Denisovans and others

August 18, 2025 - 23:00 -- Admin

Just over a year ago, I wrote a piece about the 2012 discovery of a group of early hominins, the Denisovans, from a cave in Siberia. All that was initially found was a finger bone, from which was extracted some DNA, which showed the owner as not belonging to the Neanderthals. This finger bone belonged to the first group of archaic humans to be revealed solely by their DNA and associated proteins, rather than the morphology of their fossilised bones.

Whose terrorists?

There has been a spate of vandalism and arson of synagogues, cars, a child-care centre, and sundry other sites in the last year or so. Politicians have labelled these attacks as antisemitic and at least some of them may be politically motivated, while the motivation of others is not so clear.

Facebook alternatives

As anyone who reads my stuff knows, I have been kicked off Facebook permanently, and while initially confused as to why it happened, I came to the conclusion that it was because of my posts about the genocide under way in Gaza and the running of the community standards system by zionists1. At the time, I said I’d look around for alternatives.

The first attempt to isolate a pancreatic extract by means of which the levels of blood glucose could be normalised in dogs was described by a Romanian researcher called Nicolae Paulescu1, but his experiments were interrupted by the First World War and were never acknowledged appropriately. However, after the war, in 1921, a young surgeon named Frederick Banting and his assistant Charles Best, from the University of Toronto, worked out how to remove insulin from a dog’s pancreas.

Do they think we are stupid?

Chiropterid excrement

Very much in the news with the genocide in Gaza is the philosophy or ideology of Zionism and attempts by pro-Israel lobby groups to conflate antisemitism with antizionism, with the bogus ‘report’ to the Australian government by Jillian Segal being a case in point1.

Pillocks or Zionists?

I have been banned from Facebook for a second time. The first time was some years ago, when I posted a simple statement along the lines of ‘with Brexit, the UK has shot itself in the foot’. The morons who ran the community standards system at Facebook told me that I was advocating violence, rather than just pointing out the stupidity of the UK leaving the European Union. I seem to remember that ban lasted for a week.

Now I have seen everything

I was wading through some of the facebook posts I received after a day or so of doing other stuff, and I came across a meme that stated that the idiotic antivaxxer who is Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Service, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, has now turned his attention to ‘chemtrails’1.
