El próximo 1 de noviembre, la Plaza del Crist de Saner y Negrals,  se llenará de ritmo y compromiso con la celebración de un concierto solidario a beneficio de Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF). La cita, organizada po Ximo Carrió con el apoyo de la banda Bultacos, el Ayuntamiento y la Comisión de Fiestas 2026, comenzará a las 17:30 horas y contará con la participación altruista de Homo Sapiens, Bultacos, La Sequià, De La Nada, Cachimba, Skikos, DJ Miki y DJ Natt.

Der Homo sapiens hat sich in Afrika entwickelt und von dort aus verbreitet. Da sind sich Forschende bislang weitgehend einig. Eine neue Studie über die Rekonstruktion eines fossilen Schädels aus China scheint an dieser Theorie nun zu rütteln.

Sme ako ľudstvo banda geniálnych psychopatov alebo len veľmi naivní a hlúpi sebeckí idioti? V dnešných Drístoch do vetru si berieme na mušku to najväčšie existenciálne protirečenie: nás samotných!Rozoberieme, prečo dokážeme pochopiť vesmírne zákony, ale nevieme si zapamätať heslo do Wi-Fi. Hľadáme odpoveď na to, prečo sme stvorili AI, len aby sme ju používali na tie najzbytočnejšie veci. A samozrejme, priznáme si, kto z nás je len "Morálny Chodec" – ten, kto sa ledva drží v rámci základných pravidiel, a kto už klesol na úroveň korporátneho sociopata.Pripravte sa na dávku irónie, štipku filozofie a kopec drístov o tom, že najväčšou záhadou sveta nie je vesmír, ale človek s nákupným vozíkom, ktorému sa zaseklo koliesko.Nalaďte sa!

Bisher galt: Der Homo Sapiens hat sich einst in Afrika entwickelt und von dort aus verbreitet. Doch eine neue Studie scheint nun an der bisherigen Theorie zu rütteln. Von Sebastian Kirschner

There's fresh drama in the field of human origins! A new analysis of an ancient hominid skull from China challenges what we thought we knew about our ancestral family tree, and its timeline—at least according to the researchers who wrote the paper. The new study claims that Homo sapiens, and some of our relatives, could have emerged at least half a million years earlier than we thought. But big claims require big evidence.Anthropologist John Hawks joins Host Flora Lichtman to piece together the details.Guest: Dr. John Hawks is an anthropologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Neandertaler waren keine primitiven Halbaffen, sondern eine Menschenart mit Sprache, Kultur, Ritualen, und entwickeltem Sozialverhalten. Sie haben die gleichen Vorfahren wie der moderne Mensch, begegneten dem Homo Sapiens über mehrere Jahrtausende und zeugten mit ihm Nachkommen. Noch heute trägt der moderne Mensch Gene dieses Vorfahren in sich. Von Geseko von Lübke (BR 2023)

Saviez-vous que nos ancêtres Homo sapiens utilisaient déjà des teintures végétales il y a 34 000 ans ? Dans cet épisode captivant du podcast ArtEcoVert, nous avons le plaisir d'accueillir Pauline Leroux, ingénieure agronome passionnée par la couleur végétale et les plantes tinctoriales. Ensemble, nous plongeons dans une découverte archéologique fascinante qui remet en question notre compréhension des capacités créatives de nos ancêtres. Pauline nous fait découvrir une étude récente publiée dans la revue PLOS ONE, qui met en lumière des résidus de guède retrouvés dans la grotte de Dzudzuana, en Géorgie. Ces résidus, contenant de l'indigotine, prouvent que ces hommes préhistoriques savaient transformer les feuilles en couleurs, un processus chimique complexe qui nécessite observation et expérimentation. Cette révélation nous pousse à réfléchir à la manière dont la teinture végétale, qu'elle soit à base d'indigo, de garance, ou d'autres colorants biosourcés, a façonné notre rapport à l'art et à la couleur. Pauline souligne que cette quête d'esthétisme et de sens ne se limitait pas à la survie, mais s'étendait à une véritable exploration des nuances et des pigments végétaux. Comment ces pratiques anciennes influencent-elles notre compréhension de la couleur et de l'art aujourd'hui ? En écoutant cet épisode, vous découvrirez l'importance des fibres naturelles et des tanins dans la création de colorants végétaux, ainsi que l'impact de l'agriculture tinctoriale sur notre environnement et nos jardins. Ne manquez pas cette occasion d'approfondir vos connaissances sur les plantes tinctoriales et leur rôle dans notre histoire culturelle. Que vous soyez un passionné de couleur, un amateur d'art ou simplement curieux d'en savoir plus sur les trésors que nous offre le monde végétal, cet épisode d'ArtEcoVert est fait pour vous. Pour en savoir plus sur les sujets abordés, consultez les liens utiles dans la description. Belle écoute et laissez-vous inspirer par la voix de la couleur végétale avec Pauline ! ArtEcoVert informe et inspire celles et ceux qui veulent repenser la couleur autrement, et les accompagne dans leur transition vers une couleur plus durable — avec des témoignages concrets le jeudi

Growing up, I excelled in my science classes in school, but I never truly enjoyed them. I could handle the memorization, but I never understood why some people are so concerned with some parts of science. The fascination that some have with dinosaurs and prehistoric times is something I don't understand. Some scientists are suggesting that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals began interbreeding tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. That's fascinating, but does it really matter? While we may learn about what happened in our past, it doesn't necessarily change what's happening in the present...

