The Greeks paid a high price for political clientelism, corruption and populists like Varoufakis. Let's hope the tide is turning for them. And what about Argentina? It seems it suffered from the same disease. Big reforms are needed. Miley has put his finger on the wound, but is he the right...

It's complicated, indeed.

There is more about Basal Eurasian than only the lack of Neanderthal DNA. The Basal Eurasian DNA shares all the DNA with the Africans prior to the split with Eurasian DNA, yet it does not have any DNA specific to East Eurasian nor Common West Eurasian. In other words, it split from the Africans...

It's a high resolution story of both population turnovers in eastern Denmark. Behind both major turnovers there seem to be hidden many more turnovers by populations with very similar, but not exactly the same DNA.

the show must go on

Considering how long Neanderthals and homo sapiens lived side by side, it becomes obvious that interbreeding was the exception and not the rule.

In remote Siberia, hunter-gatherers built complex defenses 8000 years ago. We can now see there are many societies in the archaeological record who are hunter-gatherers but have many of the features we traditionally assumed were associated with farmers...

It is often the same people who are responable for the closure of the nuclear who are now alarmist about climate change. Sorry, but it does not do any good to the credibility of these people. If we hadn't shut down all these nuclear power plants, the climate wouldn't be saved yet, but we would...

Instead of explaining the fundamentals of energy production and consumption, activists try to mobilise the people by spreading panic. Whether this panic is justified or not, this strategy won't work and won't solve the problem.
