Analysis

We thought that growing up defined the genus ‘Homo’ from its beginnings. Massive analysis proves we were wrong

by

For decades, paleoanthropology has tried to decipher at what exact moment in our family tree we took the big “growth spurt” in our height to go from being relatively small people to the heights we see today in our environment. The classical anatomical belief held that the appearance of our genus was accompanied by a drastic and immediate increase in body size, but little by little We are learning more exact details. A new study recently published point out that the evolution of our body mass was not a sudden jump that defined all the first humans equally at the same moment, but rather a much more complex and gradual process than we thought. What we believed. Traditionally, several evolutionary models suggested that the origin of the genus Homo marked an abrupt anatomical boundary. It was assumed that the first humans quickly developed bodies much larger than those of the australopithecines, thus justifying new locomotor and energetic adaptations for the new ‘functions’ that we would acquire on a daily basis. To test these competing hypotheses, the research team has not simply compared fossil estimates in isolation, but has used advanced statistical tools on a data set composed of 386 specimens spanning 21 different taxa. This methodological rigor allows us not only to compare raw sizes, but also to take into account phylogenetic non-independence, size variation within the same species and the margins of uncertainty inherent to the fossil record itself. When did we take the growth spurt? The results of the analysis are statistically conclusive and rewrite the previous consensus, since, contrary to the classic hypotheses, the researchers found very weak support for the idea that the increase in size was a defining and transversal characteristic of the entire genus. Homo. Instead, the data show strong evidence that the marked increase in body mass occurred exclusively in species of Homo later, explicitly excluding the Homo habilis. That is, the first representatives of our genus continued to maintain a relatively modest size and the true biological leap that led us to scale our body proportions occurred later in the evolutionary lineage. It wasn’t that simple. As New Scientist points out, understanding body size is essential to understanding our past. However, for scientific rigor, the article of PNAS It stands as the essential primary source compared to more generalist readings, since, while there are voices that tend to look for immediate “cause and effect” narratives, the strict biological data of this study demonstrate that human evolution rarely works with changes that occur overnight all at once. That is why this work eliminates the “noise” of previous speculation by integrating multiple variables into a single analytical framework, and the result is that it was selective pressures and millions of years that modeled the physiology and size of the modern human being.

We have been believing for decades that the Great Pyramid was built at one time. The latest analysis places it more than 20,000 years earlier

