Humankind gradually evolved from early members of the genus Homo—such as Homo habilis, who used simple stone tools—into anatomically modern humans as well as behaviourally modern humans by the Upper Paleolithic During the end of the Paleolithic Age, specifically the Middle or Upper Paleolithic Age, humans began to produce the earliest works of art and to engage in religious or spiritual behavior such as burial and ritual[page needed][need quotation to verify] Conditions during the Paleolithic Age went through a set of glacial and interglacial periods in which the climate periodically fluctuated between warm and cool temperaturesAnthropologists have typically assumed that in Paleolithic societies, women were responsible for gathering wild plants and firewood, and men were responsible for hunting and scavenging dead animals
However, analogies to existent hunter-gatherer societies such as the Hadza people and the Aboriginal Australians suggest that the sexual division of labor in the Paleolithic was relatively flexible Men may have participated in gathering plants, firewood and insects, and women may have procured small game animals for consumption and assisted men in driving herds of large game animals (such as woolly mammoths and deer) off cliffs Additionally, recent research by anthropologist and archaeologist Steven Kuhn from the University of Arizona is argued to support that this division of labor did not exist prior to the Upper Paleolithic and was invented relatively recently in human pre-history Sexual division of labor may have been developed to allow humans to acquire food and other resources more efficiently
Possibly there was approximate parity between men and women during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic, and that period may have been the most gender-equal time in human history Archaeological evidence from art and funerary rituals indicates that a number of individual women enjoyed seemingly high status in their communities, and it is likely that both sexes participated in decision making The earliest known Paleolithic shaman (c 30,000 BP) was female
Jared Diamond suggests that the status of women declined with the adoption of agriculture because women in farming societies typically have more pregnancies and are expected to do more demanding work than women in hunter-gatherer societies Like most modern hunter-gatherer societies, Paleolithic and Mesolithic groups probably followed a largely ambilineal approach At the same time, depending on the society, the residence could be virilocal, uxorilocal, and sometimes the spouses could live with neither the husband's relatives nor the wife's relatives at all Taken together, most likely, the lifestyle of hunter-gatherers can be characterized as multilocal
So yeah, it can happen naturally to someone that's otherwise healthy and doesn't have a history of this sort of infection The trouble is, it's not especially common either, so when the second whistleblower dies during a short span of months once investigators are actually paying attention, it's not something that should be ignored Unfortunately given the budget that Boeing and its rich execs and board members have, it would probably be trivial to find a way to pay an assailant to do something to whistleblowers that doesn't easily tie back to them so long as they're not stupid about how they transfer funds50, but yeah that 44 thing sounds spot on
My knees started to get funky and my hair started to rapidly greyI hate it My advice to kids;- Dont get old, its a trapTOLAN: He's a maintenance man at Chaco, one of those invisible people in the national parks who keep the roads clean and the lights burning
He's Navajo, a storytellerDriving with ChatGPT is driving in the rear-view mirror It's great for middle of the bell curve stuff, certainly better than humans, but it will never make progress“Isotopes provide a chemical fingerprint of a consumer’s diet and can be compared with those from potential diet items to estimate the proportional contribution of different diet items,” Mat Wooller of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, who participated in the study, said in a university statement
In other words, Wooller and his colleagues were able to estimate the proportions of different food sources within the woman’s diet Test Review Results Diagnose
If a $50K car diagnostic scanner can do that, I donâ(TM)t see why AI canâ(TM)t in medicineThat's easy if you can run a complete set of tests and don't have false positive results from those tests In real life, test results are ambiguous, better tests are expensive, doctors have to accept inputs like it hurts when I do this as a starting point, patients don't want to admit how little they exercise or how badly they eat, and so onThe axolotl and other salamanders are not the only animals that can regenerate
Hydras, starfish, flat worms, zebrafish, and even the African spiny mouse all have the capacity to regenerate themselves to a certain degree So next time you encounter one of these creatures whilst exploring the Grant Museum, remember that although they may look simple these animals have science fiction powers that, right now, humans can only dream aboutThat's exactly the point It *ramps up*, it doesn't step up
You could point to any point on the ramp and say that's a step up, and *someone* would agree simply due to individual differences and statisticsI've seen this first-hand A friend of mine is a 3rd generation descendent of what was at one time a very wealthy family His father had always managed the family money and nobody else had access to the accounts
His father was diagnosed with dementia shortly after a car accident, and that's when they discovered he had wasted away millions of dollars on bad investments There was basically nothing left My friend had to deal for years with extended family suing his father (who by that point was non-verbal) for mismanaging various family trusts It wasn't malicious- he had just lost his ability to handle their affairs
The only saving grace for his mother was that they owned a valuable home outright, which was enough to purchase a modest home and enough for her to live on (though nowhere near their former lifestyle)I guess the moral of the story is that it's dangerous to have a single person with exclusive access to a family's finances If at all possible, a spouse, child, relative, or family friend should have some visibility and ability to take over if there are signs of diminished capacity
