Now, his team has evidence that the brains of the Tsimane and neighboring Moseten people may age slower than yours, mine, and the brains of pretty much everyone else in the industrialized world. “Something about the lifestyle is affecting brain aging,” Kaplan says. He thinks he knows what that something is—and that it can teach us how to better control the aging of anyone’s brain.Public health in remote societies could enlighten public health elsewhere. Back in the 1980s, Kaplan was working with the Mashiguenga, an Indigenous group who had only recently come into contact with industrialized society in Peru. As…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Second Sky: And Other Stories? Okay, first the story behind the title. The title came from my friend Melinda’s daughter, who looked at the sky and said to her mom “that’s the Second Sky.” Mel told me, and I was like “that’s a heck of an insight.” And I kept thinking, what if she’s right? What if there is a hidden sky that we all look past. And that’s when the idea came to create a collection of stories about different hidden aspects of reality. I grew up…

A flood in Somerset, UK, in January 2023Matt Cardy/Getty Images The amount of damage caused by floods each year in some parts of the UK will rise by 25 per cent even in the best-case climate scenario, according to a modelling study. Paul Bates and Oliver Wing at the University of Bristol, UK, and their colleagues built a climate model that simulates water flow over land surfaces and used it to estimate how much flooding the UK would experience until 2070 based on various global temperature rises.

The three-tiered strategy to outlaw corporal punishment is outlined in the paper which reviewed laws in Australia allowing the practice, international agreements on children’s rights, evidence of its adverse effects, and the outcome of legislative reforms in countries that have implemented bans.

If you believe Hugh Howey, the television adaptation of his postapocalyptic book trilogy Silo may never get released, despite the millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours Apple TV+ has thrown at the production. Sure, the dystopian drama—which stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Robbins, and Rashida Jones and was produced by Justified creator Graham Yost—has a release date of May 5, and the show has already premiered at Cannes and in London, but the author still isn’t ready to call it a done deal.“To be honest,” Howey says, “it’s still a gradual process. I think it’ll probably hit me on June 30, the day the finale…

Street Fighter 6 is already in a better position than Street Fighter V with its larger launch roster and suite of modes. They don’t automatically mean that Street Fighter 6 will be better, but they do at least show that it won’t be as sparse as its predecessor. Because of this, Street Fighter 6 is already looking like a fantastic sequel for a multitude of reasons, even if those modes aren’t created equally. Street Fighter 6’s World Tour, its single-player offering, is one of those modes throwing off the balance. Instead of being a linear roller coaster ride of fights…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write True Stories of an Urban Shaman? For me, writing has been a lifelong journey. I never set out to write a book originally. I was on a learning and awakening journey, and every time I learned something I never wanted to forget, I wrote it out, printed it and threw it into a folder. One day, the folder was around two-hundred pages long and I realized I had a book in my hands. From that day on, I would open a word document and write consecutively knowing it was…
What a disturbing end to the season! Law & Order Season 22 Episode 22 featured Sam Waterson’s real-life daughter as McCoy’s estranged daughter Rebecca, who took it personally when her father put ethical concerns over helping her with a case. The case itself brought up questions that don’t have answers, some of which may keep fans talking all summer long. This was also Sam Waterson’s 400th episode of Law & Order, which is no small feat. Congratulations to the veteran actor on reaching this milestone; the story he was given was certainly worthy of him! McCoy reminded me of…
On rainy nights on the verdantcoastal plains outside Rio de Janeiro, groups of tree frogs sometimes gather around the pearly white flowers of the milk fruit tree. But while most tree frogs are on the prowl for night-flying insects, one species is after the sugary nectar in the flowers. The tiny, orange Xenohyla truncata’s sweet tooth might make it the world’s first known pollinating amphibian. And the discovery adds to growing evidence that we need to broaden our understanding of which animals act as pollinators beyond the well-known birds and insects. During a visit to a spot near the Brazilian…
For the 2023 Met Gala, the men stepped things up with boundary-pushing silhouettes, from unconventional layers and statement-making robes to even a giant cat costume, proudly worn by Jared Leto.

As if the look wasn’t already a sartorial vision, he gave viewers a show when he turned around, revealing a cutout back. The 29-year-old sported matching platform leather derby shoes and pearl stud earrings, switching things up by…

While Spider-Man is Marvel’s most famous characters, his movie rights are still controlled by Sony, who have been producing Spidey movies every few years since 2002.

That changes this week, though, as Disney+ is getting many of Sony’s Spider-Man films for the first time. Here are the Wall-Crawler movies…

Who can assess and diagnose cardiac function best after reading an echocardiogram: artificial intelligence (AI) or a sonographer? According to Cedars-Sinai investigators and their research published today in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, AI proved superior in assessing and diagnosing cardiac function when compared with echocardiogram assessments made by sonographers.

You can’t know everything about a person just by looking at them. But according to the late Karl Lagerfeld, wearing a pair of sweatpants can tell you most everything you need. In reference to the designer’s infamous contempt for loungewear, Irina Shayk attended the Met Gala afterparty in a pair of gray drawstring sweatpants. She styled the dressed-down look with a simple white scoop-neck tank top, a layered Ana Khouri necklace, and crystallized Jimmy Choo x Timberland stiletto boots, holding a burgundy Alpha Industries MA-1 bomber jacket in her hand as she walked down the street. “Sweatpants are a sign…

By observing the night sky, medieval monks unwittingly recorded some of history’s largest volcanic eruptions. An international team of researchers, led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), drew on readings of 12th and 13th century European and Middle Eastern chronicles, along with ice core and tree ring data, to accurately date some of the biggest volcanic eruptions the world has ever seen. Their results, reported in the journal Nature, uncover new information about one of the most volcanically active periods in Earth’s history, which some think helped to trigger the Little Ice Age, a long interval of cooling that saw…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A trio of psychologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of York and Duke University has found that great apes may sometimes engage in reciprocal food exchange under the right circumstances. In their study, reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Avi Benozio, Bailey House and Michael Tomasello conducted treat-giving experiments with captive chimpanzees and bonobos. Prior research and anecdotal observations have shown that humans have a tendency to engage in reciprocal behavior—if a person lends a tool to a neighbor, that neighbor is more likely to share one in return.…
