We have found the oldest genetic evidence of incest in Europe. And it’s a case of father and daughter

by

When we talk about endogamy in the historical worldthe truth is that it is easy to think about the royal dynasties or in island populations that were on the verge of extinction. But the truth is that this type of practice dates back 4,000 years, since it was only now that a team of researchers has found the first irrefutable biological proof of a sexual union. between a father and his own daughter in European prehistory. The study. Although it may seem crazy, the fact that a father and his own daughter were united beyond the family bond, the reality is very different. The research published in Communications Biology has reached this conclusion after analyzing some remains from a Bronze Age community in Calabria. The discovered. The finding focuses on the Grotta della Monacaan archaeological site in southern Italy used for both mining and burials during the Bronze Age (between 1780 and 1380 BC). There, archaeologists recovered remains of several individuals, but two of them powerfully called the attention of geneticists when analyzing your DNA. Specifically, an adult male with the code GMO022 and a pre-adolescent child with the code GMO007. The genetic material. It undoubtedly keeps a large number of secrets, and the fact that it is maintained over time to know all its details. By sequencing the genomes of these two subjects, the researchers They saw the kinship they had with great clarityand the subject with the number 22 was not only the father of the child. The analysis revealed that the child’s mother was also the daughter of subject 22. That is, child GMO007 was the result of a first-degree union between father and daughter. According to the researchers, led by paleogeneticists from the University of Bologna and the Max Planck Institute, this is the oldest evidence of this type of incest ever sequenced in Europe. Behind the discovery. How can researchers be so sure of this? The key is in a genetic measure called ROH or “homozygosity sections“To understand it, you have to know that when two parents are closely related, their offspring will inherit identical genetic blocks from both sides, and not different ones, as is normal in relationships with two genetically different people. The closer the relationship, the longer these blocks are. In the case of boy GMO007, researchers found unusually long stretches of identical DNA, occupying a massive portion of his genome. This through the computer modeling managed to rule out that it was a union between brothersand confirmed that the markers fit a father-daughter relationship. Habit? Without a doubt, it is the idea that can come to mind when seeing something that today can be a real aberration. In this way, looking for the reasons, it was seen that this community did not have a state of isolation that justified them having to procreate among their own relatives, since the population was about 5,000 individuals. In this way, there were many options available to not have to choose to have a father-daughter relationship. This leads the study authors to an important conclusion: this was not an accepted cultural practice. Unlike later Egyptian dynasties or the Incas, where royal incest was sacred, in this Bronze Age community the case of GMO007 appears to be a unique event. It wasn’t normal. In this way, it seems that this was a chance event or a violation of a taboo, which for some reason occurred in this family. The reasons are not known, but at that time it was not something accepted by social norms, despite talking about a community that was 3,700 years old. Its importance. Until now, evidence of first-degree incest (parent-child or full siblings) was almost non-existent in the European genetic registry outside of very specific cases. We had data on unions between siblings in Neanderthals or distant cases in the Irish Neolithic (Newgrange), but nothing so explicit between direct generations in this period. In this way, this study reminds us that the DNA of the oldest people even helps us see their most intimate details.

In 1962, a Mexican child found a radioactive pill and took her home. All the father died but

