Ancient Siberian genome reveals genetic origins of Native Americans -- ScienceDaily The genome sequence of a 24,000-year-old Siberian individual has provided a key piece of the puzzle in the quest for Native American origins. The ancient Siberian demonstrates genomic signatures that are basal to present-day western Eurasians and close to modern Native Americans. This surprising finding has great consequences for our understanding of how and from where ancestral Native Americans descended, and also of the genetic landscape of Eurasia 24,000 years ago. The breakthrough is reported in this week's Nature (Advance Online Publication) by an international team of scientists, led by the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark (University of Copenhagen). The search for Native American ancestors has been focused in northeastern Eurasia. In late 2009, researchers sampled at the Hermitage Museum, St. Instead, both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of MA-1 indicate that he was related to modern-day western Eurasians.

Hurricane Maria 'devastates' Dominica: PM Media playback is unsupported on your device Dominica has suffered "widespread damage" from Hurricane Maria, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says, as the storm hammers neighbouring Guadeloupe. "We have lost all that money can buy," Mr Skerrit said in a Facebook post. The hurricane suddenly strengthened to a "potentially catastrophic" category five storm, before making landfall on the Caribbean island. Earlier Mr Skerrit posted live updates as his roof was torn off, saying he was "at the complete mercy" of the storm. "My greatest fear for the morning is that we will wake to news of serious physical injury and possible deaths as a result of likely landslides triggered by persistent rains," he wrote after being rescued. Meanwhile officials on the French island of Guadeloupe are warning locals to stay sheltered, even if the hurricane appears to be easing in parts. "The phenomenon is still ongoing, it is necessary to remain in a safe place even if lulls appear," Mr Maire said. Where next?

Ancient Indian Proverb You have noticed that everything an Indian does in a circle,and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles,and everything and everything tries to be round. In the old days all our power came to us from the sacred hoopof the nation and so long as the hoop was unbroken the peopleflourished. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it isin everything where power moves. White Elk Hold On
theconversation Paru le 5 janvier 2018 aux États-Unis, le livre Fire and Fury fait parler de lui et envahira nos librairies d’ici un mois. Son auteur, le journaliste américain Michael Wolff, y dresse un portrait au vitriol de Donald Trump, présenté comme un président colérique, capricieux et incapable. Ce dernier n’a pas manqué de réagir avec brutalité en voulant faire interdire ce brûlot – avec pour seul effet de créer un immense coup de publicité, sans doute espéré et attendu par les éditeurs. En tout cas, les mots du titre ne viennent pas de nulle part et nous renvoient à l’été dernier. Le 8 août 2017, Donald Trump menaçait en effet de frapper le régime nord-coréen d’une puissance « de feu et de fureur telle que le monde n’en a jamais vu ». Dans les semaines qui suivirent, aucun des deux belligérants ne désarma dans l’escalade de la provocation nucléaire. On aurait sans doute en partie raison de dire qu’une telle violence dans les mots et les actes est le produit d’un homme colérique et complexé.
DNA Analysis Shows Native American Genealogy The suppression of the Native Americans and the decimation of their culture is a black page in the history of the United States. The discrimination and injustices towards this ancient race, which had lived on the American continent long before the European conquerors came to this land, are still present to this day despite the efforts of different groups and organizations trying to restore the justice. The destruction of their culture is one of the most shameful aspects of our history, the extent of the damage that was done is still being down-played and denied entry into textbooks and history-lessons to this day. The origin and history of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas have been studied for years by researchers from different countries, and a recent DNA study showed that the genealogy of the western aboriginals is one of the most unique in the world. This explanation was persuasive enough; however, there was no strong evidence to support it.
theconversation Hausse des droits de douane, abandon du traité transpacifique et du traité transatlantique, renégociation de l’ALENA, sanctions contre l’Iran, extra-territorialité… Alors même que Donald Trump justifie sa politique économique par la défense des intérêts des travailleurs américains, ces mesures pourraient au contraire fragiliser l’emploi aux États-Unis. Pour le comprendre, il faut se pencher sur les processus de productions et leur intégration au sein de chaînes de valeurs internationalisées. Des réseaux de production mondiaux complexes et interdépendants Dans les années 1990 et 2000, la croissance du commerce international a été tirée par la fragmentation des processus de production entre de nombreux pays partout sur la planète. Les entreprises, associées dans des réseaux mondiaux complexes de filiales et de sous-traitants, sont ainsi devenues plus interdépendantes.

Crimes against native culture and children The small state of Maine just took a big step towards statewide healing. In a new state report, The Pine Tree State owned up to the cultural genocide of indigenous communities, particularly the Wabanaki (“The People of the Dawn”) experience. Native Maine Children are “Five Times More Likely to Enter Foster Care” As reported in WCSH 6, the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report focused on the practice of ripping Wabanaki families and communities apart for the greater good of the nation: white assimilation. In textbooks, American Indian history may talk about specific events, like a war or the first Thanksgiving dinner, or contain benign words like “contact” with non-Natives. But textbooks are less likely to reveal the more insidious side of colonization, such as Indian boarding schools. Fortunately, the focus of the TRC report is what actually happened to indigenous people during colonization. But cultural genocide is only one truth.
These women's accomplishments tell another story of America Two American Democrat representatives have been forbidden to enter Israel: “What are Trump and Netanyahu afraid of?” questioned the New York Times in an op-ed stating that such a decision “shows weakness and intolerance, not strength”. The two Democratic representatives are Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota, and Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib. Together with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York’s 14th congressional district) and Ayanna Pressley (Massachusetts’ 7th district) they form what is known as “The Squad”. They are today among the most visible rising stars of a new multicultural and feminized generation of American politicians – one which will be a driver of the 2020 elections and beyond. Trump’s new favorite target Trump understands this and seems to be openly inciting his base for electoral gains. In July 2019, Donald Trump’s rally in North Carolina marked a particularly ugly turn in American politics. “The Squad” refuses to cave to the threats. A long history of marginalization 2018: the shift
