Scientists have traced the origin of the modern horse to a lineage that emerged 4,200 years ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The horse transformed human history – and now scientists have a clearer idea of when humans began to transform the horse.

Around 4,200 years ago, one particular lineage of horse quickly became dominant across Eurasia, suggesting that’s when humans started to spread domesticated horses around the world, according to research published Thursday in the journal Nature.

There was something special about this horse: It had a genetic mutation that changed the shape of its back, likely making it easier to ride.

Quantum Pioneers: How Magnetic Quivers Are Rewriting the Rules of Particle Physics

A simple concept of decay and fission of “magnetic quivers” helps to clarify complex quantum physics and mathematical structures.

Researchers employed magnetic quivers to delve into the fundamentals of quantum physics, specifically through the lens of supersymmetric quantum field theories. They have provided a novel interpretation of the Higgs mechanism, illustrating how particles gain mass and the potential decay and fission within QFTs.

Episode 3: “DNA Barcoding and Projectome Mapping”

Listen to this episode from Carboncopies Podcast on Spotify. In the third episode of the Carboncopies Podcast Series, Professor Tony Zador presents his work in DNA barcoding and projectome mapping. This technique has already been utilized by the well known Allen Brain Atlas. Zador further presented a nascent extension of this work that offers the possibility of using the same basic technique to map connectomes.

The U.S. added 600,000 new millionaires last year as AI fueled markets

The big question is whether the wealth boom of the past decade, initially fueled by low interest rates and liquidity, and more recently by Covid-19 pandemic stimulus and artificial intelligence, can continue. Global conflicts, elections, interest rates and a potential economic slowdown could all slow the pace of wealth creation, said Elias Ghanem, global head of the Capgemini Research Institute for Financial Services.

“The last 10 years were exceptional,” Ghanem said. “We now have inflation, a potential recession and geopolitical problems and elections. The environment is completely different.”

Indeed, globally, the wealth picture looks more mixed than in the U.S. The number of millionaires worldwide grew 5.1% last year, to 22.8 million, according to the report. Their combined fortunes grew to a record $86.8 trillion.

Episode 1: “This Is Mind Uploading and Why Humanity Needs It”

Listen to this episode from Carboncopies Podcast on Spotify. As the first in the Carboncopies Podcast Series, Dr. Randal Koene addresses Mind Uploading generally and defines terms while outlining the goals of Carboncopies.org. In this episode the urgent need for Mind Uploading is presented as the critical next step in the evolution of humanity and consciousness.