by

27 years before Chernobyl disasterMexico City lived in its meats the effects of ionizing radiation. With a clear parallelism with the death of Marie Curie About 30 years before, a Mexican family disappeared after being exposed for days to a radioactive capsule that they found out there. And the worst thing is that he never clarified as something so dangerous ended in that house. The case. In March 1962, a family composed of five members (father, pregnant mother, paternal grandmother, a daughter and a son) moved to a new house in Mexico City. It is estimated that, playing in a garden, the child found a ‘capsule’ and took it. With about ten years, I was unable to know what it was, but the capsule is not that it had an easily recognizable badge. The cell. They did not know that this small cobalt-60 capsule of just a few centimeters had an activity of 200 gigabequerelios (GBQ). To put it in context, it is a radiation between hundreds and thousands of millions smaller than the one in Chernobilbut enough to wreak havoc without proper protection. And, of course, the manipulation was far from being correct. Like Marie Curie 30 years before with her radioactive tubes, the little one took the capsule for a few days Cobalt-60 In the pants pocket, absorbing more than directly the ionizing radiation. The mother took her and kept her in a kitchen drawer. Now We still have problems with radiation in Chernobyl And they are built great sarcophagi to contain itso a wooden drawer had little to do. The piece Tragic outcome. A few days later, the mother began to notice that glass vessels began to change color. It is a phenomenon called radiation solarization which occurs when transparent materials such as glass are subjected to high energy radiation (such as X -rays or gamma). Depending on the color of the glass and its composition, the new hue varies, but the effects are patent. It also began to cause mysterious symptoms in different family members, such as tiredness at the beginning and vomiting. He outcome It was expected. At the beginning of April, a few days after the finding of the radioactive pill, the child died. It was the one that received the biggest doses, which caused great damage to the bone marrow, infections and necrosis in the areas of maximum exposure. The mother, who was the one who spent the longest in the kitchen, died in July due to hemorrhages in hematopoietic tissues. The two -year -old younger sister died in August after developing respiratory infection, anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The grandmother was the last one: in October of that year and for causes similar to those of the girl. The father received a high dose, but as time was spent at home for work, he survived. A plane of the house, about 25 m². The location of the pill in the kitchen is marked with the “radiation” symbol Explanations? In just eight months, that little radioactive battery ended five family members and here the most interesting question is how something like that, especially when there was already knowledge of the danger of the radioactive material, ended without protection in the garden of a house. The most serious thing is that 60 years have passed and there is no official version. The capsule, after being obsolete, was removed from a hospital where it was used in radiology equipment and was not transported with the necessary protection measures. There begin the versions that point that he arrived at a landfill next to other waste, but without signaling about the danger it represented and, in some way, ended in that garden. A Report Medical of the 1964 pointed out that the piece was in a lead container that was granted to the family for their care, but without informing its content or danger. The only clear thing is that he left the hospital without proper surveillance and the head of that cobalt capsule was not found. Was not the only one. That mystery has given rise to conspiracy theories such as ensuring that it was a premeditated event that ended in that family, but they are still that: theories. And, although it would have been a perfect story for some film with supernatural component (mysterious deaths, change of color in objects), nothing was done with it. Nor are there great documentaries, contrary to what happened with another radiation case with a cobalt capsule-60: that of Ciudad Juárez in 1984. The protagonist was another radiotherapy unit with Cobalt-60, but on this occasion, an improperly dismantled. Destined to the garbage dump, when the operators pierced the unit with cobalt-60, the particles were shot, contaminating thousands of tons of metal destined to create construction pieces and metal bases for tables. During the next months, hundreds of houses were built that had to be demolished, and tons of contaminated metals that had been distributed throughout Mexico and the southern United States were also recovered. It is estimated that some 4,000 people were exposed, without catastrophic consequences, but leaving a valuable lesson about the risk of recycling obsolete medical machinery.

The iPhone camera had me to my noses. Until Google Pixel’s father arrived to fix it

