Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals
"Perhaps getting Neanderthal DNA was part of the success because it gave us better adaptive capabilities outside of Africa," said Prof Stringer. "We had evolved in Africa, whereas the Neanderthals had evolved outside of Africa."
"By interbreeding with the Neanderthals we got a quick fix to our immune systems."
We could also say that by interbreeding with Homo sapiens we were all better able to survive the environmental challenges of the time. Try saying that by the Europeans interbreeding with people of Asian or African descent we helped them survive. Surely they are ALL our grandparents and great grandparents! This reeks of racism.

A new DNA analysis has shown that the arrival of modern humans from Africa was far from smooth.Pallab Ghosh (BBC News)

Fashion History: Feed Sack Fashion
Because we're talking about history here, all sewing history moment blog posts will be written based on research from scholarly sources, such as peer-reviewed articles, books, journals, etc. I will always list the sources I used in a bibliography at the bottom of the post, in case you want to do some further reading!
Without further ado, our first sewing history moment will be focusing on an innovative and resourceful way in which 20th-century North American women outfitted their families- sewing garments out of flour and feed sacks...

A fascinating example that bucks the usual trend that once something becomes affordable, it is no longer deemed desirable.
For example, gelatin molds were considered high cuisine when only the moneyed class could afford it. After Jell-O made it affordable to everyone, it transitioned from high cuisine to dated kitch.
But here? Feed sack fashion culturally transitioned the other way - from an embarrassing necessity to try and hide to becoming a sign of resourcefulness.
This shows that it's possible to make a philosophy of "nothing goes to waste" culturally fashionable. And if something is fashionable, manufacturers may cater to that demand.
