Strange Maps
OCTOBER 3, 2024
The genomes of most modern humans contain up to 4% Neanderthal DNA. Scientists have now determined where much of that exchange likely happened: the Zagros Mountains in Iran. Around 28,000 years ago, give or take a millennium or two, the Neanderthals let out their last breath. The deathbed of our cousin species may have been Gibraltar. The natural fortress, pinned to southern Spain’s Mediterranean coast, was one of the final refuges of the Neanderthals.

ED Surge

Steve Holifield’s breathing was labored. A respected math teacher at a K-12 public charter school in Apple Valley, California, Holifield was in steep physical decline.

LUCIFER IN OUR SKIES ! But not always. And why not? Because that planet moves around! Venus is inferior to us, the second large object from the sun inside our orbit. It is very similar in size and shape to our Earth. But hotter. Very hot. Maybe that is why it was named for the mythical Roman goddess of love, Venus [or Aphrodite in Greece]. Passionate heat.
