Big, aggressive & mean when irritated. Does NOT like quacks & charlatans. Skeptic. Likes craft beer. RT isn't endorsement.
Does this sound familiar?
โThe German armies were in bad shape. Every soldier and civilian was hungry. Losses in material could not be replaced and the soldiers arriving as replacements were too young, poorly trained and often unwilling to risk their necks because the war looked like a lost cause.โ
This was the state of the German military in 1918, just before the collapse.

Martin Holland#Human ancestors nearly went extinct 900,000 years ago
A new technique analysing modern #genetic data suggests that pre-humans survived in a group of only 1,280 individuals.
โAbout 98.7% of human ancestors were lost,โ says Haipeng Li, a population geneticist at the University of Chinese Academy of #Sciences in Beijing, who co-led the study. He says that the fossil record in Africa and Eurasia between 950,000 and 650,000 years ago is patchy and that โthe #discovery of this bottleneck may explain the chronological gapโ.

Pet peeves: Dear Amazon, despite my recent purchase, I do NOT collect mop handles.
Dear Academia.edu, I really don't need an email every time someone cites me - and certainly not, when someone cites a person with a similar name.