Pesquisas arqueológicas em Moçambique estão a mostrar que o país foi uma “zona de charneira” nas movimentaçoes de populações entre a África Austral e a África Oriental na Pré-História. O trabalho está a ser orientado pelo arqueólogo Nuno Bicho que contou à RFI ter encontrado entre “300 ou 400 jazidas arqueológicas com vários períodos”, as mais importantes no Vale do Limpopo, no Vale do Save e junto ao ao Lago Niassa. Nuno Bicho começou as pesquisas arqueológicas em Moçambique há 15 anos. Desde então, o arquólogo da Universidade do Algarve encontrou entre “300 ou 400 jazidas arqueológicas com vários períodos”, nomeadamente no Vale do Limpopo, no Vale do Save e junto ao ao Lago Niassa. “Nós temos várias jazidas arqueológicas que são, digamos, dos últimos 100 mil anos”, ou seja, na Idade da Pedra Lascada, explica o investigador, acrescentando que há um “conjunto alargado de ocupações de várias Idades”. Moçambique é uma peça central para compreender a mobilidade das populações dentro de África e assim ir percebendo melhor o puzzle da evolução humana. Nuno Bicho explica porquê: “A nossa espécie Homo Sapiens aparece há cerca de 300 mil anos em África e move-se no continente africano e, por vezes, saiu do continente africano. Mas do ponto de vista genético, nunca teve resultados evidentes e apenas uma saída de África, da África Oriental, há cerca talvez de 80 mil anos, entre 80 e  60 mil anos, deu resultado para aquilo que somos hoje e espalhou a nossa espécie por todo o mundo. Aquilo que eu, neste momento, estou a tentar perceber, é como é que dentro de África, dentro do espaço do continente africano, se deram essas movimentações que permitiram a saída desse grupo, há cerca de 80 mil anos, para fora de África. Nós sabemos que há principalmente duas áreas muito importantes do ponto de vista de desenvolvimento cultural: uma é a África Austral e a outra é a África Oriental. Nós não sabemos ainda qual é a relação entre as duas e, aparentemente, do ponto de vista genético, parece haver informação que sugere que o grupo que saiu para fora da África veio da África Austral. Portanto, era fundamental perceber-se o que é que acontece entre as duas regiões. Ora, Moçambique é uma das áreas com potencial para se perceber como é que se deu esta mobilidade, esta migração interna ao continente africano e a ligação entre as duas regiões.” Assim, “Moçambique é uma zona de charneira” na conexão de populações que se movimentavam entre a África Austral e a África Oriental na Pré-História. Agora, é preciso perceber quando e como se cruzam. “Vamos proceder a um conjunto de análises, essencialmente de modelação matemática, que juntam os dados que vêm da África Austral com os da África Oriental e tentar perceber exactamente quando e como é que se deu esta passagem entre as duas áreas. Moçambique, naturalmente, estando no meio, é sem dúvida nenhuma, um elemento importante que nos vai permitir perceber esta movimentação e conexão”, acrescenta Nuno Bicho. Nas jazidas arqueológicas de Moçambique encontraram-se materiais dos nossos antepassados porque, geralmente, eram zonas com actividades diárias destes “caçadores-recolectores”. “Aquilo que nós podemos concluir é que muito devido às características dessa cultura material das ferramentas, parece haver uma diferença marcada entre a zona do Niassa e a zona do Save e do Limpopo e, portanto, significa que há áreas de influência cultural que são diferentes. Muito provavelmente do Niassa estão ligadas com Tanzânia e o Malawi (como regiões que se conhecem hoje politicamente), enquanto que as zonas do Save e do Limpopo se encontram mais relacionadas com a África Austral. Isso sabemos. Sabemos que eles utilizavam um conjunto alargado de espécies de animais, não sabemos quais ainda, mas saberemos no futuro através de várias análises. Sabemos que eles utilizavam um conjunto de outras espécies, nomeadamente espécies aquáticas, porque temos um conjunto alargado de conchas de várias espécies nalguns dos sítios arqueológicos. Também sabemos que eles utilizavam a casca dos ovos de avestruz essencialmente por motivos decorativos fazendo contas para colares, etc.” Há três anos o Conselho Europeu de Investigação concedeu uma bolsa de cinco anos ao arqueólogo que promete continuar as pesquisas e a procura de financiamento para prosseguir as pesquisas. Nuno Bicho tem trabalhado, no campo, com alunos de arqueologia da Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Há artefactos que são tratados nos laboratórios do Departamento de Antropologia e Arqueologia dessa universidade moçambicana, mas há outros que são enviados para Portugal, analisados e depois retornados e depositados na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Por enquanto, ainda não é possível fazer tudo em Moçambique. “Não há capacidade financeira para investir em arqueologia, particularmente na Idade da Pedra. Esse é um aspecto. E segundo, a formação ainda é limitada na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, que é a única universidade que tem arqueologia. Apesar de terem uma licenciatura e haver muitos alunos a terminar todos os anos felizmente - porque isso de facto promove o estudo do património arqueológico e possibilita uma defesa muito relevante - mas depois não tem formações avançadas após a licenciatura. São países externos como Portugal, como a Universidade do Algarve, que permitem fazer esse desenvolvimento. Neste momento, já há perto de meia dúzia de doutorados em Moçambique em Arqueologia. Há 15 anos, quando eu comecei, havia apenas uma pessoa. É muito relevante este trabalho. E não foi só a Universidade do Algarve a fazer isso, há universidades também na Suécia que promovem esse tipo de trabalho. Há vários doutorados na Suécia”, conta Nuno Bicho. O arqueólogo também esteve a pesquisar o mesmo período da evolução humana no Sudão, mas a investigação está, por enquanto, interrompida, no terreno, devido à guerra.