by

(Fortunately) the world is full of monuments as ancient as they are impressive, but few, very few, are comparable to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Almost 140 meters high, thousands of years old and an immortal testimony to the power of Ancient Egypt. It has such magnetism that every year they visit it millions of people arrivals from all over the world. But… What if we have been wrong about its origins for decades? What if instead of becoming 2,500 BCas we have always believed, rose up ago more than 20,000 years? What if Pharaoh Cheops was not its true promoter, but simply renewed it? All those questions have been left by launching a new (and controversial) study. What has happened? That Egyptology has just been shaken by unusual news in modern archaeology: a study that has turned upside down the dating (and origins) of the Great Pyramid of Gizaone of the most iconic monuments not only in Egypt or Africa but on the entire planet. Until now, experts agreed that the monument was built in the time of Khufu, around 2589-2566 BCbecoming one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the tallest structure in the world for 3,800 years. For Alberto Doninian Italian engineer from the University of Bologna, that estimate falls short. Very short. In fact, he has published a study in which he traces the origins of the pyramid back to more than 20,000 years. What dates do you handle? After analyzing several points of the pyramid, Donini has come to the conclusion that the reference date to talk about its origins should be another: 22941 BC That is, their calculations indicate that the structure is around 24,900 years old. Before continuing, it is important to clarify one detail: its analysis does not seek to set specific dates, but rather to establish a time frame for the construction of the monument. What does that mean? That, in reality, what Donini has done is calculate that there are 68.2% probability that the period of construction of the pyramid is framed in a window that extends between 38,903 and 10,979 years ago. The calculation of 24,941 years would therefore be a simple arithmetic mean that serves as a reference. If instead of talking about antiquity we talk about calendars, this means that, according to the estimates of the Italian engineer, the most famous structure in Giza was probably built between 36878 and 8954 BC What is it based on? Donini’s work is not controversial only because of its conclusions. It is also because of its methodology, the calculation system it has used. Its main tool is Relative Erosion Method (REM), a formula that dispenses with documentary sources to be based fundamentally on what the rocks say. Literally. What the REM does is analyze the erosion of the pyramid blocks to, based on their level of wear, date them. Said like this, it sounds simple, but what the engineer has done is somewhat more complex: he selected 12 different points spread across the base of the Great Pyramid and then compared their different levels of erosion, looking at aspects such as the holes and cavities opened in the rock by rain or the roots of plants and the natural wear and tear caused by wind, sand and the constant passage of people. And has that been of any use? Yes. The analysis has yielded a disparate range of dates. At one of those twelve points, the REM suggested an estimated age of 5,708 years. In others the estimate was 17,955, 30,375 or even more than 50,000 years. It may sound strange considering that we are talking about a single monument and it is logical to think that all its blocks have been there for the same amount of time, but many factors influence erosion: from the position of each stone, which determines its exposure to wind and rain, to its mineral composition. It’s still a strange thing, isn’t it? Yes. And no. It is true that the engineer obtained very different dates, but this is explained by another peculiarity of the Great Pyramid. The monument did not always have the appearance we see today. In it 1303 AD The area suffered an earthquake that affected the white limestone blocks that originally covered the structure. That material was later reused in buildings in Cairo. Although it may sound like an archaeological tragedy, it offers experts like Donini a real opportunity. The reason? They now have blocks that have been exposed to erosion almost since the construction of the Great Pyramid and others that have only been exposed to erosion for 675 years, when the earthquake left them bare. This contrast partly explains why when applying the REM method Donini obtained such a broad time frame, the same one that later led him to propose an antiquity of 24,941 years. Issue settled, then? No. The study has only served to stir up the debate. And it is more than understandable if we take into account several keys. First, the dating turns upside down everything we thought we knew about one of Egypt’s most famous monuments. Among other things, he questions whether Pharaoh Cheops was its main architect and slips that he could have limited himself to reforming it. Furthermore, Donini’s study has another handicap: it is preliminary and has not been peer-reviewed, which heats up the debate (even) more. He himself has admitted that REM calculations are influenced by factors that must be handled with caution, such as the variability of erosion processes or the wear and tear that mass tourism may have had on certain parts of the base of the pyramid, altering the calculations.

