The dawn of dairy farming in Europe occurred thousands of years before most people evolved the ability to drink milk as adults without becoming ill. Now researchers think they know why: lactose tolerance was beneficial enough to influence evolution only during occasional episodes of famine and disease, explaining why it took thousands of years for the trait to become widespread1. The theory — backed up by an analysis of thousands of pottery shards and hundreds of ancient human genomes as well as sophisticated modelling — explains how the ability to digest milk became so common in modern Europeans, despite being…
If you’re one of Hailey Bieber’s 44 million Instagram followers, you know that she delivers endless outfit inspiration. And when she goes on vacation, her swimwear collection sparks serious interest. Last year, she went to Hawaii, and her Frankies Bikinis style was such a hit with her fans it sold out.The terry-cloth swimsuit, however, is so popular the brand of course had to launch it in multiple prints this year. And it now comes in not one, not two, but 26 different colours and patterns. It’s a best seller, and one reviewer even named the bikini top her holy grail. “I am…
The infamous 2018 Camp Fire, which destroyed the town of Paradise, bathed the UC Davis campus in smoke, giving Pinkerton and his colleagues a unique opportunity to determine the effects on another species: the rhesus macaque. At the campus’ California National Primate Research Center, the macaques live in outdoor enclosures. So just as Skibiel did with dairy cows, Pinkerton could monitor them as the haze rolled in. He found an increase in miscarriage during the breeding season, which happened to overlap with the smoke event: 82 percent of the animals exposed to smoke gave birth, when in a normal year the…
Joe Pera was a guest on the most recent episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, where he chatted about his upcoming tour, rehearsed a scripted scene with Seth Meyers, and imitated screaming “like an anime guy.” Pera also joked that his next career move is starring as James Bond in place of Daniel Craig and showed teaser clips from the film. “They decided why not a celibate, American James Bond?” he said. “The new angle they’re taking is that James Bond lives in Philadelphia, he eats pre-wrapped Boar’s Head sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, he’s learning to play the…
With She-Hulk on the way shortly on Disney+, fans are speculating about which other heroes and villains will make appearances. That being said, a few of them are completely off the table. In some cases, rights issues get in the way. In others, we really don’t know exactly why they’re off limits. The best hint we’ve gotten is because it could potentially complicate where those specific characters are going in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.We do know that a few characters have confirmed cameos, such as Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Charlie Cox’s Daredevil. Other smaller characters like Wong and Abomination will show up from time…
Feedback is our weekly column of bizarre stories, implausible advertising claims, confusing instructions and more 18 May 2022 Josie Ford Relight my fire An apology is in order, as we return, reluctantly, to the subject of testicle tanning, as advocated by US TV host Tucker Carlson. Feedback’s recent coverage of this improbable health advice has occasioned, ahem, quite the bulging mail sack. Who knew that New Scientist readers would get so exercised by the topic of scrotal sunbathing? Reader John Keeves writes to ask if we were mistaken to ascribe the purported benefits to infrared radiation, rather than the ultraviolet…

Vegetables are good for us, but are there any in particular that are good for diabetics? Diabetes is a complex condition, split into types: type 1 diabetes and type two diabetes. Both are related to the hormone insulin, which is made in the pancreas and is responsible for helping our bodies to use glucose (sugar) for energy and regulating blood sugar levels.We will look at which vegetables are good for diabetics, which vegetables should be restricted and ways that you can easily incorporate more vegetables into your diet. We’ve also spoken to two medical experts who have given us their…
It’s been a tough few years for the Great British high street, with every month seeing different challenges, from lockdowns to lay-offs. Yet behind the media coverage, Marks and Spencer (surely one of the longest-standing members of the affordable-fashion community) is continuing to do what it does best: deliver timeless, well-executed staples for the shopping public.When it comes to fashion, spring is always a tricky time of year as temperatures become somewhat inconsistent, but it’s safe to say that the air is getting warmer by the day. Anything we invest in now has to be versatile and adaptable for whatever the seasonal weather throws at us, and M&S has the solution. Its online…

An increasingly paranoid Ezra Miller has taken to wearing bulletproof body armor and carrying at least one gun almost everywhere they go, according to a new report from Insider that traces a timeline of Miller’s activities and finds a disturbing pattern: They establish a home base, financially support artists and young women, and then attempt to control and manipulate their sexual partners, causing one of their alleged victims to compare the practice to a cult. Miller allegedly believes that they are being followed by the FBI and Ku Klux Klan, the former because multiple parents and young people have accused the…

We’ve kept her at home during the pandemic, but now that she’s vaccinated, she’ll be attending preschool twice a week. She is more than ready, and talks about it every day. What I’m not so excited about are August’s temperatures. The humidity is at 90%, the temperatures are in the 90s or 100s, and I’m arriving home from my daily walks drenched in sweat — yay for summer. I’d say this is…