Where do we come from? The origins of modern humans stretch back hundreds of thousands of years, and new discoveries are reshaping how we understand our species' story. In this episode, recorded on location at London's Natural History Museum, Tristan Hughes speaks with Professor Chris Stringer, one of the world's leading paleoanthropologists. Together they explore fossil evidence, our genetic links to Africa, encounters with Neanderthals, and the search for “Mitochondrial Eve.”This is your definitive guide to how Homo sapiens emerged and spread across the planet.MOREThe First Britons -https://open.spotify.com/episode/5cKCCdeptxhxOMRD8HGavq?si=5127601ade01478bHuman Evolution: Dragon Man -https://open.spotify.com/episode/128XsUffcThVirTghas7OA?si=34c571e9526f491dPresented by Tristan Hughes.

Humans have always tried to augment and enhance bodily flaws, from eye glasses to prostheses and pacemakers. But something qualitatively different is happening today. The transhumanist movement basically sees humans as biological algorithms.They want to break into the genetic code and the brain and change what a person is into something else. They believe nature has come as far as it can, and now it is we who drive evolution. We are the ones in charge of creating the next version of Homo Sapiens.“It's a new religion”, says psychologist and philosopher Harald Walach, who has written a comprehensive report about transhumanism.It's a staunchly materialist, godless religion.Seeing the body as a machine and the brain as a computer are metaphors that can be useful in some instances, like when we have had an accident. But it is a category mistake to take these metaphors to be the whole reality.“It's like taking the menu for lunch. You can't eat the menu”, says Harald Walach.A crucial and tricky question is whether the interventions transhumanists envision might mess around with consciousness. Harald distinguishes between psyche and soul.“These interventions can definitely change the mental state of people. But the soul is very likely untouchable.”The transhumanists are a heterogeneous collection of people.“They are various groups with different intentions. Some dedicate their efforts to abolishing death and aging. Some are more on the tech side, connecting human and machine. Others have a more philosophical approach reminiscent of the Nietzschean übermensch.”“A common theme is that they all want to create a transhumanist being with enhanced faculties that are greater than in current humans.”Interestingly, transhumanists aren't particularly good at science.“I don't think many scientists are transhumanistic, because scientists generally know about the intricate problems associated with what transhumanists talk about”, says Harald.“Transhumanists are science fanatics who don't really do science. Many are in the tech industry.”At the core of the transhumanist agenda are medical interventions, in particular genetic manipulation.“We've already seen it happening during the pandemic: Genetic prevention technologies masquerading as vaccines”, says Harald.Was there a nefarious agenda?“That's irrelevant. The thinking, the ideology and the technology were there. As I see it, it is like mushrooms. If you walk in a forest you may not see any mushrooms, but the mycelium is there, under the surface. When the conditions are right, they pop up everywhere.”To materialists, death is the ultimate catastrophe. There are transhumanists, like Aubrey de Grey, who want to abolish it.Ethical and logical objections aside, abolishing death would lead to absurd consequences, Harald points out: The population would quickly increase. By default one would have to prohibit procreation. This in turn would lead to fascistoid governing. Without young people, there would be no new ideas.“Philosophically speaking, life's finiteness creates meaning. If we don't die, we don't need to make any important decisions:, says Harald.He thinks it's imperative that we have an open discussion about the transhumanist agenda now. The proponents are a minority, but they are influential.“We need to ask ourselves: Are we willing to accept a transcendent realm that is beyond our human grip, that we cannot control?”Harald's websiteHarald's Transhumanism report

In this episode, I chat with Jesse Myers, a Bitcoin strategy advisor and the author of the essay Once-in-a-Species. He shares deep excitement for Bitcoin treasury companies and how they might be the gateway for TradFi capital to enter Bitcoin at scale. We also dive deep into the evolutionary roots of money and how the innate human drive for scarcity laid the groundwork for the concept of money, civilization itself, and ultimately Bitcoin as the perfection of scarcity. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– Theya is the world's simplest Bitcoin self-custody solution.

