...products in the Portland store do not shy away from Li Ning's origins, highlighting apparel for popular sports in China like badminton, table tennis and kung fu - games you won't find front and center at nearby Niketown. Li Ning consciously decided not to shed its Chinese identity as it expands overseas, hoping instead to ride the growing influence of Chinese culture. Jay Li, the general manager of Li Ning USA, predicts that as Chinese soft power expands, China's tastes "will become part of the fabric of mainstream culture." Says Li: "When the tide starts to turn...
Scientists have no idea what the Denisova hominin looked like or how it behaved and interacted with early modern humans, and perhaps never will without a more complete fossil record. But even the preliminary genetic analysis has already shed new light on human ancestors' exodus from Africa and subsequent spread across the globe. The dominant theory holds that various hominin species left Africa in a series of distinct migrations, beginning with Homo erectus or a close relative a little under 2 million years ago, followed by the lineage that gave rise to Neanderthals, and finally the ancestors of modern humans...
Indeed, the discovery and genetic mapping of the Denisova hominin may also shed further light on the mystery as to why our species thrived while so many of our close genetic relatives succumbed to extinction. "We wish to find out which genes have changed since we split from these other human forms. Those changes are what makes us human - it's the biological reason for the great success of our species," says Krause. (See how to live 100 years...
...fact, every facet of this story touches a nerve. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” dabbles with the horrors of mental instability, broken families, rape, religious fanaticism, and racism. And while the tale is fictional, it attempts to shed light on societal issues in Sweden that are often overlooked: violence against women, capitalist corruption, and anti-Semitism...