by

I’ve been loading with me for some time Canon R7 Every time I’m on a trip. The reason is easy: I am very tired of the photos of the iPhone 16 Pro. It is not an exclusive problem of this phone, After analyzing all high -end cameras I have been reaching the same conclusion for years: it is of no use to improve the hardware if the defendant is still bad. And why do I consider it bad? Because with sensors that touch the inch and processors more powerful than those of a computer, mobile phones should be closer to a SRFLEX than of the same photos they made five years ago. Almost 10 years ago, there was a company that wanted to change everything with the “computational photography.” That company was Google, who launched in 2016 Google Pixel. In his day, it was a milestone: a mobile that took advantage of artificial intelligence (although at that time there was not so much emphasis on that word) to take much above those of his rivals. At the head of the photography team for the Google Pixel was Marc Levoy, currently an adobe worker. After a few years in silence he has done what no manufacturer has wanted to do: squeeze to the limit the power of a mobile to teach us what he can really do. Why is it important. Adobe has announced very discreetly Indigo Projectan app that applies as we had never seen the principles of computational photography to the iPhone. Until now, no such radical attempt had been made: this application consumes many resources and shows results that, until now, did not seem possible in the automatic mode of a phone. Is the best sample of The stagnant that manufacturers carry (including Google) in mobile photography. And although we spend more than 1,000 euros in a telephone, The camera is always well below what I could really do. Levoy himself makes it clear in his publication: “People often complain about the” appearance of the smartphone “: too bright, low contrast, high color saturation, strong softened and strong sharpness. This prosecuted comes, in part, for the most mainstream user preferences. But when someone spends a grassland on a phone (and in Europe we are doing it more than ever), this begins to be a problem. What is project indigo. This is a free app developed by Adobe Labs and led, among others, by Marc Levoy. The most nerd can enjoy manual controls, but the average user will not have to worry about anything: it is a “normal and current” with which you open, aim and shoot. The key is that, when he takes the photo, he is doing something completely different from what Apple does. This is what Indigo can do with a RAW from the iPhone. At all rag. A few years ago, when Apple talked about Smart HDR, the company showed combinations of up to 9 images to get a photo in HDR. The current number is not known, but Apple’s HDR has not improved substantially in recent years. Levoy does make clear how his app works: 32 PHOTOS IN RAW to create only one, neither more nor less. Combining 32 frames to create a single photo is a very high figure. Thanks to this, less noise is achieved in shadow areas, less reflections, and less overexposure (white parts, very burned), using more low-exposite frames. Thanks to having so many information, the textures are maintained better, the reduction of software noise is less necessary, and the softened is minimized. MAPOO DE TONESO NUGUAL | What can be achieved with a correct tones mapping. Going beyond. Another of the big problems of current photography has to do with HDR, and how shadow areas are crushed (or, vice versa, everything is burned) in scenes that require a high dynamic range. To avoid the classic (and unpleasant) forced HDR effect, this app has its own tone mapping (a fundamental process to obtain information on luminosity and color when dealing with HDR content). In other less complex words: this app processes as adobe wants, And not as Apple wants. The zoom. Indigo’s last key has to do with the zoom, one of the historical weak points of the iPhone. This application, without us noticing, takes multiple photos constantly while it is open (do not fear for your storage, until you shoot the final photo and processed, nothing is saved). This allows, when we take a photo with zoom, they can be combined to obtain a final in more detail. When to use this app. Everything looks great with Indigo, until you wonder how it is possible that a mobile can take 32 photos and process them without flinching. It is not so easy. This application puts the iPhone to work to the fullest, which can cause it to hot, especially in summer. Despite this, if you have time to take a good photo (it takes a few seconds to process) and want to escape that mobile look, this camera is practically perfect. His own developers consider it as an experimental camera app, and in their first phase of development it will be completely free. It is compatible with all iPhone from 12, and it is planned to end up landing on Android soon. Despite being experimental app, it has a great future ahead. Its developers claim that they want to load it with personalized looks, computational video functions, and improvements they show in the potential of well -applied computational photography.

James Rodríguez’s father is happy with his role in León

by

Wilson James Rodríguez, father of Colombian footballer James Rodríguez, is very excited to be able to see him inside the Club León of the MX League after his recent signing that allows him to maintain his active career in one of the most iconic Aztec football teams and with the aim of conquering the title of the Clausura 2025 tournament. During an interview offered for Mediatiempo, James’s father spoke of how valuable it is for him to see how James followed his steps within international football to become one of his country’s most iconic figures in recent years. “I congratulated him because it is a city (León) that has a lot of competitive football and the truth that makes me happy, I’m glad because he has continuity. James Rodríguez, a humble, simple person, a worker like all professionals, but very good. He is an excellent person, ”he said. “I think that in football that is born with one. When you see the children crawling, when they see starting, they begin to grow and start, that is born with one, but I did not think it was going to be such a big boy, so at the level. They are things in life, ”he added. Rodríguez Mr. coffee hobby. “The mentality. That positive mentality you have when you play with the selectionwhen he plays in the teams, that I believe that he does things professionally very well. He is a very structured person, very disciplined, ”he said. “Well, it’s a pride, a very big pride, because times are going to spend again to have one like James. James Rodríguez, my son. I also played football, but he set a difference. I think it’s impossible to match, ”he said. Finally, Wilson said he spoke with James after his debut with the León Club in the Clausura 2025 Tournament of the MX League to be able to congratulate him for the work he did; He was also concerned about the role he usually has with the Colombian team and the responsibility of taking them to the 2026 World Cup. “Very well, I congratulated him. Those are players that make a difference. The team entered and changed. He made a difference. Yes sir. It is the great hope of Colombia for the qualifiers, for the World Cup. It has always been, it has always been, and he is a good leader, a positive leader, ”he said. “It should not be easy to always load with responsibility, right? I say, he likes to play, brand difference, but he always knows that he is the obligor, because he sees the fansunderstanding that it is a collective sport, but that the fans see it.