Dinosauri ed esseri umani potrebbero avere convissuto? Ovviamente no, tutto quello che sappiamo dalla paleontologia alla genetica, dall'archeologia alla geologia ci dice che sono passati circa 66 milioni di anni tra l'ultimo dinosauro e il primo Homo Sapiens. Tuttavia, a Glen Rose, una cittadina del Texas, esiste un museo dove sono esposti reperti che, a detta di alcuni, contraddirebbero questo fatto. Per esempio? Un martello metallico inglobato in una roccia risalente al Cretaceo; Un'orma umana gigantesca impressa proprio a Glen Rose in uno strato roccioso formatosi milioni di anni prima che l'essere umano comparisse sulla Terra con l'aspetto e le dimensioni a noi note. Lo stesso strato roccioso conserva anche orme di dinosauri. E allora?

Nicola Verde"Centododici"Il sangue e la profeziaLa Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.itIl destino dell'umanità è già scritto?Roma, anno 2012: lo scienziato Ludovico Frangipane si appresta a rivelare una sensazionale scoperta sul Dna umano, preludio di una graduale sostituzione della specie Homo Sapiens a favore di un nuovo ramo evolutivo, ma prima che possa farlo viene ucciso. A indagare in solitaria sulla sua morte, rubricata troppo in fretta come incidente, è il commissario Athos De Roberti, amico di gioventù della vittima, con l'aiuto imprevisto di un sacerdote che si rivelerà un agente dei Servizi segreti vaticani. La scoperta di Frangipane sembra infatti avvalorare le predizioni contenute nella Profezia di San Malachia, nelle visioni mistiche di San Bernardo di Chiaravalle e soprattutto in una pergamena, la Reliquia più sacra, contesa tra due sette che si proclamano discendenti degli Esseni. La trama si sviluppa su diversi piani temporali, coinvolgendo anche il lettore in un'indagine atipica tra Medioevo e contemporaneità. La posta in gioco non è solo la verità sulla morte dello scienziato, ma la conferma dell'approssimarsi di un'apocalisse che lascerà intatto il mondo, cambiando solo l'umanità come finora l'abbiamo conosciuta.Nicola VerdeVincitore di alcuni prestigiosi premi dedicati al giallo, alla fantascienza e al fantastico, è presente in numerosissime antologie.

Humans are everywhere. How did we get from the savannahs of Africa across to the most northern reaches of Alaska and Greenland, to the outbacks of Australia and the islands of the Pacific millennia ago? How did we master fire, figure out how to craft tools and survive the Ice Ages?In this episode Dan is joined by Professor Chris Stringer, Research Leader in Human Evolution at London's Natural History Museum, to talk about how Homo Sapiens managed to outlive other human cousins like Neanderthals and Denisovans and cross oceans s hape landscapes and one day, build cities and space shuttles.Produced by James Hickmann, Mariana Des Forges and edited by Tim Arstall.You can now find Dan Snow's History Hit on YouTube!

Hace apenas 10 mil años, en el norte de lo que hoy llamamos Europa, se libró una batalla que definió el dominio de los Homo Sapiens sobre los Neanderthales. Su agilidad, inteligencia y, sobre todo, el cambiante clima hacía uno significativamente más caliente, inclinó la balanza para que su superioridad fuera inminente. Sin embargo, los Neanderthales no se extinguieron, solo se replegaron hacia zonas más frías del planeta. En este episodio, Andrés Cota Hiriart, biólogo, escritor y host de Masaje Cerebral, nos acompaña para conversar cómo habría sido en mundo con distintas especies de homínidos conviviendo en la actualidad.Este es un podcast de ucronías: relatos de ficción basados en hechos históricos pero que no sucedieron.

In this fossil-fueled episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts unpack a new discovery: lizard-like footprints in Australia that could rewrite the timeline of tetrapod evolution by 40 million years. From the science of peer review to the philosophical weight of evidence, the panel dives into how science self-corrects, why tentative claims aren't failures, and how our distant past continues to shape our future.

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! On n'y pense pas forcément tous les jours, mais comment ça se fait que ce soit notre espèce humaine qui peuple la Terre aujourd'hui ? Parce qu'à la Préhistoire, Homo Sapiens, eh bah c'était qu'une espèce hominine parmi d'autres, alors comment on en est arrivé là ? Pourquoi il n'y en a plus d'autres existantes aujourd'hui ? Comment ça s'est fait, et comment le sait-on ? Eh bien pour le découvrir, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir Jean-Jacques Hublin, un paléoanthropologue spécialiste d'Homo Sapiens. Cet entretien a aussi été l'occasion de faire un point sur la paléoanthropologie, la discipline qui étudie l'évolution humaine… Alors direction la Préhistoire, je vous souhaite une bonne écoute sur Nota Bene !➤ Pour en savoir plus sur le sujet, découvrez : ➜ La tyrannie du cerveau : https://www.librairie-archeologique.com/index.html?produit=57421 ➜ Les cours de Jean-Jacques au Collège de France : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOj9pZ2YNGZ8Ch5FBb6XK-WSNYyv9qmfz

