Ho sempre trovato affascinante il tentativo di risalire all'indietro e trovare il punto di partenza di tutto. I Mormoni costruiscono ingenue banche dati con date di nascita e di morte di tutti, formalmente per battezzarli ex post, in realtà per cercare di risalire ad Adamo ed Eva. Gli scienziati analizzano il DNA. E si sa che veniamo tutti dall'Africa, e siamo tutti proprio tutti uguali. Quel che non si sapeva bene erano i modi e i tempi. Adesso c'è parecchia più luce sull'argomento: una singola migrazione dall'Africa, che ha fatto fuori le precedenti.
Money quote: "If they did exist, these early human pioneers were able to survive for tens of thousands of years, said Luca Pagani, a co-author of Dr. Metspalu at the University of Cambridge and the Estonian Biocentre.
But when the last wave came out of Africa, descendants of the first wave disappeared. “They may have not been technologically advanced, living in small groups,” Dr. Pagani said. “Maybe it was easy for a major later wave that was more successful to wipe them out.”
The new research also suggests that the splintering of the human tree began earlier than experts had suspected."

Peraltro, c'è anche da parlare di questo paper di Nature (purtroppo a pagamento, ma per fortuna l'abstract basta alla maggior parte di noi) che spiega in quale maniera il clima abbia fatto da guida per le migrazioni umane spiegando perché i primi uomini siano usciti dall'Africa e si siano sparpagliati per tutto il pianeta (che all'epoca era morfologicamente parecchio diverso da adesso).
Money quote: "On the basis of fossil and archaeological data it has been hypothesized that the exodus of Homo sapiens out of Africa and into Eurasia between ~50–120 thousand years ago occurred in several orbitally paced migration episodes1, 2, 3, 4. Crossing vegetated pluvial corridors from northeastern Africa into the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant and expanding further into Eurasia, Australia and the Americas, early H. sapiens experienced massive time-varying climate and sea level conditions on a variety of timescales. Hitherto it has remained difficult to quantify the effect of glacial- and millennial-scale climate variability on early human dispersal and evolution. Here we present results from a numerical human dispersal model, which is forced by spatiotemporal estimates of climate and sea level changes over the past 125 thousand years. The model simulates the overall dispersal of H. sapiens in close agreement with archaeological and fossil data and features prominent glacial migration waves across the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant region around 106–94, 89–73, 59–47 and 45–29 thousand years ago. The findings document that orbital-scale global climate swings played a key role in shaping Late Pleistocene global population distributions, whereas millennial-scale abrupt climate changes, associated with Dansgaard–Oeschger events, had a more limited regional effect."

A Single Migration From Africa Populated the World, Studies Find (Published 2016)
Unprecedented DNA analyses of people in indigenous populations suggest that almost all non-Africans trace their roots to one migration from the continent.
La storia delle spose di guerra giapponesi: negli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta sposarono soldati americani, andarono negli Stati Uniti e lì scomparirono.
È una storia affascinante che l'autrice conosce quasi direttamente (è figlia di una di queste coppie) e sulla quale ha fatto anche un documentario che penso valga la pena vedere: "Fall Seven Times, Get Up Eight: The Japanese War Brides".
Se ci pensate, una cosa incredibile a livello personale: abbandonare tutto, andare dietro a uno dei nemici, cambiare continente, entrare in un mondo diverso, incomprensibile e forse mai compreso, facendo e tirando su figli e tenendo la casa in un universo rurale e periferico. E stiamo parlando di decine di migliaia di donne: probabilmente 45mila. Se avete un minimo di empatia per due popoli stranieri, questo incrocio e sovrapposizione è straziante e bellissima al tempo stesso. Raccontata con grazia e fattualità da una giornalista figlia e al tempo stesso incinta, nel pieno di un cambiamento che la fa riflettere su chi sia sua madre e su quale sia il loro posto nella vita.
Money quote: "They are sisters and daughters of the ferocious enemy that attacked Pearl Harbor in the “day of infamy,” an enemy that surrendered four years later after waves of firebombing on Japanese cities and the dropping of atomic bombs. They married men who occupied their country and came to the United States. And then? They disappeared into America. There were tens of thousands of them, yet they vanished from public awareness — Japanese women who were barely a blip in immigration history, who married into families of North Dakota farmers, Wisconsin loggers, Rhode Island general store owners"

Quando si progetta e si costruisce qualcosa, come strutturiamo il processo sottostante? Esiste un formato unico oppure ci possono essere variazioni, o addirittura modi diversi per obiettivi diversi? Un po' di sano relativismo che fa tanto bene anche a chi si occupa di software.

Quando stavo finendo il liceo (classico) saltò fuori questo libro di I F Stone, giornalista investigativo che, durante la pensione, si è trasformato in un classicista per risolvere quello che considerava un mistero: perché Socrsre venne processato e soprattutto perché venne condannato.
Considerato "influente" negli Usa, i miei prof nonché preti (la mia scuola era un collegio religioso) lo hanno considerato unanimemente una cavolata.
Anni dopo (parecchi anni dopo) lo ritrovo menzionato in questo saggio di tutt'altro livello, che racconta le possibili interpretazioni di un fatto storico che tuttora ci interroga e ci pizzica. Esattamente come il suo protagonista avrebbe voluto che facesse.
Non fatevi ingannare se a un certo punto sembra di non capire da che parte sta andando il diconso. Se avete una certa forma mentis, che agli studenti e soprattutto ai lettori americani manca completamente, chi fosse Socrate e la strada che ha seguito appare abbastanza chiara. (E non stiamo certo parlando di suicidio volontario, "assistito dalla
giuria").
Money quote: "The trial of Socrates was not a show trial. The jury’s vote was close, and Plato’s version of his speech gives reason to suspect that, if Socrates had delivered a different, more ordinary defence speech, playing to the jurors’ sympathies, he could have changed enough votes to win his case. But, both Plato’s and Xenophon’s reports make it clear that Socrates did not deliver an ordinary defence speech. Rather than appeal to the jurors’ sympathies, he challenged them. With unsettling metaphors and logical demonstrations, he made it clear that he opposed democracy and would never abandon his mission of public philosophising. Xenophon implies that Socrates chose that sort of speech as a method of jury-assisted suicide: he was, according to Xenophon, tired of life and allowed the Athenians to end it for him. But Plato’s version is, I think much more convincing."

Come vi dicevo: se usate Gmail c'è un trucco per moltiplicare il vostro indirizzi di posta facendo convergere tutto su un solo indirizzo reale: utilizzare "+". Ad esempio, [email protected] può diventare [email protected]. Per Gmail è sempre lo stesso indirizzo, ma voi potete utilizzarlo ad esempio per iscrivervi a uno di quei servizi che utilizzano la mail come nome utente. In questo modo avete una linea di difesa in più, perché potete creare indirizzi unico per ogni servizio ([email protected], [email protected] ) e ridurre la probabilità che i malintenzionati possano indovinare la vostra mail e partire da quel dato per fare un attacco. (Ricordatevi poi di usare sempre, quando disponibile, l'autenticazione a due fattori).
