🔴 **Multi-proxy bioarchaeological analysis of skeletal remains shows genetic discontinuity in a Medieval Sicilian community**
"_Isotopic analyses indicated individuals enjoyed a similar diet with little evidence for extensive mobility, however, the genetic analyses indicate that the Muslim and Christian individuals were not only separated by the location of their burials but also by their genetic heritage with no evidence of kinship between the two communities._"

🔴 🇨🇳 **The hidden costs of inflation: A critical analysis of industrial development and environmental consequences**
"_As the demand for energy continues to grow, particularly in developing countries, the use of fossil fuels is likely to increase, leading to further increases in CO2 emissions. China is the world’s largest emitter of CO2 emissions, accounting for over a quarter of global emissions. FP, IG, and GNE are identified as key drivers of the increase in CO2 emissions in China. CO2 emissions increase global temperatures, precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and ocean levels. There is a need to shift towards cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, such as renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower._"

🔴 **Narcissism and Affective Polarization**
"_Our findings reveal that narcissism, and particularly the ‘rivalry’ aspect of narcissism, is associated with both positive and negative partisanship. This potentially not only explains why some people are more susceptible to affective polarization, but also has implications for elite polarization given that narcissism is an important predictor of elite entry._"

🔴 **Liars know they are lying: differentiating disinformation from disagreement**

We also show that disinformation and outright lies can often be identified and differ from good-faith political contestation._"

🔴 **Continuity and climate change: the Neolithic coastal settlement of Habonim North, Israel**

The results indicate the resilience of coastal communities in the face of significant climatic uncertainty and contribute to understanding human responses to environmental change._"

🔴 **‘Ex-Pagan Pagans’? Paul, Philo, and Gentile Ethnic Reconfiguration**
"_I argue that, similar to Philo’s proselyte inclusion strategy, Paul incorporates Gentiles-in-Christ into ethnic Israel. As Abraham’s ‘offspring’, Paul suggests that his addressees not only gain membership in Israel’s covenant on account of Israel’s messiah, but that they also acquire a new ethnic identity despite that their prior identities as ‘the Gentiles’ are not erased._"

🔴 **Earthquake at same time as eruption could have caused Pompeii deaths – study**
"_Archaeologists estimate that 15 to 20% of Pompeii’s population died in the eruption, mostly from thermal shock as a giant cloud of gases and ash covered the city._
_Volcanic ash then buried the Roman city, perfectly preserving the homes, public buildings, objects and even the people until its discovery in the late 16th century._"

**Repeated plague infections across six generations of Neolithic Farmers**

Together with the fact that these plague cases are found in one of the last populations with Neolithic Farmer ancestry observed in Scandinavia, we believe that plague could have been a contributing factor to the Neolithic decline._"

**Identification and measurement of intensive economic growth in a Roman imperial province**

**The genetic structure of Norway** 🇳🇴

**Evidence of Large Vessels and Sail in Bronze Age Scandinavia**
"_This study suggests that the Bronze Age boat imagery in southern Scandinavia depicts plank-built vessels of a type that belonged to the same boatbuilding tradition as the c. 350 BC Hjortspring boat. More importantly, aspects of this boat imagery can be directly related to the contemporary ship-settings, suggesting use of sail and the existence of boats that from stem to stem (excluding horn projections) might have been in the region of up 20–30 metres or perhaps even larger._"