Se cree que el arte surgió hace 30.000 años, de la mente y las manos de nuestro antepasado Homo Sapiens. Pero un descubrimiento reciente en la región francesa de Touraine podría alterar estas certezas. Al final de una cueva desconocida, La Roche Cotard, los prehistoriadores han identificado algunos grabados sorprendentes. ¿Qué edad tienen estos dibujos inusuales? ¿Son obra del Homo Sapiens? ¿O podrían haber sido creados por otra especie humana más antigua: los hombres de Neandertal? Estas misteriosas tallas podrían cambiar lo que creíamos saber sobre los orígenes del arte. Durante el Neolítico, ¿cómo supuso el nacimiento de la agricultura y la ganadería una revolución en la alimentación de nuestros antepasados? ¿Por qué, en un principio, este cambio abrupto puso en peligro la salud de la humanidad? ¿Cómo tendría esta nueva dieta también importantes consecuencias en la evolución anatómica, genética y cognitiva de los humanos? ¿Qué papel jugó en este proceso el nacimiento de la cultura culinaria, del conocimiento en la preparación y conservación de los platos? Tantas preguntas que quedan por explorar.

Ce hors-série inédit est l'enregistrement d'une conférence "Les grands récits", donnée à l'Abbaye Saint-Germain d'Auxerre le 3 mai 2025. J'y développe un angle original rare de l'origine des noms des espèces : qui sont ces grands explorateurs les plus (et les moins) souvent mis à l'honneur ? Pourquoi n'y-a-t aucune femme ? Qui sont ces espèces - souvent inconnues - estampillées de noms humains célèbres ?_______

Las mañanas de RNE con Josep Cuní se fija, en la noticia científica, en un descubrimiento arqueológico. Investigadores nacionales e internacionales han hallado evidencias en Burgos de que neandertales y homo sapiens coexistieron en la península Ibérica hace alrededor de 45.000 años. El estudio, publicado por la revista Scientific Reports, revela que ambas especies se cruzaron y tuvieron descendencia fértil dando lugar a lo que ahora se conoce como cultura arlanciense. Un reemplazo gradual y complejo, una Edad de Oro dados los importantísimos avances que se produjeron. Lo comentamos con Manuel Rojo, líder de la investigación y catedrático de Prehistoria en la Universidad de Valladolid.Escuchar audio

Quand, et où, les premiers humains sont-ils apparus sur Terre ? Si les premiers Homo sapiens sont bien apparus il y a environ 300 000 ans en Afrique, comment se sont-ils ensuite déplacés jusqu'à occuper aujourd'hui tous les continents. Et pourquoi ont-ils eu besoin ou envie de faire de si grands voyages au rythme de la marche ?  Grâce et les Petits Curieux de sciences – Antonia, Victor, Mathis, Renan et Elsa – ont rencontré Christine Verna, paléoanthropologue au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.  “Curieux de sciences” est une aventure sonore qui entraîne les enfants dans l'univers fascinant de la science.

The time has come! This is where our story truly begins.In Episode 4 of The Origins of Humankind, we finally turn the spotlight on Homo sapiens. Guiding us through this journey is Johannes Krause, director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and a pioneer of one of the greatest scientific revolutions of our time: the science of ancient DNA.This ability to extract DNA from fossils has transformed our understanding of the human past—giving us tools to tell a genuinely global history of our species. In this episode, we use the magic of ancient DNA to explore the world our species was born into: a weird, wild Ice Age planet teeming with other human species, from Flores Hobbits to Neanderthal Giants. We touch on big questions, such as:How did Homo sapiens spread around the world?Why were our ancestors so successful? How did climate changes shape their story?What was palaeolithic life like?What happened to the Neanderthals? (Be prepared for a plot twist!)We end at the dawn of the Holocene—the warm, wet period that would give rise to farming, cities, and everything we call “history.” That's the story we'll tackle in the final episode of The Origins of Humankind. Stay tuned.

Mucho antes de la llegada del Homo Sapiens o incluso de los Neandertales, otros humanos poblaron Europa durante intensas glaciaciones hace medio millón de años. Tres sitios excepcionales dan testimonio de su paso. La cueva de Tautavel, situada a los pies de la cordillera de los Pirineos y excavada durante más de 60 años, ha permitido descubrir un sinfín de fósiles de animales, herramientas bifaciales y 152 restos humanos (entre ellos un cráneo de hace 450.000 años) pertenecientes a una especie poco conocida: el Homo heidelbergensis. Más recientemente, Atapuerca, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en España, ha superado a Tautavel como el ser humano más antiguo de Europa. Por su parte, el yacimiento de Schöningen (Alemania), situado junto al lago, ha permitido conservar de forma excepcional materiales orgánicos, entre ellos objetos de madera, huesos de oso y huellas humanas.

