With the ancient DNA revolution, combined with rapid genome mapping of present human populations, has come remarkable insights into our past. This important new data has clarified and added to our knowledge from archaeology and anthropology, helped resolve long-existing controversies, challenged long-held views, and thrown up some remarkable surprises.The emerging picture is one of many waves of ancient human migrations, so that all populations existing today are mixes of ancient ones, as well as in many cases carrying a genetic component from Neanderthals, and, in some populations, Denisovans.

Who Needs Gay Bars?: Bar-Hopping through America's Endangered LGBTQ+ Places read now: https://na-jaemin-nctderem.blogspot.com/?min=1503629201 Gay bars have been closing by the hundreds. The story goes that increasing mainstream acceptance of LGBTQ+ people, plus dating apps like Grindr and Tinder, have rendered these spaces obsolete. Beyond that, rampant gentrification in big cities has pushed gay bars out of the neighborhoods they helped make hip. Who Needs Gay Bars? considers these narratives, accepting that the answer for some might be: maybe nobody. And yet Jarred by the closing of his favorite local watering hole in Cleveland, Ohio, Greggor Mattson embarks on a journey across the country to paint a much more complex picture of the cultural significance of these spaces, inside big four gay cities, but also beyond them. No longer the only places for their patrons to socialize openly, Mattson f

Howard Husock argues that we have lost sight of a more powerful strategy a preventive strategy, based on positive social norms.In the past, individuals and institutions of civil society actively promoted what may be called bourgeois norms, to nurture healthy habits so that social problems wouldn 8217 t emerge in the first place.

Who Controls America read now: https://na-jaemin-nctderem.blogspot.com/?min=B073WD7BHF Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owning no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. - Theodore RooseveltWhile Washington politicians focus their attention on a Biden presidency, a dangerous cancer goes unnoticed and unanswered. Unelected malignant individuals surreptitiously whittle away our bank accounts, our hopes, and our dreams for a better and safer tomorrow. These opponents have been assaulting America relentlessly for over four decades. To make matters worse, the attackers are Americans. Their victims are school children, the poor, and the middle class. They work out of sight in secret rooms and hallowed halls. When they speak, they use the language of Patriots. But make no mistake, their goal is the same as the Russians: world dominance at th

Whiteout: How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America read now: https://na-jaemin-nctderem.blogspot.com/?min=0520384059 The first critical analysis of how Whiteness drove the opioid crisis. In the past two decades, media images of the surprisingly white new face of the US opioid crisis abounded. But why was the crisis so white? Some argued that skyrocketing overdoses were deaths of despair signaling deeper socioeconomic anguish in white communities. Whiteout makes the counterintuitive case that the opioid crisis was the product of white racial privilege as well as despair. Anchored by interviews, data, and riveting firsthand narratives from three leading experts an addiction psychiatrist, a policy advocate, and a drug historian Whiteout reveals how a century of structural racism in drug policy, and in profit-oriented medical industries led to mass white overdose deaths. The aut
