To my mind, i think it certainly puts to bed the idea that there was no migration or simply ‘elite replacement’. Certainly what we see has to have involved movement of groups of people, because you have cemeteries of people who only have ancestry from continental Europe. But how far this involved…

Wow - “from the 6th century CE we detect widespread influx of ancestry in over 70% of individuals in southern 'Anglo-Saxon' Britain, with limited local admixture”.

After an exhibition of John Nash's work in 1922, a critic wrote: 'A painting by John Nash is like a sentence spoken by a gentleman, perfectly enunciated, quiet, complete, yet with a certain reserve about it as of things left unsaid.'

Monbiot is right to point out how “the centre” has been redefined. This isn’t just political drift, it’s what happens when discourse is shaped by systems that reward outrage and performance over verification.

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To the people claiming the Russian military is winning: Russia has 3 stated objectives. 1: To Defeat and disband the Ukrainian military. 2: To arrest the political enemies of Putin within Ukraine 3: To create a new government. Which of these has their military achieved?

One of the biggest lessons from Syria is that, just a month ago, almost no one could have predicted the Assad regime would fall today. The "realities on the ground" crowd would have denied such a possibility. A reminder of why people in Ukraine fight rather than surrender.

A fundamental challenge for liberal democracies. During the Cold War, the openness of Western information systems was a massive asset, that contributed to the weakening of the USSR. Today that openness has been Trojan horsed by Western and non-Western social media. www.ft.com/content/9c88...

The condition of fabrics from pile dwelling and wetland settlements is amazing. This charred ball of thread was found at the site of Marin-Epagnier/Préfargier. It was made of hemp or lime fibres, and dates about 3900-3300BC. The thread measures a total of ca. 10m in length. 📷Laténium 🏺 #archaeology

People need to calm down about the Oreshnik missile. (Not about the strike itself, which was barbarous Putin chest-thumping.) It's a medium range ballistic missile. Of course it's faster than the speed of sound because that's what ballistic missiles do. Don't fall for "AMAZING SUPERWEAPON" hype.