Darry Anka, channel for Bashar, join the podcast to reveal the key things we need to know to avoid a path of destruction and move towards a golden age (New Earth). He talks about the upcoming open contact with extraterrestrial beings and the role of hybrid children in assisting humanity's evolution. In this interview, Darryl Anka discusses various topics related to extraterrestrial life, channeling Bashar, and the nature of reality.Darryl talks about Bashar's Formula amongst other major predictions that will shape the way humanity interacts with the cosmos in the future. Bashar is a physical E.T, a friend from the future who has spoken for the past 37 years through channel Darryl Anka. He has brought through a wave of new information that clearly explains in detail how the universe works, and how each person creates the reality they experience. ___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 - Intro to Bashar / Darryl Anka1:21 - Is Physical Reality Like an Escape Room?3:51 - Darryl Reflects on Channeling Bashar for 40 Years6:45 - Synchronistic Experiences and Receiving Guidance7:56 - How to Avoid Destruction and Enter a New Golden Age9:32 - Where Does Our Soul Frequency Reside?10:52 - Entering a New 40-Year Cycle: Preparing for Galactic Contact12:27 - Who Are the Hybrid Children Among Us?14:11 - Are Current Children Born More Attuned to Spiritual Frequencies?16:16 - Darryl's UFO Sightings and the Impact on His Life17:23 - The Influence of Sci-Fi Stories on Our Perception of Reality20:09 - Will the Upcoming U.S. Election Influence Open Contact?21:59 - Dreams of Contact with Blue-Skinned Beings23:17 - Homo Sapiens to Homo Galacticus: Humanity's Evolutionary Reset25:08 - The Splitting of Parallel Realities: Choosing Our Future26:52 - The Most Difficult Choice People Face Right Now29:04 - Darryl's Personal Journey: Trusting Passion Over Fear31:32 - The Realness of Bashar's Messages: Evidence Through Experience32:08 - Maintaining a Natural Earth and the Possibility of Living on Ships33:49 - How the Grays Lost Their Ability to Feel Emotions38:01 - The Importance of Excitement as a Spiritual Guidance System40:57 - Overcoming Fear and Embracing Curiosity42:55 - Channeling as a Natural Altered State44:30 - The Role of the Heart in Receiving Spiritual Messages46:20 - Physical Reality as a Temporary Projection of Consciousness47:57 - Learning from Dolphins, Whales, and Other Sentient Species50:07 - Gaps in Human History and the Truth of Our Origins52:03 - Why Children May Be the First to Make Contact with ETs53:17 - Exercises for Preparing Children for Open Contact54:38 - Understanding the Five Laws 56:24 - Letting Go of Struggle58:40 - Advanced Souls and the Mastery of Limitation1:00:04 - Wrapping Up with Darryl Anka's Message to Humanity1:00:51 - The Final Trio Questions___________________Guest: Darryl Anka, Channel for BasharWebsite | https://www.bashar.org/Channeling Events | https://www.bashar.org/event-calendarWho Is Bashar? | https://www.bashar.org/aboutBashar's Store | https://www.basharstore.com/?kuid=01f74b2d-f4f2-4202-b594-06ab73791615&kref=VWTouqMHFwXcYouTube |  @BasharChanneledbyDarrylAnka  Darryl's Personal Website | https://darrylanka.com/Darryl's Escape Rooms | https://darrylanka.com/boggled-escape-roomsHost: Emilio OrtizInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/Subscribe to YouTube Channel |  @EmilioOrtiz  Watch Emilio's latest series on 4biddenknowledge TV l https://bit.ly/AwakenThe6thSense___________________Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

Let us embrace the darkness.Not the political dark ages being pushed on us by today's regressive right-wing forces, but nature's own pure darkness of night. Unfortunately, we Homo Sapiens have largely blacked out nature's billions of beacons in the night sky, which have both dazzled and guided Earth's creatures for eons.Ironically, the tool used to wash out natural light… is light! In all cities and most towns, the glare of artificial lighting has pulled an impervious curtain across our sky. Especially garish (and entirely useless) is the lighting of corporate skyscrapers throughout the night with blinding spotlights that keep us from seeing the genuinely majestic view beyond.I was lucky as a child to spend summer evenings on my Aunt Eula's farm, entranced as darkness fell and the celestial show began. But today, most children don't even know it's there. Indeed, 80 percent of Americans never see the stream of the Milky Way galaxy that is our home – much less seeing the spectacular cosmic beams shining from trillions of miles beyond.This doesn't mean we should just stumble around in the dark. Of course we need light, but try a little common sense. One, stop spotlighting buildings. Two, don't point outdoor lighting up at the sky– shine it down on our streets, parking lots, stadiums, and porches where the illumination is actually needed. Three, remember that there's an off switch. And even small steps can make a big difference. After all, all we're giving up is bad lighting.This is Jim Hightower saying… We can have the light we need and still let nature's sky be the star. The good news is that towns, cities, and even countries have begun adopting such sensible lighting policies.

(image source: https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/ ) April Fools, puny humans! Host Emperor Splozzitrox, Supreme Ruler of the Planet Zurkabong, and co-host Karzagloth, the underest of underlings, discuss Homo sapiens, the recently exterminated ground vermin that once overpopulated this hunk of space rock named Earth, a backwater planet in the Goozapeg Sector. From the Late Pleistocene to the Late Holocene, this 5-6 foot tall hominid may not have lived the longest, had the sharpest claws or teeth, or run or swim the fastest, but damn if they didn't make an impact in their short tenure as Earth's dominant intelligence.