Honor Watch 6, analysis – Review with features, price and specifications

by

I think I have hit the ceiling when it comes to the battery of a smartwatch: I have not tested any with greater autonomy than the Honor Watch 6. This is already a merit, but it is not the only thing: I had not tried a watch from the brand for a while and it has just become one of my future favorites to wear on my wrist. I liked it a lot. And, despite what I missed, I won’t have a hard time recommending it. After 14 days testing the new Honor watch, this has been my experience The last thing you want is to worry about the battery. You are looking for a quality sports watch at a price that is not exaggerated. You want continuous health monitoring without draining your battery. You are looking for an operating system to install applications on. You want to pay with the watch: I couldn’t use payments. You need a smartwatch with eSIM. The essentials in 30 seconds It is a large watch, somewhat heavy and with a 100% sporty appearance. You have it in stainless steel (brown) and aluminum (black). In both the hardware is identical, as well as the touch and finishes: it exudes premium essence. Although that is not what stands out the most: The Honor Watch 6 lasts more than four weeks on a charge. With a sports record at a very good level, sensors that measure general health and that send the data to an easy-to-read application. I found it to be a smartwatch that is a couple of steps away from becoming a blind choice: it lacks mobile payments (Honor includes support for Fidesmat the moment it does not work) and be able to install applications. You stay with what comes from the factory. It is more than enough if you are an amateur athlete, but it cannot replace the telephone. It receives and makes calls, yes, but it cannot respond to messages, even with text templates. It also cannot work in standalone mode. It is very precise in the exercise, covers some sports in an expanded way (such as soccer) and even includes a voice coach (only in English). The Honor Watch 6 is a watch that you don’t worry about, in exchange for suffering shortcomings if you come from a complete operating system, such as Wear OS or WatchOS. 9.0 Design 9.5 Screen 9.0 Software 8.2 Battery 9.7 Interface 8.5 in favor Battery that never runs out. A high-level sports meter. Excellent construction. against Payments are not available. Little independence from the telephone. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Honor Watch 6 A smartwatch with a certain bracelet inclination. Honor equips the Watch 6 with its own system. It is functional and fast, it is enough and more than enough to measure the sport, send notifications and interact at a basic level with the mobile. You can call from your wrist, not reply to messages. It also does not allow you to install third-party applications or spheres. Of course, it comes with the best collection of “watchfaces” that I have seen on a watch of its type. All free, good here. It looks wonderful. The screen is large, as is the watch. I have had no problems seeing it even while playing sports under the June sun. The interface makes it easy to interact with all the apps and services, it has a flashlight and a collection of very well finished widgets. Quality is appreciated in all aspects of the watch: from the exterior design to the interface navigation. If you have used a smartwatch you will not miss out on the Honor Watch 6. Did someone say variety of sports? Up to 120 practical time clock. The GPS measures routes outside (it is fast and sufficiently accurate), the races have a somewhat heavy trainer that can be deactivated (too bad it only has English), there are unusual exercises (there is paddle tennis, but not the mountain bike) and Honor specializes in practices such as soccer. The clock knows how to return in case you get lost in the mountains. It’s not a medical watch, but it comes close. With its quotes, since it is not certified as a health device. Even so, it measures the usual variables and is capable of doing a body analysis to know the general physical condition. Heart rate measurement is acceptable, although it presents some difficulty in recording rhythm changes at high heart rates. It measures the lactate threshold and can even provide an age estimate based on the recorded exercise. He told me that I am eight years younger, for that reason alone the review has already been worth it. The jewel in the crown: autonomy. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to charging my watch and forgetting about it until the next month. In fact, I haven’t even charged it twice during my analysis: once was enough (approximately an hour and a half of charging). It should last just over four weeks with average use, daily sports recording and even outdoor training with GPS (according to the records I obtained during my test). I haven’t spent even 1% per hour on the race. With screen on, trainer and all sensors running. The closest I’ve ever come to giving a watch a ten.

the fatty liver epidemic that escapes routine analysis and that science seeks to stop

by

For decades we have relied on annual tests to know if our liver was healthy, since there are several values ​​that tell us if there is any damage that we are not ‘feeling’. The problem is that science advances, and the last major liver study has put on the table that the liver can become ill without symptoms for years, and the main culprit is not alcohol consumption or hepatitis viruses, but a major metabolic disorder. A silent epidemic. Right now, fatty liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction, known as MASLDhas become one of the main threats to public health globally. And it is no wonder, since its danger lies in its invisibility, since the initial phase and progression towards liver fibrosis can be completely asymptomatic. Although it may seem silly, fibrosis must be taken seriously. In this case, fibrosis occurs when the liver suffers injuries that it cannot repair properly and, instead of generating new tissue, it ends up with different scars that alter its functioning. But it is not that the liver functions at a lower percentage than normal, but rather that this fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis or liver cancer associated with high mortality. The data. Science suggests that we are not facing an isolated problem that should be ignored, since a macro study published this year in Lacent With a total of 7,764 studied, it indicates that the prevalence of this disease is 38.9%. Something that, adjusted to the world population, leaves us with a fibrosis rate of 2.4% globally. In the context of Spain and Europe, the figures are no less alarming. During the recent congress of the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver (AEEH) in 2026, was alerted that the prevalence of significant fibrosis in our country is around 3.6%. The most worrying thing is that these are people who live their normal lives, without pain or apparent symptoms, while the liver suffers from these scars. A lethal cocktail. Although you may think that alcohol is the only enemy of the liver, the reality is that the lifestyle we have influences it much more than we thought. In this case, type 2 obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia are the main risk factors for this disease. The problem is that alcohol consumption in people who have obesity or diabetes causes the damage not only to add up, but multiplymaking the progression towards fibrosis, cirrhosis or even liver cancer more rapid. Medical checkups. Traditionally, liver health has been assessed by transaminase levels in a simple blood test. But the scientific literature suggests that normal blood tests should not make us breathe easy, since the vast majority of cases of fibrosis are not seen in a routine analysis. This means that a patient with severe fibrosis has perfect transaminases in some cases. What can be done. With all this data, changes must be made in the strategy and some voices point to the need to implement population screening programs directly in primary care centers. To this end, it is proposed to monitor those patients with more risk factors using two very simple tools: The index IBF-4: a simple mathematical formula that uses the patient’s age and three basic parameters from a blood test to identify the risk of fibrosis. Perform an elastography: Ultrasound techniques are here to stay because of how easy they are to do and also because they are accessible, since you can have an ultrasound machine almost in your pocket. All this means that the strategy of an ultrasound per consultation can be a very appropriate strategy. What is clear is that you cannot sit around waiting for the liver to hurt or fail, which is why, given this increase in cases, early diagnostic tools must be implemented to be able to better control a disease that can have devastating consequences.

