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?

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.
Enlightenment
Centered on the dialogues and publications of the French “philosophes” (Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Buffon and Diderot), the High Enlightenment might best be summed up by one historian’s summary of Voltaire’s “Philosophical Dictionary”: “a chaos of clear ideas.” Foremost among these was the notion that everything in the universe could be rationally demystified and cataloged. The signature publication of the period was Diderot’s “Encyclopédie” (1751-77), which brought together leading authors to produce an ambitious compilation of human knowledge. It was an age of enlightened despots like Frederick the Great, who unified, rationalized and modernized Prussia in between brutal multi-year wars with Austria, and of enlightened would-be revolutionaries like Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, whose “Declaration of Independence” (1776) framed the American Revolution in terms taken from of Locke’s essays.
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.

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.
