Nova York té un nou alcalde!
Dediquem el capítol 2x02 a #ZohranMamdani, fins fa poc un polític desconegut per a la majoria. Mamdani serà el "primer" en moltes coses i potser també el primer alcalde de #NovaYork amb un passat com a músic de rap. @apales.bsky.social

Neglect, it is.
WHO finds that the direct cause of "the mystery disease" in Congo is malaria, exacerbated by malnutrition. Malaria can be *cured* by a few cheap pills, as long as it's caught early. So these are deaths of neglect.

Illustration of Zhoukodian skull XII. Text: Jia Lanpo directed the excavation of three partial skulls from locus L at Zhoukoudian in November, 1936. The locus L hominins lived sometime between 780,000 and 680,000 years ago. The series of hominin remains from Zhoukoudian were named by Davidson Black as Sinanthropus pekinensis, but anthropologists today regard them as one of the best-known fossil samples of Homo erectus. Like other cranial remains from Zhoukoudian, the cranial base of skull XII was broken away, nearly all the facial bones are missing, and some extensive damage exists along the outside of the cranial vault. This evidence is consistent with the kind of damage left by large carnivores. A concordance of evidence from the site suggests that cave hyenas were responsible for accumulating many of the hominin remains at Zhoukoudian.

Illustration of Qafzeh 9 skull with text: Bernard Vandermeersch and Ofer Bar-Yosef led excavation at Qafzeh Cave in 1967 when the burials of two skeletons were uncovered. Qafzeh 9 is an adult found in a flexed position, with the Qafzeh 10 child skeleton at its feet. Anthropologists recognize that this adult individual shares most of its anatomical features with recent humans, but may not be directly connected to any recent populations. She or he was a young adult at the time of death, and had several age-related pathologies of the mandible, including malocclusion of the incisors, osteochondritis of the temporomandibular joint, and a fibroma. Probably none of these contributed to the death of this individual. The individual lived sometime between 100,000 and 90,000 years ago.
Qafzeh 9 is one of the most complete skeletal individuals of a population that lived in southwest Asia around 100,000 years ago. Their skeletons show many similarities with recent humans in their anatomy, and their cultures included some shell pendants and use of ochre.

We’re entering flu season with bird flu raging among US dairy cattle: ~third of CA herds infected.
The danger is flu viruses have a trick: they can swap segments —one farmworker co-infected by human and avian flu— to cause pandemics.
We may get lucky. I hope so.