Life as a single seaweed along a rocky coastline can be tough. Though there are plenty of potential partners out there, stalks of these large algae are stuck in place, and possible mates often keep their reproductive structure hidden. For the red seaweed Gracilaria gracilis, which grows in scraggly clumps, this is a particular problem. Its male gametes, or spermatia, lack flexible flagella to propel them through the water. “Without the ability to swim, the sperm needs to navigate its way to the female plants in some other way,” says Myriam Valero, an ecologist at the French National Center for…
When Kate Middleton wears jeans, they’re usually skinny. When she wears dresses, they’re midi, and when she wears trousers, they’re usually wide-leg. Such was the case today when she and Prince William visited volunteers at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London. Middleton showed her support for Ukraine by wearing a blue-and-yellow pin on a blue sweater. She also wore block-heel pumps and a pair of wide-leg trousers that can best be described as puddle pants. Puddle pants (and jeans) are basically loose and so long that they pool around the ankles. So in this case, save yourself a trip to the tailor and keep the ultra-long length intact—just don’t…
“I waste way too much time on my phone and am attracted by the idea of simplifying my digital life. So I found several apps and tutorials designed to make my smartphone ‘dumb,’ but I’ve hesitated to take the plunge. Am I just trying to escape modern life?” —DumbstruckDear Dumbstruck,As more and more of the formerly mute objects in our lives (refrigerators, thermostats, doorbells, even toilets) are christened “smart,” it often feels as though the entire inanimate world were undergoing a process of enlightenment. And “smart” is a difficult adjective to resist, particularly in a society that regards intelligence as a…
Last night, the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored Machine Gun Kelly (who has ties to the city) with “MGK Day,” which included a display with several of the rapper-turned-rocker’s personal items. Well, it seems as if the designation is now official, as Cleveland’s Mayor Justin Bibb named Aug. 13 “Machine Gun Kelly Day” while handing Kelly a celebratory plaque outside of 27 Club Coffee (which Kelly owns).As reported by Cleveland’s WKYC, Mayor Bibb handed Kelly the framed document mere hours before Kelly was set to perform at FirstEnergy Stadium for his highly anticipated hometown concert (as part…
Out of all the projects Marvel discussed at San Diego Comic-Con this year, the one we’re most excited for is Spider-Man: Freshman Year, a new animated series set in Peter Parker’s earliest days as the Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler. One of the more interesting aspects of the show is the fact that Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Daredevil in the series.But what Daredevil will we see? Is this the same guy we saw in the MCU’s Daredevil TV show and Spider-Man: No Way Home? And how does he fit into what we know about the show’s premise (which takes place in a variant reality…

I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, and nothing gets me more nostalgic than stumbling on social media posts about things like Lisa Frank, Trapper Keepers, the Delia’s or Alloy catalogs, or Scholastic Book Fairs. Speaking of books, there are so many books from the ’90s that I think of often, and some have even floated around in my head for way longer than they should have, before I was able to finally remember the title of the…
The final season of Stranger Things is in the works, and the last season will aim to avoid one considerable criticism that has plagued prior seasons. The series has been known to introduce a wealth of new characters each season, and in many cases, it takes away from the characters we started the journey with. Thankfully, Ross and Matt Duffer are being vocal about the focus being on the original characters. In a new interview with Indiewire, they confirmed as much. “We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5,” Matt said. “We’re trying not to do…
Highly energetic and difficult to detect, neutrinos travel billions of light years before reaching our planet. Although it is known that these elementary particles come from the depths of our Universe, their precise origin is still unknown. An international research team, led by the University of Würzburg and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), is shedding light on one aspect of this mystery: neutrinos are thought to be born in blazars, galactic nuclei fed by supermassive black holes. These results are published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters. The Earth’s atmosphere is continuously bombarded by cosmic rays. These consist of electrically…
Zoey Deutch is bringing designer style to the Milky Way. On July 27, the actor stepped out in New York City for a screening of her upcoming Hulu movie, “Not Okay,” wearing a vintage Moschino dress that featured none other than our galaxy. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the ankle-length dress featured a cowl neck and a slit up the back of the dress for optimal walking purposes. Behind the various shades of blue are images of stars, moons, planets, comets, and all the things that make up our solar system. If you look close enough, you might even be able…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new report has identified the 10 financial actors with the most influence on the fossil fuel economy and outlines the decisive role they can play in helping de-carbonize our future. The study found that the top 10 most influential actors, including investment advisors, governments, and sovereign wealth funds from around the world, own 49.5 percent of potential emissions from the world’s largest energy firms. “This shows us that both investors and governments can be at the forefront of change if citizens and clients urge them to de-carbonize,” said Truzaar Dordi, lead researcher from the University…
