| Morocco fossils push back the timeline on human origins Posted: 07 Jun 2017 10:00 AM PDT  Fossilized remains found in Morocco might belong to our 300,000-year-old ancestors. The skulls and bones could represent the earliest known fossils of Homo sapiens, the human species to which we all belong, scientists said in two new studies published Wednesday. If true, the findings would mean that our species originated at least 100,000 years earlier than previously thought. The results could also bring more clarity to our still-fuzzy understanding of how, where, and when humans evolved in Africa. SEE ALSO: 7-million-year-old teeth add new layer to human origin story Until now, the earliest fossil attributed to a modern form of H. sapiens was about 195,000 years old and came from Ethiopia. Many anthropologists believe that all living humans descended from a population living in East Africa around that time, and that our modern human biology appeared relatively rapidly. The first, almost-complete adult mandible discovered at the site of Jebel Irhoud in Morocco.Image: Jean-Jacques Hublin, MPI-EVA, Leipzig"Our results challenge this picture in many ways," Jean-Jacques Hublin, a professor at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, who led research at the Moroccan site, said on a press call. Hublin and his team found the fossilized remains, along with stone tools and animal bones, at the Jebel Irhoud archeological cave site, which lies 62 miles west of Marrakesh. The site was first discovered in the 1960s by Moroccan miners, but it wasn't until 2004 that researchers began to properly clean and excavate all that was left behind. Two researchers not involved in the new studies said they agreed the Jebel Irhoud fossils "now represent the best-dated evidence of an early 'pre-modern' phase in H. sapiens evolution." Chris Stringer and Julia Galway-Witham, both of the Natural History Museum in London, said the specimens "probably constitute an early representative of the H. sapiens lineage that could illuminate the evolution of our species," they wrote in an accompanying article in Nature. Jean-Jacques Hublin points to a crushed human skull, whose orbits are visible just beyond his finger tip.Image: Shannon McPherron, MPI EVA LeipzigThe Morocco remains together represent at least five individuals, including three adults, one adolescent, and an 8-year-old child. Stone tools from the site appear to date to the early Middle Stone Age, an ancient cultural stage in the north, east, and south of Africa that began around 280,000 years ago. At the site, fragments of burned flint suggested that humans used fire intensely there. Researchers used two techniques to determine the site's age: thermoluminescence dating, which involves measuring the accumulated dose of radiation in minerals, and Electron Spin Resonance dating, which measures the number of trapped electrons that have accumulated since the object was buried. The team concluded the site was around 300,000 to 350,000 years old. "These dates were a big 'wow,'" Hublin recalled. "That was much older than anything else in Africa we could relate to our species." The age of the site, and the fact that it's across the African continent from Ethiopia, indicate that H. sapiens were more widely dispersed throughout Africa than previously understood, according to the new research. The fossils also suggest that our species evolved more gradually than we thought. Early H. sapiens appeared to have had a combination of advanced features, including the face of modern humans, an archaic conditions, such as more ancient forms of endocraniums and brains — which suggests our species' face developed before the skull. Richard Klein, an anthropology professor at Stanford who provided feedback on the studies before publication, said the face-before-skull was a "reasonable idea." But he said additional fossil specimens were needed to either support or disprove the pattern. "It's just a hypothesis," he said in a phone interview, adding that the new research was still "important" to our the of human evolution. Hublin noted the studies don't claim to say "that Morocco became the cradle of modern humankind." Instead, the research points to a "pan-African emergence of our species," he said. WATCH:

| At WWDC 2017, Apple proved it hasn’t forgotten about its pro users Posted: 07 Jun 2017 01:54 PM PDT 
One of the more interesting narratives to surround Apple in recent years holds that the company has either forgotten or simply doesn't care about pro users anymore. This narrative can arguably be traced back to the company's 2013 Mac Pro design and only picked up steam following the release of Apple's 2016 MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar. As a quick refresher, Apple's flagship MacBook Pro was derided for being overpriced and under-powered, with many users lamenting the fact that Apple's pro-oriented machine could only support 16GB of RAM. In fact, the backlash against Apple was so strong that Tim Cook and other executives were forced to confront the criticism head on, with Cook stating the following during a company shareholder meeting earlier this year: "You will see us do more in the pro area. The pro area is very important to us. The creative area is very important to us in particular."
Just two months later, Apple executives held a special meeting with select tech outlets where they assured developers and creative professionals that new and advanced pro-oriented hardware was in the product pipeline. Not only did Apple relay that a completely redesigned Mac Pro was on the way, but Phil Schiller made a point of noting that the company was working on iMac configurations developed "specifically with the pro customer in mind." True to form, Apple at WWDC 2017 demonstrated that its pro users have a lot to look forward to. Aside from supercharging its iPad lineup, Apple updated the entirety of its MacBook line with speedier Kaby Lake processors and faster SSDs. Further, some of Apple's notebooks will now feature more powerful graphics. Apple on Monday also took some time to refresh its iMac lineup, gracing its iconic all-in-one machine with more memory and faster processors. Of course, the star of show -- at least as it pertains to the Mac -- was Apple's iMac Pro. Priced at $4,999 with an option to max the machine out with 18 core Xeon processors, Apple's brand new iMac is a clear indication that Apple has decidedly not forgotten about its pro user base. In a nutshell, Apple's upcoming iMac Pro is an absolute monster of a machine. 
And though the iMac Pro won't ship until December, the fact that Apple announced it so far in advance was a subtle nod to users who have grown impatient with slower product upgrades over the years. In other words, the current MacBook and iMac upgrades and the forthcoming iMac Pro update sends a clear message that Apple not only has exciting new hardware today, but even more exciting and powerful hardware coming down the pipeline. And that's not even to speak of a revamped Mac Pro which, if we're lucky, will be unveiled sometime next year. WWDC 2017 may not have been the most exciting keynote we've ever seen, but for any consumers who has been patiently waiting for a solid improvement to the Mac, Monday's keynote was nothing short of encouraging.

