The very first modern humans evolved in Africa around 350,000 years ago. They were preceded by a number of other Homo species—including Homo Erectus and Neanderthals, both of which had left Africa hundreds of thousands of years earlier. There are known to have been many waves of migration out of Africa over our history, starting from around 270,000 years ago. However, the most significant and sustained move into Asia, Europe and the rest of the world is thought to have started between 80,000 and 60,000 years ago....

The alleged incident occurred at the 2022 Venice International Film Festival as co-stars Styles and Pine sat down next to each other for the Don’t Worry Darling world premiere. Pine’s representatives have since strongly denied the incident in a statement. Amid speculation of a mass cast fallout and ongoing tension, Pine seemed to react after Styles subtly spat on him. The moment was caught from multiple angles and watched millions of times online, but everyone seems to want to see an unseen video filmed by a nearby spectator....

Lindell, a staunch Trump loyalist and conspiracy theorist, has spent the better part of the past year spreading misinformation about the 2020 election. While traveling around the country for various rallies and events, Lindell—like Trump—has insisted that the last presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” in favor of Biden. For several months, Lindell has claimed that he will file a complaint with the Supreme Court to overturn the election results....

Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, told Newsweek on Friday that the retail giant was hoping to silence his false claims that the election was stolen from Trump, which he described as “the biggest crime in the history of the world.” He maintained that “somebody got to” the company, which then hatched a plot to “get rid of” him by dropping his pillows....

Earlier this year, second lady Karen Pence began teaching art part-time at the Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Virginia, a school that prohibits gay students and parents. Faculty members are also required to adhere to a “statement of faith,” which rejects same-sex marriage and trans identity. Faculty must commit to maintaining “a lifestyle based on biblical standards of moral conduct.” LGBT advocates and organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have repeatedly rebuked the second lady’s decision to join an institution that implements hateful policies....

While the Browns maintain it was necessary to demote Manziel to third-string quarterback Wednesday for violating the team’s trust, coach Mike Pettine claims the possibility of releasing the signal caller was not up for discussion. MORE: Manziel antics: 11 incidents, one rocky career | Manziel’s problems go beyond video “I told him this isn’t a dead end,” Pettine said, via ESPN. “It’s a hurdle, an obstacle.” “When you have a great opportunity in front of you, it’s important that you demonstrate you can handle the responsibility that goes with it....

Nashville, in the wake of Mike Fisher’s Achilles tendon injury, needed another center with a top-six skillset. Enter Ribeiro for, essentially, as little money and term as he could expect. The 34-year-old had 47 points (16G, 31A) in his only season with the Phoenix Coyotes. He was bought of his four-year, $22 million contract the day of the draft for disciplinary reasons. That counts for something, but for whatever it’s worth, Predators GM David Poile thinks the risk outweighs the reward....

Given that the opposition for that game is the Cleveland Browns, who have won once in their past 31 games, that left open the possibility Tomlin might send out the varsity 11 from Pine-Richland High to protect his regulars from the possibility of injury.

Uniform patches are a military tradition, symbolic down to the last detail. Paglen found many of the book’s examples at the homes of vets he knew. With the help of journalists, historians and hundreds of Freedom of Information Act requests, he rounded up 75. “I wanted to create a window into that black world,” Paglen says. The Pentagon isn’t letting any more light in. Department of Defense spokesman Bob Mehal told NEWSWEEK that it “would not be prudent to comment on what patches did or did not represent classified units....

One of those families was that of Cheri Burness, who said that she began experiencing stomach cramps, her 12-year-old became nauseated and the family dog started refusing to drink the tap water altogether. “It was just getting worse every day,” said Burness, whose husband serves in the Navy. The Navy said on November 22 that a mixture of water and fuel had managed to enter a fire suppression system drain line in a tunnel at the Red Hill Fuel Storage Facility located a couple of miles from Pearl Harbor, the AP reported....

Currently the equity markets of the world could use some Prozac.?Gloom and doom are everywhere. The broad group of sentiment indicators we monitor register a very high degree of investor pessimism. Hedge funds in the United States and Europe are as defensive as they have been at major market bottoms, and the media are full of sour commentary. The unwinding of structured finance centered in the U.S. subprime-mortgage market is causing an intensifying global credit crunch that threatens not only U....

It’s easy to see why people interested in fibromyalgia—whether they have it, treat it, research it, or know someone with it—turn to complementary and alternative approaches: this condition is tough to treat. The best medications only help about a third of the people who try them, and the side effect risk is high. Meanwhile, we battle dozens of unpredictable symptoms that can derail our lives in a moment, or leave us house-bound much of the time....

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said that the department was in a deficit of nearly 300 officers, about a third of its total 888 authorized officers. He described Minneapolis as “flatlining,” with the steep officer shortage largely caused by retirements, resignations, and disability leaves for post-traumatic stress disorder after George Floyd’s death and mass protests against racial injustice in 2020. He encouraged the city to vote against the new public safety unit that will be included on a ballot next week, citing concerns that the plans for the police department’s would-be replacement were too vague....
