The question of when the first people began creating clothes for themselves is one of the most difficult in anthropology. Furthermore‚ what these clothes looked like remains uncertain since little has endured from that era. It is believed that people‚ or more accurately‚ the ancestors of people‚ lost their fur around 1.2 million years ago‚ prompting them to utilize skins as a means to ward off the cold during the night. A DNA study indicated that clothing emerged in humans approximately 107 thousand years ago‚ likely in a simple and primitive form. Presumably‚ the initial garments were akin to lightly tanned skins‚ wrapped around the body and possibly secured with leather laces to prevent them from slipping off. Elena Rusakovich‚ IGN Altai State University However‚ recent research by Russian scientists from Altai State University delved into artifacts found in Denisova Cave‚ the dwelling place of the Denisovans (Homo sapiens denisova or Homo altaensis) between 200 and 73 thousand years ago. The scientists successfully reconstructed the clothing worn by the Denisovans. Even during ongoing excavations in Denisova Cave‚ it became evident that the Denisovans were among the earliest people to craft sewn clothes‚ utilizing bone needles and tendons instead of threads. They demonstrated adeptness in processing the fragile mineral chloritolite‚ creating exquisite bracelets. The Denisovans fashioned nearly authentic “costumes” featuring headdresses and shoes adorned with beads‚ shells‚ and feathers. The primary garment was crafted from wolf skin and accompanied by laced armbands‚ while the shoes also featured laces. Altai scientists replicated this costume using modern artificial materials that closely resembled the original appearance. As a species‚ Denisovans represent a cross between Neanderthals and modern humans. Initially discovered in Denisova Cave in Altai‚ their remains‚ though scarce‚ were later found in Yakutia‚ the Omsk region‚ and Tibetan China‚ each containing Denisovan DNA.

The pro-Biden media display their chutzpah when they attempt to blame a former president for everything that's gone wrong at the border under President Biden. We're pointing out on social media that the amount has quadrupled under Biden‚ as he came into office and immediately dismantled Trump's border-control measures:  Biden's Border Invasion pic.twitter.com/qplhzKJg1f — MRCTV (@mrctv) January 28‚ 2024 New York Times congressional reporter Annie Karni provided Exhibit A in media chutzpah on Friday's front page. The headline:  Trump Strengthens Grip on Capitol Hill as He Presses Toward Nomination The former president’s opposition has all but killed the prospects for a bipartisan border deal‚ reflecting how his influence in Congress has grown as he gains ground in the Republican primary. In Karni's narrative‚ Trump is the villain‚ pressing "inexperienced" House Speaker Mike Johnson into doing his will. For months‚ Senate Republicans have been working with Democrats on a deal they have described as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a conservative border security bill‚ and for weeks‚ they have hinted that they are tantalizingly close to an agreement. Their timing could not be worse. As former President Donald J. Trump moves closer to becoming his party's presidential nominee and Republican lawmakers consolidate behind him‚ he is wielding a heavier hand than any time since leaving office over his party's agenda in Congress. His vocal opposition to the emerging border compromise has all but killed the measure's chances in a divided Congress as he puts his own hard-line immigration policies once again at the center of his presidential campaign.  Democrats are never "hardline" when they repeal the other party's "hardline" policies. It's always assumed to be the essence of moderation. Nowhere in this article is the notion that President Biden has the executive powers to toughen the border without Congress -- just as he used his executive powers right at the beginning to loosen Trump's border policies. The pollsters at Tipp Insights were amazed at this story:  In short‚ we are gobsmacked by the Times's chutzpah for pinning the border situation on Trump. As far as laying the blame goes‚ the Times hit a new low by holding Trump accountable for not solving a crisis that the Democrats‚ led by President Biden‚ have allowed for three solid years to fester and cripple the nation. What an irony that the Times and the media would attempt to shift voters' perceptions on this issue. Americans perceive Trump as stronger on immigration than Biden by a margin of 14 points. This is the closest that Karni came to Biden's responsibilities‚ and it's not that close. It puts the notion of Biden's failure as a wild charge made by that hardliner Trump:  Attacking Mr. Biden’s handling of the border is already a main plank of Mr. Trump’s campaign. He has accused Mr. Biden of instituting “open border” policies that allow terrorists and fentanyl to pour into the country‚ while vowing to build “even more wall” along the southern border. A Trump campaign ad claims that Mr. Biden’s immigration policies raise “the possibility of a Hamas attack” in the United States. This is how Democrat papers write Democrat stories and expect everyone to accept it as the Objective Gospel.