| Tesla releases Model Y teaser photo and sheds light on upcoming semi truck Posted: 07 Jun 2017 01:31 PM PDT 
Tesla currently has all hands on deck as it prepares to begin mass production on the Model 3, but Elon Musk and co. certainly aren't resting on their laurels. On the contrary, Tesla is planning to introduce a number of new vehicles in the coming years, including a revamped Roadster and a pickup truck. Also on the docket is a crossover version of the Model 3 dubbed the Model Y. Elon Musk initially confirmed that the Model Y was in the works about two years ago, even hinting that it may feature the same type of falcon wing doors Tesla originally introduced with the Model X. Notably, though, the Model Y will likely be based on a different platform than the Model 3.
Yesterday, Tesla held its annual shareholders meeting in California and took the time to disclose some new information on a few upcoming Tesla initiatives. Of particular interest, though, was the first official teaser we've seen of the Model Y, an image which you can view below. 
It's hard to take too much away from the photo, but it's still a lot sleeker than some of the previous concepts we've seen floating around the web. During the shareholder meeting, Musk stated that the Model Y may prove to be even more popular than the Model 3. That's quite a prediction given that Model 3 reservations are believed to be in the 400,000 range. At this point, it remains unclear when Tesla plans to introduce the Model Y. Indeed, the next car likely to come off of Tesla's production line --after the Model 3 -- is a Tesla semi-truck. With respect to Tesla's upcoming semi-truck, Musk yesterday (via Electrek) said that it will feature the "highest weight capability with long-range" and that we can expect to see a working prototype before 2018. "We have shown it to a number of people who buy heavy duty trucking and they all love it," Musk said. "They just want to know how many can they buy and how soon. The biggest customers of the heavy duty Tesla Semi are helping ensure that it is specified to their needs. It's not a mystery. they already know that it is going to meet their needs because they told us what those needs are." About two months ago, Musk said that Tesla's semi-truck "team has done an amazing job" while adding that the design is "seriously next level." Additionally, Tesla a few weeks back rolled out the following teaser image of its forthcoming semi-truck. http://media.zenfs.com/en_US/News/BGR_News/tesla-semi-truck.jpg?quality=98&strip=all&strip=all

| 99-million-year-old bird fossil has been found preserved in amber and it's truly exquisite Posted: 08 Jun 2017 08:35 AM PDT  We might just be one step closer to a real life Jurassic Park scenario. A three-inch fossil of a 99-million-year-old baby bird was found in an amber mine in Myanmar. SEE ALSO: T. rex might not have been fluffy, after all The hatchling is the most complete bird preserved in amber that has ever been found from the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago, according to a new study published in the journal Gondwana Research. The fossil includes most of the skull and neck, part of a wing and hind leg, and soft tail tissue. Scientists were able to collect data from bone and tissue samples taken from its skull, neck, feet, and wing, and they determined that the hatching was a member of the avian group, Enantiornithes.

Lida Xing of the China University of Geosciences later identified the claw as the foot of a bird from the Enantiornithes group. Researchers said they're excited about what this new find can bring to the field of paleontology. "Overall, the new specimen brings a new level of detail to our understanding of the anatomy of the juvenile stages of the most species-rich clade of pre-modern birds," they wrote in the study.

The White House hasn't released too much information on who those "victims" may be, but Republicans including the president have railed on rising premiums in states across the country. Rate hikes and insurer abandonment of markets — Anthem recently announced that it would drop out of the Ohio market, for instance — don't necessarily paint as pure of a failure of Obamacare as Republicans say, however.

| NASA’s new Mars rover is completely insane Posted: 07 Jun 2017 03:34 PM PDT 
Thus far, NASA has landed a total of four rovers on Mars, and while the conversation surrounding sending humans to the red planet is a hot topic, there are no concrete plans to actually make the journey happen. When it does happen, however, the brave folks who make the trip are going to need something to drive on the planet's surface if they hope to actually do any exploring. With that in mind, NASA has revealed a concept vehicle that has no business being sent to Mars, but the agency is pretty excited about it anyway.
The vehicle, which has been named simply "Mars rover," looks like a cross between a Halo warthog, the Mako from Mass Effect, and the Batmobile. It's a futuristic, manned exploration vehicle that looks like it would be more at home in the next Alien flick than actually being driven by astronauts. It's packed with displays and controls that are straight up sci-fi, and it looks both rugged and incredibly intimidating. That being said, this isn't a NASA product. Despite being shown off at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and wearing NASA's own badge right on its nose, the vehicle was actually crafted by a team of custom car builders who were clearly aiming for a specific look at the expense of all else. Still, the rover is a pretty capable machine, and is capable of speeds as high as 70 mph (around 15 mph on Mars) via its electric drivetrain. You definitely won't see NASA sending one of these into space any time soon, but it sure is pretty to look at.

| Long battle feared as militants hold on in Philippine city Posted: 06 Jun 2017 10:35 PM PDT  With bomb-proof tunnels, anti-tank weapons hidden in mosques, human shields and a "mastery" of the terrain, Islamist militants holed up in a southern Philippine city are proving a far tougher opponent than military chiefs expected. Two weeks after gunmen waving black flags of the Islamic State (IS) group rampaged through the Muslim city of Marawi, initial assertions from authorities that the conflict would be over in days have given way to warnings of a protracted battle. Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana admitted at the start of the conflict that security forces were taken by surprise when dozens of gunmen appeared on the streets of Marawi following a failed raid to capture one of their leaders.
