"... "Sure, let's list them off," he began. "Half a billion dollars to expand atheism in Nepal, $50,000 to do a transgender opera in Colombia, $47,000 to do an LGBTQ trans comic book in Peru, $20,000 a pop to do drag shows in Ecuador." "Shall I continue with more examples?" Mast asked. ..."

First Live Birth Using Procedure That Matures Eggs Outside Body

How long will will we still need women uteruses and conventional pregnancy anymore to reproduce? My guess, it will happen in the next 20-40 years.

The next question would be how long will there be two human sexes or sexual reproduction? My guess, the distinction of two human sexes will be rather insignificant by the end of this century.

Notice, this was apparently introduced in Peru not in any Western country!

"Gameto, a biotechnology company dedicated to advancing treatment option in women’s health, announced today the world’s first live human birth using Fertilo, an ovarian support cell (OSC) technology that matures eggs outside the body. The delivery was conducted at Santa Isabel Clinic, in Lima, Peru.

With nearly half of the women in the US never reaching their maternity goals, there is an urgent need for innovation. Unlike traditional methods, which rely on 10-14 days of high-dose hormonal stimulation to mature eggs, Fertilo uses engineered, young ovarian support cells to recreate the natural egg maturation process in a laboratory setting. This process replaces 80% of hormone injections required with traditional IVF, and reduces the duration of treatment cycles to just three days, offering patients a more comfortable and less invasive experience."

AI-accelerated Nazca survey of Peru nearly doubles the number of known figurative geoglyphs and sheds light on their purpose

Amazing stuff!

Several of the usual science news outlets already covered this latest research, but I kind of ignored until know.

"Significance

This paper demonstrates how AI accelerates discoveries in archaeology, even in a region as well known as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site of Nazca. Our vastly improved account of relief-type figurative geoglyphs reveals that they differ from line-type figurative geoglyphs beyond their style and size. The line type and relief type also differ in the motifs they depict, their distribution, and their relation to the meshwork of winding trails and the ceremonial network of linear/trapezoidal geoglyphs. Taken together, this makes a compelling case for different nature and purposes of relief-type and line-type figurative geoglyphs: the former sharing information about human activities with individuals or small groups and the latter built and used by the community for ceremonial purposes.

Abstract

It took nearly a century to discover a total of 430 figurative Nazca geoglyphs, which offer significant insights into the ancient cultures at the Nazca Pampa. Here, we report the deployment of an AI system to the entire Nazca region, a UNESCO World Heritage site, leading to the discovery of 303 new figurative geoglyphs within only 6 mo of field survey, nearly doubling the number of known figurative geoglyphs. Even with limited training examples, the developed AI approach is demonstrated to be effective in detecting the smaller relief-type geoglyphs, which unlike the giant line-type geoglyphs are very difficult to discern. The improved account of figurative geoglyphs enables us to analyze their motifs and distribution across the Nazca Pampa. We find that relief-type geoglyphs depict mainly human motifs or motifs of things modified by humans, such as domesticated animals and decapitated heads (81.6%). They are typically located within viewing distance (on average 43 m) of ancient trails that crisscross the Nazca Pampa and were most likely built and viewed at the individual or small-group level. On the other hand, the giant line-type figurative geoglyphs mainly depict wild animals (64%). They are found an average of 34 m from the elaborate linear/trapezoidal network of geoglyphs, which suggests that they were probably built and used on a community level for ritual activities."

How was popcorn discovered? An archaeologist on its likely appeal for people in the Americas maybe as early as 6,700 years ago

Amazing stuff! Let that sink in or pop up! 😊

"... There’s evidence of maize farming from dry caves in Mexico as early as 9,000 years ago. From there, maize farming spread throughout North and South America.

Popped corn, preserved food

Figuring out when people started making popcorn is harder. There are several types of maize, most of which will pop if heated, but one variety, actually called “popcorn,” makes the best popcorn. Scientists have discovered phytoliths from Peru, as well as burned kernels, of this type of “poppable” maize from as early as 6,700 years ago. ..."