Ludzie współcześni przez tysiące lat żyli równolegle z innymi hominidami, np. znanymi chyba wszystkim neandertalczykami (ale nie tylko). Nie żyliśmy w jednych grupach, ale na pewno się spotykaliśmy, a przez jakiś czas również się z nimi krzyżowaliśmy. Potem przestaliśmy (to zresztą bardzo ciekawe dlaczego, o czym niżej), ale raczej nie oznaczało to wrogości, nie mamy żadnych znalezisk świadczących o obopólnej agresji. Dzięki dostępności badań genetycznych nasza wiedza o innych hominidach gwałtownie się poszerzyła w ciągu ostatnich 20 lat. O aktualnym stanie wiedzy i niesamowitych perspektywach rozmawiam z prof. Małgorzatą Kot z Wydziału Archeologii UW, która za parę miesięcy ponownie wyrusza do Azji Centralnej, w wysokie góry zachodniego Tienszanu i Pamiro-Ałtaju, by tam szukać śladów relacji ludzi współczesnych z innymi hominidami, tym razem w projekcie finansowanym z grantu ERC Consolidator Grant.Od dawna wiemy, że człowiek współczesny wyewoluował w Afryce i stamtąd wywędrował na inne kontynenty. Genetyka mówi nam więcej: wyjść było kilka. Pierwsze trzy populacje, które dotarły do Europy, po prostu wymarły. My jesteśmy potomkami tej czwartej. Nasi przodkowie poradzili sobie w lodowatej Europie, choć byli przystosowani do warunków afrykańskich. – Brak morfologicznego dostosowania nadrobiliśmy kulturowo – opowiada badaczka. Czyli nauczyliśmy się, jak się ubrać, jak polować i jak mieszkać, by przeżyć. Dość szybko straciliśmy ciemny pigment, częściowo w wyniku ewolucji, a w dużej mierze dzięki krzyżowaniu się z neandertalczykami.Tajemnicza sprawa jest taka, że wcale nie trwało to długo. – Wiemy, że my z neandertalczykiem krzyżowaliśmy się tak naprawdę bardzo krótko, to było jakieś 4-5 tysięcy lat – mówi prof. Kot. A przecież spotykaliśmy się o wiele, wiele dłużej. Hominidy wędrowały w grupach rodzinnych po 8-10 osób. W grupach liczyło się pochodzenie „po mieczu”, mężczyźni byli ze sobą genetycznie spokrewnieni, a córki odchodziły do innych grup. Nie wiemy, jak to dokładnie przebiegało, ale pojedynczej kobiecie na pewno trudno byłoby przeżyć samotnie, więc do wymian musiało dochodzić przy okazji spotkań grup. – Myślę, że każde spotkanie z grupą ludzką było wtedy wartościowe, czy to byli neandertalczycy, czy denisowianie – tłumaczy badaczka. To była szansa na wzbogacenie puli genetycznej. Co ciekawe, nie znaleziono ani jednych szczątków neandertalczyka z genami ludzi współczesnych. Przypuszcza się, że kobiety ludzi współczesnych nie były w stanie urodzić dziecka neandertalczyka – to były dzieci większe, z dużo większą głową. Są też dowody na krzyżowanie się neandertalczyków z denisowianami, a stan wiedzy zmienia się z każdym nowym znaleziskiem.W odcinku usłyszycie też, jak się przygotować do badań w górach Uzbekistanu, dlaczego prof. Kot wierzy, że znajdzie tam ślady denisowian (byli genetycznie dostosowani do życia w wysokich górach!) i dlaczego to inne populacje wyginęły, choć my też byliśmy na granicy wymarcia. Jestem totalnie zafascynowana tym tematem (i panią profesor!)  Polecam gorąco!

A founding member of the “PayPal Mafia,” he went on to create LinkedIn in 2003, firmly establishing himself as one of the OGs of the world's biggest tech companies.According to Reid, a startup can hardly succeed if its founding members work less than 80 hours per week, as Silicon Valley imposes a "fast and aggressive" pace upon the rest of the world.He was on a board member of some of the world's most important tech companies, including Airbnb, OpenAI, and Microsoft.Since AI's breakthrough to the public in 2022, he has already co-founded two companies in the sector (Inflexion AI and Manas AI). Reid has already co-founded two companies in the field—Inflexion AI and Manas AI. But his fascination with AI goes way back to 1990, when he studied AI and philosophy at Oxford to explore the nature of intelligence and language.His approach is fundamentally humanistic, and his goal is crystal clear:How can we leverage technology to become better people?A staunch tech optimist, Reid advocates—both politically and entrepreneurially—for humanity to embrace new technologies and harness their full potential.In this episode, Reid shares:Why 80-hour weeks are key to thriving in the startup worldTips for smart hiring and building a strong, healthy cultureHis take on AI regulation and how it might stifle innovationHow to use AI like a pro in everyday lifeA philosophical look at the relationship between humans and technologyThe entire GDIY team is thrilled to bring you this conversation with one of the most influential figures in global tech.