Anker Prime Docking Station 14 in 1, analysis features price specifications

by

My work desk is, I admit, a battlefield of cables. I have two 27-inch Dell monitors at 1440p, a Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021 with Windows 11, a MacBook Air M4 what I use when I travel and a Mac Mini M4 which is my work team. Additionally, I use a Razer Huntsman keyboard (which by some quirk of fate occupies two USB ports) and a webcam. When NASA needs a cable, they look for it under my table. From time to time, my desk also receives a visit from a camera whose SD card I need to empty quite frequently, and none of my computers have a built-in card reader. More cables and connections. To make matters worse, because of a mess of connectors (only one of the monitors can connect to a Thunderbolt port) when I want to connect the MacBook Air M4 or the Huawei laptop to the monitors I can only take advantage of one of the two. Luckily, since the Mac Mini does have an HDMI port, it is the only one where I can use both screens. In short, a mess of cables, connections and adapters to connect any of my three devices. I had been looking for a solution for this mess of connections for a while and Anker Prime Docking Station 14 in 1 came to my table promising to solve exactly that problem. Connectors for all tastes If I’m honest, the first thing that my old mind thought when I had it in my hand was its resemblance to one of those alarm clock radios from the 90s. However, the first thing you notice when you take it out of the box is the weight: almost 900 grams. That already leaves us some clues that we are not dealing with one of those adapters that people (especially Macbook users) carry in their backpack. This is a serious desk piece, with metal construction and a very premium feel that not only fulfills an aesthetic function, it also helps dissipate some of the heat. The little control wheel on the side of the device is striking. It looks like the crown of a watch and, in a way, takes the idea of ​​controlling some smartwatches to move around the hub interface and access options by pressing it. And then there is the front screen that, although it does not occupy the entire front as one would expect, offers very useful information about the charging power it is supplying, information about the resolution, the type of monitor connector or, simply, the time. I must say, that It’s more useful than it seems at first and I no longer look at the time on the computer bar, but I have surprised myself on more than one occasion looking at the time on the Docking Station. The disposition of the 14 connection ports It is very well thought out. On the back are two HDMIs with 4K support at 60 Hz and a DisplayPort with 8k support at 60 Hz. So, in practice, it allows up to three screens to be connected to the setup. Anker Prime Docking Station (DL7400), 14 DisplayLink Triple Display Ports, 140W max., Smart Display and Fan, up to 8K, for macOS and Windows, Requires updated DisplayLink Driver The price could vary. We earn commission from these links It also has a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, two USB A for data with a transfer rate of 5 Gbps and a third USB A for connecting the keyboard or mouse. In my case, I have used the three ports to connect the Razer keyboard (which uses the two ports) and the webcam. The USB C output port is also located here, which is the one you connect to the computer and offers a charging capacity of up to 140W, so you can take advantage of the fast charging options on gaming laptops or 96W Macbook Pros. Such charging power generates heat in the internal components of the device, so, in addition to the aluminum coating on the exterior, has an internal fan which cannot be heard in the slightest even in a quiet environment. On the front it includes an SD card reader, a microSD slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. I have used the latter less because I use Bluetooth headphones and all computers have this very accessible connection. But I find it equally useful because it is very accessible, and to use it you just have to change the audio source to Anker in the computer options. That design logic is exactly what I needed. Have all the connection cables to the monitors, network cable, keyboard and webcam behind, and on the front, have quick access to the charging ports for your mobile phone or upload photos from the camera without having to look for cables or accessories. Connect everything with a single cable However, what undoubtedly seems like a triumph to me is that all the devices are ready to use just by connecting a cable. However, before reaching the magical moment of connection, you have to do your homework: install the DisplayLink driver on each computer that we are going to use with the base. It is not a direct plug and play connection. The software is essential for the monitors to receive the video signal. On Windows the process is quick and frictionless: install the driver software and go. In MacOS, in addition to installing the software, you have to grant screen recording permissions, something that may be striking the first time the notice appears, but it has a technical explanation and we will get to it. Thanks to this software, the brightness and contrast adjustment of the monitors can be controlled from the system taskbar (similar to how Apple monitors appear), without having to navigate through menus or access the monitors’ adjustment buttons. It is a minor detail but it adds up on a day-to-day basis. Once the entire software part was installed, I connected … Read more

