Bedding of grass and ashes The Border Cave site in the KwaZulu-Natal region South Africa has been a rich source archaeological knowledge about Stone Age humans because its well-preserved stratigraphic record. Wadley et al. now report discovery bedding Cave, dated to approximately 200,000 years ago. bedding, identified with range microscopic spectroscopic techniques, was mingled layers ash. It also incorporated debris from lithics, burned bone, rounded ochre grains, all which were clear...
The study of plant remains in archaeological sites, along with a better understanding the use plants by prehistoric populations, can help us shed light on changes survival strategies hunter-gatherers and consequent impacts modern human cognition, social organization, technology. locality Pinnacle Point (Mossel Bay, South Africa) includes series coastal caves, rock-shelters, open-air sites occupations spanning Acheulian through Middle Stone Age (MSA) Later (LSA). These have provided some...
Genetic testing is becoming more commonplace in general and specialist health care, should always be accompanied by genetic counselling, according to legislation many European countries recommendations professional bodies. Personal competence necessary provide safe effective counselling. Clinical counselling supervision of genetics healthcare practitioners plays a key role quality assurance, providing environment not only for patients but professionals too. However, countries, counsellors...

Abstract Waterfall Bluff is a rock shelter in eastern Pondoland, South Africa, adjacent to narrow continental shelf that limited coastline movements across glacial/interglacial cycles. The archaeological deposits are characterized by well-preserved stratigraphy, faunal, and botanical remains alongside abundant stone artifacts other materials. A comprehensive dating protocol consisting of 5 optically stimulated luminescence ages 51 accelerator mass spectrometry 14 C shows the record...
Abstract Umhlatuzana rockshelter has an occupation sequence spanning the last 70,000 years. It is one of few sites with deposits covering Middle to Later Stone Age transition (~40,000–30,000 years BP) in southern Africa. Comprehending site’s depositional history and thus important for broader understanding development Homo sapiens ’ behavior. The was first excavated 1980s by Jonathan Kaplan. He suggested that integrity late sediments compromised large-scale sediment movement. In 2018, we...
Abstract Background Phase IIb HIPRA-HH-2 study results showed that PHH-1V as first booster dose elicited a strong and sustained neutralising antibody response against various SARS-CoV-2 variants. Here, we report the safety immunogenicity of fourth most prevalent Omicron variants in Spain. Methods The open-label extension ( NCT05142553 ) evaluated subjects aged ≥18 years followed for 6 months. Subjects received 6–12 months after previous regime either two doses BNT162b2 plus third (Cohort 1)...
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene ungulate communities from the western coastal plains of South Africa's Cape Floristic Region (CFR) are diverse and dominated by grazers, in contrast to region's Holocene historical faunas, which relatively species‐poor small‐bodied browsers mixed feeders. An expansion grassy habitats is clearly implied but presence ruminant grazers that cannot survive summer dry season typical region today suggests other important paleoecological changes. Here we use dental...
