Sheep and the Rise of Human Societies For over 11,000 years, sheep have been central to human survival, providing food, milk, wool, and economic stability to societies from the Near East to the edges of Europe and beyond. But how did this partnership begin? A new study published in Science 1 offers the most detailed genetic reconstruction yet of the domestication and dispersal of sheep, revealing how their history is intertwined with human migration, trade, and technological innovation.

In Northeast India, a controversial hydropower dam moves toward completioncausing great uncertainty for downstream dwellers whose livelihoods depend on the river. At the peak of summer monsoon, I woke to rain pelting the tinned roof. The noise hurt my eardrums. Surely venturing onto the river in this weather would be disastrous. I was hoping that Bimal would not call.

In a quiet gas station in Boedo, Buenos Aires, Agus, one of my closest friends in Argentina and my folklore dance instructor, sat down and immediately said: You know, my Virgo, the homophobic attack against Pamela, Roxana, Andrea, and Sofia is no coincidence. It reflects the politics and views of the chainsaw men, the men we have as president. How can we heal from these acts without going mad?

Educators are teaching in perilous times. We face a white supremacist backlash funded by billionaires against the 2020 uprising for Black lives, when tens of millions built a multiracial movement against systemic racism. That resistance popularized antiracist ideas and won Black studies and ethnic studies programs nationwide, sparking fear among those in power that unity against oppression could threaten their control.

Trump signed an Executive Order threatening to cut off federal funding from schools that “indoctrinate” students on issues related to race and gender. The order is titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.” Let’s start by acknowledging that this order is in direct violation of a law that was passed in 1970 to prevent the federal government from imposing any curriculum on the nation’s schools.