Judge hears lawsuit over Trump’s order to cancel birthright citizenship

by

A federal judge in Seattle will hear first arguments Thursday in a lawsuit filed by several states seeking to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of parents’ immigration status. Federal Judge John Coughenour scheduled the session to consider the request from Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington. The case is one of five lawsuits brought by 22 states and several immigrant advocacy groups across the country. The lawsuits include personal testimony from prosecutors who are U.S. citizens by birthright, and names of pregnant women who fear their children will not become U.S. citizens. The order signed by Trump on the day of his inauguration is scheduled to go into effect on February 19. It could affect thousands of people born in the country, according to one of the lawsuits. In 2022, there were approximately 255,000 births of citizen children to mothers living in the country illegally and approximately 153,000 births to both parents in such a situation, according to the lawsuit filed by the four states in Seattle. The United States is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship, the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil,” applies. Most are in the American Continent, including Canada and Mexico. The lawsuits argue that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to people born and naturalized in the country and states have interpreted the amendment that way for a century. Ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, the amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside.” Trump’s order affirms that children of non-Americans are not subject to US jurisdiction and directs federal agencies not to recognize citizenship for children who do not have at least one parent who is a citizen. A key case on the issue unfolded in 1898. The Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the country. After a trip abroad, he faced denial of reentry by the federal government on the grounds that he was not a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some advocates of immigration restrictions have argued that that case clearly applied to children born to parents who were both legal immigrants. They say it is less clear whether it applies to children born to parents who do not have a residence permit. Trump’s executive order prompted attorneys general to share their personal connections to birthright citizenship. For example, Connecticut state Attorney General William Tong, a birthright U.S. citizen and the nation’s first elected Chinese American attorney general, said the lawsuit was personal to him. “There is no legitimate legal debate on this issue. But the fact that Trump is completely wrong will not stop him from causing serious harm right now to American families like mine,” Tong said this week. One of the lawsuits includes the case of a pregnant woman, identified as “Carmen,” who is not a citizen, but has lived in the United States for more than 15 years and has a pending visa application that could give her permanent residency status. “Depriving children of the ‘priceless treasure’ of citizenship is a serious injury,” the lawsuit says. “It denies them the full membership in American society to which they are entitled.”

Emma Coronel sent a message to her father, who is imprisoned like “El Chapo” Guzmán

by

Emma Coronel Aispuro She is the third wife of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. A few days ago he has reawakened interest, as he published a congratulations for his father on his social networks, Inés Coronel Barreraswho is in jail. Emma has not only congratulated her father on social media; Years before, she also congratulated her husband on Father’s Day, publishing a photograph in which he appears along with their twin daughters, their daughters. On this occasion he wrote: “Happy birthday dad, love you”along with kiss face emojis, a heart and hands in a prayer position, accompanied by a cake decorated with two horseshoes, boots and a cowboy hat. The cake also had a cactus, alluding to the Sierra de Durango, where it originates. Emma wrote on her networks, “Happy birthday dad, love you.”Credit: Instagram/@emma.coronel.official | Courtesy Inés Coronel, in addition to being Emma’s father, participated in the drug trafficking business within the Sinaloa Carteloperating mainly in the states of Durango and Sonora. He coordinated marijuana and poppy crops and controlled cross-border trafficking routes, mainly through the state of Arizona. He was known as “El Uno” and “El Suegro”, precisely because he was Chapo Guzmán, who did not always trust him, according to journalist Anabel Hernández; However, they had a close relationship. Among the private conversations they had, Emma was an intermediary between her father and her husband to coordinate drug trafficking operationsas recorded in several recordings released during the Chapo trial. “My father is here, he is going to work,” and “I have a flight packed at the ranch,” said Coronel Barrera while “El Chapo” recommended not using radios to avoid being tracked by the authorities. Emma pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering in the US, where She was imprisoned for more than two years for being an operator of the Sinaloa Cartel. Prosecutors in the case assured that Emma managed part of her husband’s finances.
