The Astonishing Lucy Fossil Was Discovered 50 Years Ago. Heres How It
Rewrote the Story of Human Origins - Scientific American
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=94884&nl=daily]
Every once in a great while paleontological fieldwork turns up a
fossil so extraordinary that it revolutionizes our understanding of
the origin and evolution of an entire branch of the tree of life.
Fifty years ago one of us (Johanson) made just such a discovery on an
expedition to the Afar region of Ethiopia. On November 24, 1974,
Johanson was out prospecting for fossils of human ancestors with his
graduate student Tom Gray, eyes trained on the ground, when he spotted
a piece of elbow with humanlike anatomy. Glancing upslope, he saw
additional fragments of bone glinting in the noonday sun. In the
weeks, months and years that followed, as the expedition team worked
to recover and analyze all the ancient bones eroding out of that
hillside, it became clear that Johanson had found a remarkable partial
skeleton of a human ancestor who had lived some 3.2 million years ago.
She was assigned to a new species, Australopithecus afarensis, and
given the reference number A.L.288-1, which stands for Afar locality
288, the spot where she, the first hominin fossil, was found. But to
most people, she is known simply by her nickname, Lucy. With the
discovery of Lucy, scientists were forced to reconsider key details of
the human story, from when and where humanity got its start to how the
various extinct members of the human family were related to one
anotherand to us. Her combination of apelike and humanlike traits
suggested her species occupied a key place in the family tree:
ancestral to all later human species, including members of our genus,
Homo.

The Most Extreme Cabinet Ever - The New Yorker

Joe Biden, once again, seems to be cursed with awful timing. On
Wednesday morning, in an awkward photo op meant to underscore his
adherence to old-fashioned constitutional principles, like the
peaceful transfer of power, the forty-sixth President welcomed Donald
Trump to the Oval Office. Congratulations, Biden said, to a man he has
called an aspiring dictator. Resurrecting a tradition that Trump
rejected four years ago in favor of an all-out effort to overturn his
defeat, Biden pledged a smooth transition and offered to do everything
we can to make sure youre accommodated. The reassuring optics of the
two men shaking hands in front of a crackling fire seemed designed to
convey the message that Americans need not worry about all that
election-season rhetoric: If Trump were really a fascist-in-waiting,
as his own former White House chief of staff has warned, Biden wouldnt
have gone through with a meet and greet, would he?

A New Corporate Playbook for Navigating Political Uncertainty in Latin

Companies operating in Latin America and the Caribbean are facing a
dynamic and increasingly complex political landscape. They can no
longer rely on alliances with national government leaders in power or
costly arbitration when things go awry. Instead, they need better
strategies to manage risk. These include proactive social media
listening to identify and head off or more quickly respond to looming
challenges; a community-centric approach, including investments in
projects that provide long-term benefits to ensure local support;
partnerships with longstanding local businesses that intimately
understand their market dynamics; and more robust contingency planning
to ensure business continuity amid political unrest.
