Between 400000 - 48000 BCE, a human group, later called the Denisovans, lived in Asia which interbred with humans expanding from Africa along the coast of South Asia. In 2010 fossil evidence from a Siberian cave in 2008 revealed that their DNA was related to the DNA of people from New Guinea, which contained 4.8% Denisovan DNA. Around 3-5% of the DNA from native people of Papua New Guinea, Australia, Philippines and other nearby islands came from Denisovans, who left Africa as far back as 800,000 BCE. In 2014 scientists reported that a genetic between extinct Denisovans and some modern-day Tibetans and Sherpas had also been linked.

Food shops remain empty, with no customers in sight. Passenger traffic on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route has significantly declined. Where 30-35 buses once operated daily, the number has dropped to just 5-10.

The New Market area in central Kolkata includes 10 to 12 key streets, such as Sudder Street, Marquis Street, Mirza Ghalib Street, and Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road. These streets are lined with hundreds of shops, all largely reliant on Bangladeshi tourists.

Tourism in India’s Kolkata has significantly declined, leading to the collapse of a substantial part of the city’s economy. Businesses reliant on Bangladeshi tourists have closed, forcing many to seek alternative livelihoods.At the beginning of the new year, many hotels in Kolkata’s New Mar...

Calling women ‘household objects’ now permitted on Facebook after Meta updated its guidelines - Meta on Tuesday announced sweeping changes to how it moderates content that will roll out in the coming months, including doing away with professional fact checking. But the company also quietly updated its hateful conduct policy, adding new types of content users can post on the platform, effective immediately.

Users are now allowed to, for example, refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it,’” according to a section of the policy prohibiting such speech that was crossed out. A new section of the policy notes Meta will allow “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality.”

Previously, such comments would have been subject to removal under the policy. The changes to Meta’s hateful conduct policy were first reported by Wired. Meta had hinted in its announcement about its content moderation policy changes Tuesday morning that it would get rid of restrictions on certain topics, such as immigration and gender identity, and allow more political discussions. But the updated policy shows just how quickly Meta is moving to enact CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for “free expression.”

Meta on Tuesday also announced it would do away with its network of independent fact checkers in the United States and will instead rely on user-generated “community notes” to add context to posts. It also said it would adjust its automated systems that scan for policy violations, which it says have resulted in “too much content being censored that shouldn’t have been.” The systems will now be focused only on extreme violations such as child sexual exploitation and terrorism.

Zuckerberg acknowledged that the new approach will mean “that we’re going to catch less bad stuff, but we’ll also reduce the number of innocent people’s posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.”

Delaying cord clamping for this time frame allows for higher distribution of blood to your infant rather than leaving this precious blood in the placenta.

If cord clamping occurs 10–15 seconds after birth, 67% of the umbilical cord blood goes to the infant. By 1 minute of age, the amount of cord blood in the placenta passed to the infant increases to 80%.

Waiting 30–60 seconds after birth is considered the proper cord clamping time frame due to the health benefits for your baby. For babies born prematurely, delaying cord clamping for 30–60 seconds decreases the serious complications of prematurity that can be life-threatening. Full-term babies are less likely to be iron-deficient at 3–6 months of age, which is important for health and development.

South America is characterized by a diverse and complex natural topography that significantly influences its ecosystems, climate, and human activities. The continent is home to the Andes Mountains, which are the longest mountain range in the world, stretching over 7,000 kilometers along the western edge. These mountains create a dramatic elevation change from the Pacific coast to the interior regions, leading to various microclimates and rich biodiversity.

In addition to the Andes, the continent features expansive lowlands, including the Amazon Basin, which hosts the largest rainforest on Earth. This region is vital for global ecological balance, supporting an immense variety of flora and fauna. The Amazon River, one of the longest rivers in the world, flows through this basin, shaping the landscape and providing essential resources for both wildlife and local communities.

Other notable geographical regions include the Pampas, which are fertile plains conducive to agriculture in Argentina; the Pantanal, which is the world's largest tropical wetland; and the Atacama Desert in Chile, regarded as one of the driest places on the planet. The interplay of mountains, plains, deserts, and river systems contributes to the continent's rich agricultural potential and natural resources, making it a region of significant interest for environmental and economic study. Understanding South America's natural topography is crucial for addressing ecological concerns and fostering sustainable development.
