https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/04/24/why-is-africa-so-poor-while-europe-and-north-america-are-so-wealthy/ Why is Africa so poor while Europe and North America are so wealthy? A few years ago, two economics professors, Quamrul Ashraf and Oded Galor, published a paper, The Out of Africa Hypothesis, Human Genetic Diversity, and Comparative Economic Development, that drew inferences about poverty and genetics based on a statistical pattern. The worlds most genetically diverse countries (using their measure of what counts as genetically diverse) are in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the worlds poorest region. The least genetically diverse countries are in places like Bolivia, which have low incomes but not as low as in that region of Africa. Theres an intermediate level of genetic diversity among the residents of the middle-income and rich countries in Asia, Europe and North America. Ashraf and Galor put this together and argued that this is reflecting the trade-off between the beneficial and the detrimental effects of diversity on productivity. Their argument was that a little bit of genetic diversity is a good thing because a wider spectrum of traits is more likely to be complementary to the development and successful implementation of advanced technological paradigms, but if a country is too genetically diverse, its economy will suffer from reduced cooperation and efficiency. Thus, they wrote, the high degree of diversity among African populations and the low degree of diversity among Native American populations have been a detrimental force in the development of those regions. Moi does not believe Ashraf and Galor got it correct. Moi believes the absence of Neanderthal & Denisovan genome in Sub Saharan Africa is the key they seek! The Bolivians have some but live in a nation with minimal resources. That's another key. Then there is culture. Latin America is not as productive as North America because of culture such as land ownership by a few large land holders. Ashraf and Galor do NOT have it correct.

Can a real comet have No Tail ? What makes this rock, a comet?

Most comets are made of ice and other frozen compounds and were formed in solar system's frigid far reaches. Researchers believe the newly found comet was formed in the same region as Earth, then booted to the solar systems backyard like a gravitational slingshot as planets jostled for position. Scientists involved in the discovery now seek to learn how many more Manx comets exist, which could help to resolve debate over exactly how and when the solar system settled into its current configuration.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2088095-first-americans-hunted-big-game-in-florida-14500-years-ago/ First Americans hunted big game in Florida 14,500 years ago (Findings) include 14,500-year-old stone tools alongside the remains of a butchered or scavenged mastodon, The discoveries show that the first people to settle in the Americas, who arrived on the Pacific coast at least 15,500 years ago, must have quickly spread east and south to occupy vast swathes of North America. It also shows that those earliest Americans lived alongside large mammals for at least two millennia before the megafauna went extinct. For years, archaeologists thought they understood the early settlement of the Americas. The Clovis people arrived there from Siberia about 13,000 years ago, so the story went, and spread across North America, leaving distinctive tools and the carcasses of large mammals in their wake. Soon after the Clovis turned up, many of those large mammal species died out. Today, we know the story is more complicated. The discovery of pre-Clovis sites shows that humans actually reached the Americas at least 2500 years earlier than the Clovis. But only a few of these sites are known. In coastal regions, at least, that rarity might be down to sea level rise associated with the end of the last ice age. Former sites of human occupation are now several metres underwater. These sites include Page-Ladson in north-west Florida. Not far from the Gulf of Mexico, it was first investigated in the 1980s and 1990s, when researchers found eight stone artifacts and what appeared to be a butchered mastodon carcass. The megafauna were hunted before the days of Clovis peoples. Salutreans hunted megafauna, with a "Clovis Point" - pre Clovis. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21729102-100-migration-mystery-who-were-the-first-americans/ Click The Image, please I do hope some DNA is harvested from human bones to confirm their origin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutrean_hypothesis PS Clovis at best, is an idea, not a people.

It's geography and politics, not DNA. How many deserts and rainforests does Europe have? North America has deserts, but America is one nation. If each state was it's own nation, we'd find a dispersal of wealthy states and poor states, resource wise. Southern Africa is more temperate, but also more isolated from the rest of the world. Africa is also much larger than Europe. Then add technology. It was never the case that indigenous peoples, across the world, were poor warriors, it's always been that European nations had a technological advantage. Climate too, plays into it. Many parts of Africa are dependent upon season rains and ideal climate conditions to be suitable for consistent agriculture. Europe and North America don't really have that problem. I cannot prove that DNA is not a part of it, but I think it makes sense to look at more obvious external factors rather than going down the genetics route. Geography and politics have proven themselves to be critical factors to societal development across the world, across history.

In fact, over the past 60 years their numbers have been on the rise, according to a new study. Scientists gathered data from cephalopod fisheries around the world, examining how catch rates the number of cephalopods captured or sampled at one time changed for 35 species between 1953 and 2013. The researchers found steady increases in diverse cephalopod populations living in a variety of ocean depths and environments, suggesting that changing ocean conditions may actually be beneficial to cephalopods worldwide.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fossils-may-settle-debate-over-hobbit-peoples-ancestry-171609971.html?nhp=1 New fossils may settle debate over 'Hobbit' people's ancestry The new fossils "strongly suggest" the Hobbit evolved from large-bodied, large-brained members of the extinct human species Homo erectus living in Asia, said palaeoanthropologist Yousuke Kaifu of the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo. Homo erectus, which first appeared in Africa roughly 1.9 million years ago, is known from numerous fossils 1.5 million to 150,000 years old from Java, an Indonesian island west of Flores, and the new Flores fossils bear similarities to those, said paleontologist Gerrit van den Bergh of Australia's University of Wollongong. the 700,000-year-old fossils rule out claims by some scientists that the Hobbit was a member of our species with a medical condition causing small size. Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Characteristics of the fossils also do not support the idea the Hobbit evolved from even more ancient members of the human family tree like Homo habilis or Australopithecus, the researchers said. No one considers Homo erectus over dissed as a dead end, more than Moi. They were PeopleKind and some of their genome is in "us". Proof to follow, give it time.

What he's saying is what I've been saying for a long time. When science tries to tackle religious beliefs they often substitute their own religious belief and call it a theory. They have no clue how life started so they throw a few theories out there and strut around as though they discovered the answer. All of these scientific theories are really just religious beliefs that require as much faith as anything in religion. Abiogenesis being one example - spontaneous generation : a theory in the evolution of early life on earth: organic molecules and subsequent simple life forms first originated from inorganic substances. You see the stars were lined up just so and poof - life. That's right up there with Noah and Jonah.
Apparently it is. Some people's beliefs in science are so fragile that any opposing ideas must be squelched.
I'd like to talk about the Sumerians sailing to South America. I have no doubt they did. We have stories of Ancient Chinese and Japanese sailors coming across the Pacific way long before Columbus did. And New Zealanders sailing to Hawaii. In each case I think they were given maps, 'cause no one sails without knowing how much food and fresh water to bring with them, and that requires knowing the distance(in days) to the destination.
