'Here we report ancient genomic data from the Central Sahara, obtained from two approximately 7,000-year-old Pastoral Neolithic female individuals buried in the Takarkori rock shelter in southwestern Libya. The majority of Takarkori individuals’ ancestry stems from a previously unknown North African genetic lineage that diverged from sub-Saharan African lineages around the same time as present-day humans outside Africa and remained isolated throughout most of its existence. Both Takarkori individuals are closely related to ancestry first documented in 15,000-year-old foragers from Taforalt Cave, Morocco'

EurekAlert!Into the great wide open: How steppe pastoralist groups formed and transformed over timeWith the time travelling ability of archaeogenetic studies it has become possible to shed light onto the dynamic past of human populations world-wide. Integrated with archaeological and anthropological data, it has been shown that fundamental changes in lifestyle, culture, technical know-how and social systems were often linked to the movement and interaction of people. By studying 131 individuals from the wider Caucasus region, spanning a time transect of 6000 years, a team of international researchers was able to reconstruct a series of key events when contact and innovation transfer facilitated the economic exploration of the West Eurasian steppe belt.

#ChineseGovernment says #relocations are poverty alleviation measures & new locations are ecologically sound, so that affected #Tibetans can improve their livelihoods by relocating, Pearson said.

“But in reality, that hasn’t been the case because many of the people are #pastoralists, and they live off the land, but when they move to more urban-like areas, the work options are different & they would need to speak #Chinese rather than Tibetan,” she added

"The Pastoralists and Graziers Association WA want to see the act Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act officially withdrawn. The laws require some WA landowners to check for the presence of cultural heritage before conducting any activities that may compromise such sites. Where a risk exists, landowners may need to seek permits or prepare management plans depending on the type of activity and the extent to which the land will be cleared or disturbed."