OPPO Watch X2 Mini, analysis

by

Wear OS left behind the obligation to charge watches every day with the enormous step forward that the OnePlus Watch 2. I was able to analyze it and was surprised by its duality: dual processor and dual operating system. OnePlus has promoted this innovation, so has OPPO. The Watch X2 Mini that I have tested is a worthy heir. Very compact, loaded with features despite being contained, with five days of autonomy and good performance in the sports record. At least for a smartwatch that is not specifically geared toward workouts. With these credentials, I have to say that the OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like a great recommendation to me. I explain step by step why. OPPO Watch X2 Mini technical sheet OPPO Watch X2 Mini SCREEN 1.32 inch round AMOLED panel 466 x 466 pixel resolution 352 PPI Brightness from 600 to 1000 nits 2.5D Crystal DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 43.2 x 43.2 x 11mm 37.8 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ BES2800BP RAM 2GB STORAGE 32GB BATTERY 354mAh 6.5W magnetic charging Autonomy from 2.5 to 7 days OPERATING SYSTEM Android 14 with ColorOS Watch 7.0 RTOS Compatible with Android 10 and iOS 14 CONNECTIVITY eSIM 5G and 2.4G WiFi NFC Bluetooth 5.2 OTHERS Resistance 5 ATM and IP68 Optical heart rate and blood oxygen sensor Compass Barometer Stainless steel case PRICE 299 euros OPPO Watch The price could vary. We earn commission from these links OPPO Watch X2 Mini, our experience Design: classic and with exaggerated frames. The watch is quite small for a large wrist like mine. Even so, it does not give a reduced experience, quite the contrary: OPPO has made an effort to maximize the X2 Mini in all aspects. From its excellent stainless steel case to the hardware that beats under the 1.32-inch round screen. The watch is mini, the front shows it. Even so, the frames are thick: around 5 mm. It includes two control buttons that are enough to control anything that is beyond touch. And the back side maintains the heart sensors and a POGO connector for charging. The alignment with the charger is magnetic and said charger has a USB-C port. This way the cable, which also comes in the box, is not damaged. The OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like the perfect watch for those looking for a complete smartwatch without feeling like they are lifting weights every time they raise their arm. He’s small, but he’s tough. And with a detail: the strap pin is the standard 18 mm. Finding compatible straps is as simple as it is cheap. Blood oxygen saturation measurement The screen shines with its own light. OPPO mounts an OLED panel that is perfectly visible outdoors, even training in sunlight. The brightness is automatic and adapts without problems to the light conditions. It is compatible with Always On, with what that entails: battery life is reduced in that mode. The screen has smoothed edges so that the edges do not interfere with gestures. It is tactile and is protected with hardened glass: I did not scratch it during the weeks of testing (miracle). The watch includes a good number of watch faces, supports video watchfaces, and is compatible with the thousands of Wear OS on Google Play. It’s impossible to get bored. Two is much more than double. When I tested the OnePlus Watch 2 I marveled at the idea of ​​including a dual processor and dual operating system. After the evolution, the OPPO Watch For me it is the way to go in Wear OS. Smartwatch and activity bracelet chip; with software that maintains this duality: Wear OS when the watch uses apps and RTOS for the rest of the tasks. The result is an experience out of ten: the X2 Watch Mini 2 switches between the SoC and soft tandem without the user noticing anything. I have not seen it slow, the jump between sports activities is fast, the registrations are accurate, it has access to Google Play and there are no problems with NFC payments. OPPO has the recipe for the best smartwatch and knows how to cook it perfectly in the Watch X2 Mini. What do smartwatch manufacturers have against mountain biking? A good watch for amateur athletes. Although I play sports every day (or try to), I do not consider myself an athlete. Yes, I like to keep track of all the training sessions to see the evolution. I use a Garmin Epix 2 and it’s fantastic for me. Well: the OPPO Watch X2 Mini is not far behind. I have tested the watch running, walking, high intensity routines, strength training and mountain bike rides. The results have been good for a general purpose smartwatch: It supports more than 100 sports training modes. Too bad the mountain bike is not available (neither is the padel, sorry). Heart rate tracking is sufficiently accurate at low and medium heart rate. Above 150-160 I have seen a margin of error of up to 40 keystrokes. Everything compared to a chest strap connected to the Garmin. Above, OPPO Watch X2 Mini; Below, chest strap connected to Garmin. The OPPO does not register variations or very high heart rates as well. Same exercise: 6.08 km run Related to the previous point, the Watch X2 Mini follows pulse variations as long as they are not triggered by high-intensity interval exercise. In outdoor distance measurements, the positioning system remains at a very good level: the margin of error of the routes is around 50 meters per kilometer. Very quick positioning before the start of practice: less than ten seconds is usually enough. The track record has some saw teeth and may not follow the paths on the map 100% accurately. In terms of total distances, the overall result is decent. Left, Garmin GPS; right, Vivo GPS.

