Radical Anthropology<p>'Modern humans were essentially like waves crashing on a beach, slowly but steadily eroding the beach away.” With this vivid simile, Princeton geneticist Joshua Akey describes a process that, until now, was shrouded in the mist of deep time: the incorporation, not extermination, of Neanderthals into the gene pool of modern humans.'</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anthropology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/humanevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanevolution</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Neanderthals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neanderthals</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Homosapiens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Homosapiens</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/palaeogenomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palaeogenomics</span></a></p><p><a href="https://modernengineeringmarvels.com/2025/05/26/unraveling-the-hidden-legacy-of-neanderthals-how-machine-learning-and-ancient-dna-are-redefining-human-evolution/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">modernengineeringmarvels.com/2</span><span class="invisible">025/05/26/unraveling-the-hidden-legacy-of-neanderthals-how-machine-learning-and-ancient-dna-are-redefining-human-evolution/</span></a></p>

Mojo ♻️<p>780,000-Year-Old Discovery Shakes Up Human Diet History <br>New evidence from Israel’s Gesher Benot Ya’aqov site reveals early humans relied heavily on plants, not just meat. Researchers found preserved remains of 55 different food plants, showing our ancestors had a varied, nutrient-rich vegetarian diet 780,000 years ago. <br>This challenges the "caveman diet" stereotype and proves plant-based nutrition has been key to human survival for millennia. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HumanEvolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanEvolution</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PaleoDiet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaleoDiet</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archaeology</span></a> <br> <a href="https://scitechdaily.com/780000-year-old-discovery-reveals-that-early-humans-thrived-on-a-plant-based-diet/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">scitechdaily.com/780000-year-o</span><span class="invisible">ld-discovery-reveals-that-early-humans-thrived-on-a-plant-based-diet/</span></a></p>