For hundreds of thousands of years Neanderthals have roamed the lands of what is today Europe and western Asia. But how did they survive, and what caused their decline?Tristan Hughes delves into the fate of the last Neanderthals and continues our Ice Age mini-series with Professor Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum. They explore how Neanderthals thrived across diverse climates and investigate the intriguing story of Neanderthals' eventual decline alongside the arrival of Homosapiens 60,000 years ago. Professor Stringer also shares the fascinating evidence of interbreeding that has left traces of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans and groundbreaking insights from recent archaeological and DNA research, that shed light on why Neanderthals went extinct.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

Coraz głośniej mówi się o terapeutycznym znaczeniu więzi człowieka z naturą, ale też o silnej wzajemnej zależności. Mimo to, w codziennej gonitwie często zapominamy, że jesteśmy częścią globalnego ekosystemu. Dopadają nas wątpliwości czy jednostkowe decyzje mają wpływ na środowisko, a działania polegające na segregowaniu śmieci, oszczędzaniu energii i świadomych konsumenckich wyborach, faktycznie mają sens. Tym bardziej, że narosło wokół tego tematu wiele szkodliwych mitów. Tymczasem natura sama upomina się o swoje prawa i, czasem w bardzo brutalny sposób, przypomina nam o nierozerwalnym związku człowieka z ekosystemem. Czym dokładnie jest ekopsychologia i dlaczego stała się tak ważna w procesie wdrażania ekologicznych rozwiązań? Na czym polega zrównoważony rozwój? Czy istotnie mamy wpływ na zmiany klimatu? Jakie są społeczne nastroje w kontekście aktywności ekologicznej? Dlaczego bywamy zniechęceni i zdezorientowani? Jakie mity stały się źródłem dezinformacji? O tym wszystkim podczas spotkania opowiedziały nasze ekspertki: psycholożka, trenerka podejścia uważności i współczucia dr Julia E. Wahl oraz psycholożka, socjolożka, psychoterapeutka systemowa Agnieszka Wołyńska. W ramach cyklu „Prawdy i mity o ekologii. Jak być eko, kiedy jest się zielonym?” przyglądamy się najczęściej powtarzanym mitom na temat ekologii. W świecie pełnym sprzecznych informacji i uproszczonych odpowiedzi pomagamy oddzielić fakty od mitów, dostarczając wiedzy popartej nauką i doświadczeniem ekspertów. Naszym celem jest wspieranie świadomych wyborów oraz pokazanie, jak być naprawdę eko, nawet gdy dopiero zaczynamy swoją przygodę ze zrównoważonym stylem życia. Strefa Psyche Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt popularyzujący wiedzę psychologiczną na najwyższym merytorycznym poziomie oraz odkrywający możliwości działania, jakie daje psychologia w różnych sferach życia zarówno prywatnego, jak i zawodowego. Projekt obejmuje działania online, których celem jest umożliwienie rozwoju każdemu, kto ma taką potrzebę lub ochotę, niezależnie od miejsca, w którym się znajduje.

Genevieve Willis from London, Ontario asks: Is there any evidence to suggest that “getting cold” by, say, dressing inadequately in cold weather, or sitting in a cold draft, actually increases our susceptibility to illness?For the frigid answer, we spoke with Michael Kennedy who is an associate professor of exercise physiology at the University of Alberta. Jim Raso from St. Albert Alberta wrote us: My question has to do with our sense of time passing. As I have gotten older – I am 73 now –  I noticed that time seemed to pass more quickly.  Why does this happen?For the answer, we asked Dr. Holly K. Andersen, a professor of philosophy at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia.Dan from Chateau-Richer in Quebec writes: Where does moon dust come from?We reached out to planetary geologist Gordon Osinski, a professor of Earth Sciences at Western University, who has studied samples sent back from the Apollo missions. Scott Beach from East York Ontario asks: Why do dogs sniff and lick each other's butts?To get the answer, we reached out to Simon Gadbois, the principal investigator at the Canine olfaction lab at Dalhousie University.Robert Smith from Victoria asks: Is there evidence to suggest red-heads are particularly sensitive to pain? To find out, we spoke with someone who has studied this in the past: Jeffrey Mogil, the E.P. Taylor Professor of Pain Studies at the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain at McGill University.Stephen Quinn from St. John's, Newfoundland asks: How can the universe be expanding at the same time as galaxies are colliding?For the smashing answer, we spoke with Sara Ellison, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Victoria. Susan Boyd from Ottawa asks: Since some of the elements in the periodic table do not occur naturally, is there a limit to the new elements that could be created? If so, what is the limiting factor? We went to the National Research Council Canada's element expert, Juris Meija, for this answer. Robert LaRoche in Halifax asks: Why is the color of wet clothes always more vivid than when they are dry?For the answer, we turned to Sarah Purdy, a Physicist at the University of Saskatchewan who uses light to investigate materials. Paul Vander Griendt of Newmarket, Ontario asks: If animals wake up at sunrise and go to sleep at sunset, how do they cope with the varying hours of sunlight? How do they do compared to humans who are supposed to get 8 to 9 hours of sleep regardless of the length of sunlight? For the answer we turned to Ming Fei Li a Phd candidate at the University of Toronto in Anthropology who is studying the sleep patterns of animals. Marie Beaudoin from Salt Spring Island, BC asks: How do birds where the males and females look the same tell each other apart when it comes to mating?” We went to Matt Reudinik, a professor of biology at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, for the answer. Warren Saylor of London, Ontario asks: Could Neanderthals speak? If they could not, would that contribute to the dominance of Homo Sapiens?We spoke to paleoanthropologist Dr. Bence Viola, an associate professor in the department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto.
