Earliest modern Asian human discovered in China

New link in the fossil record of modern humans spreading around the world from Africa

Remains of a 40,000-year-old early modern human found near Bejing is an important link in the fossil record of the spread of modern man from Africa but there is controversy around the suggestion of interbreding with local archaic humans. A possible way to convert all donated blood into group O is discovered and, therefore, to make it safe for everyone to receive. What does it take to make a great darts player? The effects of globalisation on the health of the Tsiman茅 people in Bolivia and how mothers with greater ethnobotanical knowledge have healthier children.