As a lead prosecutor in her Georgia state case against Donald Trump‚ Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis hired Nathan Wade‚ a married man with whom‚ despite being given every opportunity to do so‚ she has not denied having an affair.  He is unqualified‚ apparently never having handled a major felony case.  She claims to have paid Wade at the same rate she paid the other lead prosecutors. In fact‚ she paid one of the other prosecutors $100 per hour less than Wade‚ despite the other prosecutor's incomparably better credentials.  She paid her apparent paramour in excess of $650‚000 of taxpayer money‚ then went on vacations with him‚ and there is evidence that he paid for some costs of those vacations with the funds received from Willis. So‚ how would you describe that sordid situation? Why‚ as a "little thing."  At least‚ if you're Michael Steele‚ the former RNC chairman turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project. Steele made his outrageous assertion on Sunday's The Weekend‚ the new MSNBC show he's now co-hosting. Steele told law professor Paul Butler: "You stated at the beginning‚ she's done it all right. She's gotten the conviction‚ you know‚ the jurors to bring the formal charges that got Donald Trump in court. The process unfolded the right way. But it is this little thing that now stands to derail perceptually what this case is about‚ and refocus it on her behavior as opposed to what Donald Trump did on that phone call‚ and all the other things." Steele also kvetched that the "MAGA system" is now "looking at the same kind of narratives regarding every other prosecutor that's coming after Trump. They're trying to find that thing that creates that perception‚ that public perception wedge‚ that undermines the validity of the case." If other prosecutors have engaged in unethical conduct similar to Willis's‚ would Steele want that information to remain hidden? Apparently so.  That's how badly Steele's TDS has distorted his view of justice. MSNBC The Weekend 1/28/24 8:19 am ET PAUL BUTLER: She [Fani Willis] still can win. There's no formal reason why she has to be kicked off the case. Under Georgia law‚ there's a conflict of interest if the prosecutor has a stake in the defendant's conviction. There hasn't been any persuasive allegation that that's true.  The problem is‚ number one‚ this will delay the proceeding even more‚ even if she's not kicked off the case. Trump and other defendants will appeal. That will take more time. And the second‚ there's obviously‚ there is now a big perception issue with this case. The public isn't sure whether to have confidence in the investigation‚ and perhaps‚ even‚ in the ultimate verdict. MICHAEL STEELE: And that's the rub. And‚ and‚ and it's not just here.  You have to understand how it works inside of this particular MAGA system. They are‚ right now‚ looking at the same kind of narratives regarding every other prosecutor that's coming after Trump‚ including Jack Smith.  They're trying to find that thing that creates that perception‚ that public perception wedge‚ that undermines the validity of the case. You stated at the beginning‚ she's done it all right. She's gotten the conviction‚ you know‚ the jurors to bring the formal charges that got Donald Trump in court. The process unfolded the right way.  But it is this little thing that now stands to derail perceptually what this case is about‚ and refocus it on her behavior as opposed to what Donald Trump did on that phone call‚ and all the other things. And that‚ that's the danger here for a lot of prosecutors and other government officials who are going after Donald Trump right now.  Rightfully‚ because Donald Trump‚ to your earlier point‚ these are his actions that the court system is responding to. They're just not waking up in the middle of the night going‚ you know what‚ I think we're just gonna go out and just prosecute Donald Trump for‚ I don't know‚ let's see if we can find some government documents. So that‚ that's the problem with this whole thing.

It’s just over four months since the Payday 3 Steam launch‚ but the Starbreeze FPS sequel is seriously struggling to maintain a player base.
