the Near East (Helmer et al., 2007). Goat is one the first domesticated ungulates. Initial goat domestication has been documented in the highlands of Western Iran at 10,000 calibrated calendar years (YBP) ago (Zeder and Hesse, 2000, Hermes et al., 2020). Domestic goats (Capra hircus) is believed to be domesticated from wild bezoar populations (Capra aegagrus) (Zeder, 2008). Evidence in genetic markers suggested that multiple divergent ancient wild goat sources were domesticated in a dispersed process that resulted in genetically and geographically distinct Neolithic goat populations (Daly et al., 2018). A large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of wild and domestic goats suggested that area in Eastern Anatolia, Northern and Central Zagros to have been the domestication centers where almost all domestic goats were originally from (Naderi et al., 2008).

    "Presence of high mtDNA diversity in Inner Asian Mountain Corridor and Central Kazakhstan suggested that herding communities living in montane ecosystems were drawing from genetically diverse goat populations in the Iranian Plateau (Hermes et al., 2020). Analyses of the nearly complete mitochondrial protein-encoding genes of the goat revealed that the timing of population expansion of goats occurred in the Late Pleistocene and predated the now believed the beginning of goat domestication, approximately 10,000 YBP (Nomura et al., 2013). Demographic analyses using Multiple Sequentially Markovian Coalescent suggested that the divergence times between modern Asian and European goat populations might have predated the archaeologically estimated domestication time (Zheng et al., 2020). These observations raised the possibility that goats might have been domesticated even earlier than 10,000 YBP.

    "Domestication of goats has been closely related to human dispersal (Colli et al., 2018). Domesticated goats (Capra hircus) are at the subsistence core of pastoralist and farming communities around the world (Redding, 1984). From the Greek mythology of the half-human-half goat deity, Goat-knight Steed in the popular web series Critical Role, to Gogoat (Number 673 in Pokemon), goats have been part of history of human imagination. The roles of goats in the world are numerous, form entertainer, yoga enhancer, to food and fiber producer that has been an important part of life sustaining history of human civilization. The role of goats in nutrition, health, and food security is underscored by the continuous increase in global production and consumption of goat milk and meat."

  17. Denisovans May Have Interbred With Mysterious Group of Ancient Humans 

    John Bavaro Fine Arts/Science Photo For only the second time, researchers have obtained the full genome of a Denisovan, a group of ancient humans who lived in Asia. The DNA was extracted from a single 200,000-year-old tooth found in a Siberian cave.The genome reveals that there were at least three populations of Denisovans, with different histories. It also shows that early Denisovans interbred with an unidentified group of ancient humans........Continue reading.... By: Michael […]

The fact that the pebble was selected because of its appearance and then marked with ochre shows that there was a human mind capable of symbolising, imagining, idealising and projecting his or her thoughts on an object.

    Recommended #documentary film.

    Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

    A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.
