La sélection naturelle ?

Il y a lieu de se demander, si ce n'est pas une modification à la sélection naturelle que des scientifiques australiens sont en train de développer dans le domaine sportif.
À quand l'utilisation de l'ADN pour créer des individus adaptés pour être des juges olympiques, des chefs d'états....ou des idiots ???

Des épaves romaines découvertes au large de Capri

Des archéologues travaillant au large de l'île italienne de Capri ont découvert les épaves de trois navires antiques qui assuraient les liaisons entre Rome et ses colonies d'Afrique du nord.
Les épaves ont été découvertes par 130 mètres de fond dans le Golfe de Naples, selon la chaîne privée Canale 5, qui a diffusé des images sous-marines vendredi, montrant notamment les piles d'amphores utilisées par les Romains pour transporter les denrées périssables. Associated Press (AP)

Artifact looting ruins Cambodia's archaeology sites

At a bustling market in the capital city, Cambodia's heritage is being sold off: ancient beads are snapped up at two for US$1, while US$15 buys a 3,500-year-old stone tool.

Sales of such antiquities are booming at markets across the kingdom, robbing it of a rich history archaeologists are only beginning to study after decades of conflict ended here in 1998.

Ceramic pots and bronze bracelets may seem innocuous spoils compared with the stunning statuary prized by "tomb raiders," but their theft from underground sites means Cambodia's prehistory is being irretrievably lost, experts say.

"Most archaeologists are not really interested in finding a giant statue of Buddha or a single magnificent artefact. We're interested in spatial context," says Kyle Latinis, a US archaeologist specializing in Southeast Asia.

For items such as humble beads or tools to be useful to historians, they must be studied and assessed while still in the ground.
