Damian YerrickDon't give your pet mouse 🐁️ a tattoo. A study by Capucetti et al. in PNAS found the ink lingers in lymph nodes for months and kills immune cells. Effect on vaccines varied; Comirnaty (for COVID) injected into a tattoo was weaker while the flu jab was stronger.

SpeckdäneResearchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and others have successfully identified a previously unknown cyclic climate pattern by historical reanalysis of datasets and satellite observations. The findings are published in #PNAS. https://idw-online.de/en/news861949
Noticias La InsuperableAltamura, el neandertal que derrumba un dogma: la nariz mejor conservada del registro fósil cambia lo que creíamos saber
Un estudio internacional analizó por primera vez la cavidad nasal íntegra del célebre neandertal de Altamura, en el sur de Italia, y tiró abajo décadas de interpretaciones sobre la adaptación de esta especie al frío europeo. El hallazgo revela que no existían los rasgos internos “exclusivos” que muchos científicos atribuían a los neandertales, lo que obliga a revisar teorías clásicas sobre su anatomía y su evolución.

New long-term data from Ngogo chimpanzees show that lethal territorial gains led to major boosts in fertility and infant survival. The findings offer a rare, living model for how spatial competition and resource control may have shaped past hominin societies. #Anthropology #Primates #HumanEvolution #PNAS
Primatology.netA long-term study of the Ngogo chimpanzees shows that lethal territorial aggression led to a 22 percent range expansion, doubled birth rates, and dramatically improved infant survival.

A uniquely preserved Neanderthal skull from Italy reveals that their famous noses were not shaped by cold adaptation after all. Altamura’s nasal cavity forces a rethink of how Neanderthals grew, breathed, and evolved. #Neanderthals #Paleoanthropology #HumanEvolution #PNAS https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-cave-that-reshaped-a-face-what
