MISSOULA, Mont. — From the outside, the building that was once Cold Springs Elementary School in Missoula, Montana, looks abandoned. Beige paint peels from its cinder-block facade. A blue banner proclaiming “graduation matters” hangs tattered and bleached by the sun.

In a very groundbreaking, surprising study 1 , researchers have revealed that European Neanderthals consisted of at least two distinct populations, evolving in isolation for tens of thousands of years.

On Political Misogyny By Suzanne Dovi , University Of Arizona Many political scientists hold that vitriolic speech against high-profile women has only negligible effects on other women in politics. They also contend that the prevalence of such vitriol is consistent with gender bias having no significant negative impact on most women in politics. This article argues that these sanguine positions rest on inadequate and untested assumptions regarding misogyny, and the role it plays in politics.
