🔴 🧬 **Genetic data is an another asset to be exploited – beware who has yours**

John Naughton

“_When 23andMe’s data assets come up for sale the queue of likely buyers is going to be long, with health insurance and pharmaceutical giants at the front, followed by hedge-funds, private equity vultures and advertisers, with marketers bringing up the rear._”

Tracing Chemical Knowledge Over Centuries with #LLMs 🧪

Diego Alves, Sergei Bagdasarov & Badr M. Abdullah prompted models to generate structured metadata for 47k+ texts from the #RoyalSociety Corpus (1665–1996), enabling large-scale comparison of #Chemistry and #Biology over time.

They tracked how chemical substances migrated between disciplines revealing a "chemicalization" of biology in the 19th century and a long-term trend toward standardization. #OpenScience #DiachronicAnalysis #NLP

Most people think that #evolution is about dying, but it's not really the full story. It's also about not being born at all. What if people are actually evolving under the extreme pressure of the modern capitalism? The question remains - is humanity under active eugenics and they are selecting us to be their submissive cattle or are we evolving some immunity to the parasites?

Are the few people who do have children under those terrible conditions the ones who treasure their wholesome relationships over career or those who thrive as the slaves? I don't think it's actually being studied in this context. It feels creepy to even put those questions on the table.

Nevertheless, I think that humanity after the full societal collapse will be different from Homo Sapiens. We have reached the limit of that evolutionary plateau. 300k years was a good run. Good Game people! Cheers!

🔴 **Long-term hunter-gatherer continuity in the Rhine-Meuse region was disrupted by local formation of expansive Bell Beaker groups**

“_We document an exception to this pattern in the wider Rhine-Meuse area in communities in the wetlands, riverine areas, and coastal areas of the western and central Netherlands, Belgium and western Germany, where we assembled genome-wide data for 109 people 8500-1700 BCE. Here, a distinctive population with high hunter-gatherer ancestry (∼50%) persisted up to three thousand years later than in continental European regions, reflecting limited incorporation of females of Early European Farmer ancestry into local communities._”

bioRxiv · Long-term hunter-gatherer continuity in the Rhine-Meuse region was disrupted by local formation of expansive Bell Beaker groupsThe first phase of the ancient DNA revolution painted a broad-brush picture of European Holocene prehistory, whereby 6500-4000 BCE, farmers descending from western Anatolians mixed with local hunter-gatherers resulting in 70-100% ancestry turnover, then 3000-2500 BCE people associated with the Corded Ware complex spread steppe ancestry into north-central Europe. We document an exception to this pattern in the wider Rhine-Meuse area in communities in the wetlands, riverine areas, and coastal areas of the western and central Netherlands, Belgium and western Germany, where we assembled genome-wide data for 109 people 8500-1700 BCE. Here, a distinctive population with high hunter-gatherer ancestry (∼50%) persisted up to three thousand years later than in continental European regions, reflecting limited incorporation of females of Early European Farmer ancestry into local communities. In the western Netherlands, the arrival of the Corded Ware complex was also exceptional: lowland individuals from settlements adopting Corded Ware pottery had hardly any steppe ancestry, despite a characteristic early Corded Ware Y-chromosome. The limited influx may reflect the unique ecology of the region’s river-dominated landscapes, which were not amenable to wholesale adoption of the early Neolithic type of farming introduced by Linearbandkeramik, making it possible for previously established groups to thrive, and creating a persistent but permeable boundary that allowed transfer of ideas and low-level gene flow. This changed with the formation-through-mixture of Bell Beaker using populations ∼2500 BCE by fusion of local Rhine-Meuse people (9-17%) and Corded Ware associated migrants of both sexes. Their expansion from the Rhine-Meuse region then had a disruptive impact across a much wider part of northwest Europe, including Britain where its arrival was the main source of a 90-100% replacement of local Neolithic peoples. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Calling all physical science #researchers! The application process is open for the 2025 SNOLAB Underground Science Institute lecture program. Come to #SNOLAB for the summer, work on your project and/or a project at the lab, and get access to academic training and hands-on workshops. This is aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

We will start reviewing applications soon!

@Co_Biologists

Thank you to three of the societies we fund (British Society for Developmental Biology, British Society for Cell Biology and the Society for Experimental Biology) and everyone else who joined us for our Biologists @ 100 conference last week. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Our 100-year anniversary activities continue throughout 2025.

My apple has a red half and a green half. The parts are neatly divided and my, naturally subjective, feeling is that they have slightly different texture and taste.

Is this an example of a chimera or something?

Apple. Left is green. Right is red.
