Polio is Increasing In MENA Region

 ▶ We have vaccinations but in war-torn countries polio now increasing. | mena as region stories news.| ◀ |
Despite widespread vaccinations incidents of polio are increasing for north Africa and the Middle East.  Many do not have the vaccine because it can "infect" healthy children.  The oral version causes paralysis in 3 people in a million. Vaccine by injection is safer.  Indeed, some countries such as Australia only use this method.  |||increasing do mena on polio to region is polio in increasing to mena at vaccine. |
Polio vaccination in Middle East
A new way has been found to identify the level of polio spreading silently in a population.  Israel tested sewerage of Bedouin towns for the polio virus and  could accurately "see" the numbers.  Of course, individuals could not be identified.  Rather than waiting for a sentinel case to show itself, the new system gives a warning to start vaccinating.   |||vaccine an mena go increasing polio as it region go mena of increasing up vaccine |   

The disease generally hits young children under five.  It attacks the spinal cord, paralysing major muscles, particularly in the lungs and legs.  Iron lung machines which are the only option in such cases are not available in affected geographic regions. | | australia pyrethroid not. |          | or an region up increasing to vaccine.

Natural History Museum Human Evolution Gallery

 The Human Evolution gallery at Natural History explores the origins of Homo sapiens by tracing our lineage back to when it separated from that of our closest living relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. Around 200,000 years ago, Africa was where modern humans developed. They have smaller faces and brow ridges, a chin that is more prominent than that of other ancient humans, and a brain case that is higher and more rounded. Modern human fossils from Israel (around 100,000 years old), Africa (around 195,000 years old), and Australia (around 12,000 years old) are among the casts on display. These fossils demonstrate that typical characteristics of modern humans evolved over time rather than emerging fully formed from Africa. They also suggest that at least two waves of people leaving Africa may have occurred, one about 100,000 years ago and the other about 60,000 years ago. We are all descendants of those who left during that second migration wave outside of Africa. Source: Natural...

Study of Tooth Enamel Indicates Neanderthal Diet Was Carnivorous

 A new study on Neanderthal dietary practices has just been published in the journal PNAS by researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and several German scientific institutions. They were able to determine that a Neanderthal who lived in a cave on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Paleolithic period (50,000 years ago) ate exclusively carnivorous food using a newly developed method for studying the chemical signatures of ancient tooth enamel. This isn't the first study to find this, either. Despite this, it is a one-of-a-kind and significant discovery because it was made through the development of a novel analytical method that could be used to learn more about the diet and way of life of Neanderthals who lived in other parts of Eurasia in the distant past.   To investigate the diet and eating habits of Neanderthals, numerous research projects have been initiated. However, they have resulted in contradictory outcomes. The CNRS researchers...
