Solar plane lands in New York City

A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said.  The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website.  Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015. The solar cr...

Genetic analyses found surprising genetic link- the Americas and Oceania.

Image result for genetic analyses have found evidence for a surprising genetic link between the native populations of the Americas and Oceania.

Two different hereditary examinations have discovered proof for a shocking hereditary connection between the local populaces of the Americas and Oceania. The DNA of some local Amazonians shows huge comparability to indigenous tenants of Australia and Melanesia. The two examination bunches, be that as it may, offer differentiating understandings of how the Americas were initially inhabited. The studies have been distributed in the diaries Science and Nature. Agreement the first individuals to populate the Americas came however Siberia - along an area scaffold joining it with Europe and Asia. In any case, exactly where these individuals originated from and when they arrived has been a matter of some debate.By examining the DNA of cutting edge local Americans and antiquated human remains, the gathering writing in Science reasoned that all present-day Native Americans touched base in a solitary movement no sooner than 23,000 years back. 

Image result for genetic analyses have found evidence for a surprising genetic link between the native populations of the Americas and Oceania.At that point, they contend, Native Americans split into two branches around 13,000 years back: one that is currently scattered crosswise over North and South America while the other is confined to North America. "Our paper demonstrates that the most straightforward conceivable model appears to be overall to be valid, with [that] one prominent exemption," Prof Rasmus Nielsen from the University of California, Berkley, told . So the whimsical thoughts that by one means or another the Americas were populated by individuals originating from Europe and a wide range of different spots aren't right. The examination likewise discounts a hypothesis, supported by some, of an amazed relocation from Siberia: the first over 30,000 years prior which was stemmed for a long time in light of ice obstructing the course, and afterward a second wave when the course was clear. 
Be that as it may, in concurrence with the study in Nature, Prof 
Image result for genetic analyses have found evidence for a surprising genetic link between the native populations of the Americas and Oceania.Nielsen's group does report hints of "Australo-Melanesian" heritage in specific populaces, including those of the Aleutian islands (off Alaska) and the Surui individuals of the Brazilian Amazon.Prof David Reich, from Harvard Medical School, drove the different study in Nature. He told the BBC that "both studies demonstrate that there have been different beats of relocation into the Americas". As per Prof Reich, the disclosure of Oceanian lineage among certain Native American gatherings demonstrates that the Americas were inhabited by a more differing arrangement of populaces than already acknowledged. 
"The easiest conceivable model never anticipated a proclivity between Amazonians today and Australasians," he said. "This recommends that there is a hereditary populace that crossed into the Americas that is not the same as the populace that offered ascent to the considerable larger part of Americans. What's more, that was an extraordinary shock," he said. Prof Reich accepts that the most conceivable clarification is that there was a different relocation from Australasia, potentially around 15,000 years back. This gathering, he conjectures, was presumably all the more broadly scattered crosswise over North America however was in the end pushed out by other local American bunches. 
Prof Nielsen, then again, has an alternate translation. He accepts that the hints of Australasian DNA stem from a later relocation, around 8,000 years back, which advanced around the Pacific coast.