Xiaomi Sart Band 10 – Analysis: Review with characteristics, price and specifications

by

Xiaomi has cast an activity bracelet in much of the wrists, not in vain is the leading manufacturer In this type of accessories. And the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 It is the culmination of all that experience: with a design as functional as recognizable, this last model makes a leap forward in outdoor visibility. Using it outdoors is a taste, I attest. I have had a good amount of Xiaomi Bands, I still have the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 between my catalog of Smart Watches. You put next to the other, it is not that last year’s model is very different from the current one, the new Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is somewhat bigger due to its screen, which is slightly larger. For the rest, I have had a similar experience, this is one of the keys to the device. Xiaomi barely evolves it, although it is not missing either. This is how Xiaomi money earns – they attract you and catch you Technical sheet of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Xiaomi Smart Band 10 SCREEN 1.72 inches AMOLED panel Resolution of 212 x 520 pixels 1,500 nits peak shine 2.5D reinforced glass Dimensions and weight Standard: 46.57 x 22.54 x 10.95 mm Ceramic: 47.74 x 23.94 x 10.95 mm Standard: 15.95 g Ceramics: 23.05 g Battery and autonomy 233 mAh capacity Load time of 60 minutes approx.

Put on the wrist is indistinguishable from the rest of Xiaomi Bands, there are no changes in view. A pill anchored to two rubber bands that has an AMOLED screen with oval edges. The panel is somewhat larger: of the 1.62 inches that the Smart Band 9 had at 1.72 inches. The larger panel size does not provide palpable differences in daily use, it does not make the bracelet or sleep with it more annoying. Yes I appreciated differences in another of the only changes: the screen brightness. The previous model was already well outdoors, the smart band 10 rounds this point. Not even the direct sun from the end of June prevented reading the details of the screen. The model I have tried is a delight in finishing and touch: the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 in ceramics implies paying ten euros more, a price difference that does not provide advantages in hardware or software. And without being very different from its predecessors, it is a detail to consider before thinking about buying it. The screen is a delight for a bracelet. Xiaomi has mounted an excellent panel on its Smart Band 10, its quality can be seen in all situations. The response to touch is expected, ignition gestures function as they should and vision angles are at the height of the best smartwatch. The larger size does not penalize in use and does not facilitate the display of the content. Even so, it is appreciated the evolution, because all the functions of the Smart Band benefit from the sharpness, brightness and contrast that the panel brings. Especially during outdoor practices. The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 screen has a very effective automatic brightness, it adapts quickly and correctly to lighting situations.
