While most of our DNA resides within the nucleus of the cell, some of our genetic code is stored inside mitochondria, the so-called 'powerhouse of the cell'. The conventional view is this mitochondrial DNA (or mtDNA) is only inherited from mothers, but new evidence suggests that's not the case at all.

Interesting article about the development of one of the first gene therapy drugs for a very rare genetic disorder. The drug was extremely effective with one treatment curing the disorder for a lifetime. Unfortunately the drug company decided to price that one treatment at $1,000,000. Consequently insurance companies and national health care services balked and the drug is no longer available.by Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
When I worked in Indonesia we had geckos . They were harmless and would eat any mosquitos that got into the room. Once we got computers on the rigs the geckos did become a problem. They would crawl inside the printers and eventually make contact with the high voltage and blow the fuse.by Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
The real question is when did it happen. "Regardless of its exact age, based on the size of the Hiawatha impact crater, this impact very likely had significant environmental consequences in the Northern Hemisphere and possibly globally (35)." Could this be the missing evidence for the 'Clovis Comet' hypothesis?by Allan Shumaker - Laboratory

This is an interesting article on Viking tar production. Somewhere around 130 gallons of tar was required to coat the hull of an average longship and certainly additional patching was required whenever the ship made landfall. This article concentrates on refining the tar from pine sap, however Farley Mowat documented stoves on the coast of North America which were presumably used to cook seal bby Allan Shumaker - Ancient History
"The audit has exposed the dishonesty in this entire scheme and it appears to be directed at the goal of reducing the population. Anomalies it has identified include at St Kitts in the Caribbean, the average temperature for December 1981 was zero degrees, normally it’s 26C. For three months in 1978, one place in Colombia reported an 82 degrees Celsius average – hotter than the hottest daby Allan Shumaker - Laboratory

Back in his early years George Carter recovered artifacts from Texas Street and other sites in southern California. He showed these samples to other archeologists without telling them the location or other details of the provenance to get their reaction. Quickly the word spread and archeologists coined the term "Carterfacts".by Allan Shumaker - Laboratory

Over the last few years several documentaries on Nazi advanced weapons have been produced. One of the more interesting is where National Geographic documented Northrup Grumman engineers replicating the Horton 229 to test the radar profile. Another interesting documentary partially based on captured Soviet documents claims that the Nazis actually tested a small atomic bomb but apparently deciby Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
It is certainly curious that information from WW II would still be classified 70 years later. While I was reading about the Ho 229 it was curious that the Horton brothers were not present for the test flights of the prototypes beginning in February 1945. The design had been turned over to German aircraft manufacturers and they had been assigned to the 'America bomber' project. One arby Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
Anyone interested in history of the Manhattan Project should read Roger H Werner's reply regarding the surrender of U-234 and the source of the enriched uranium that was used in Little Boy. (It is down below the submarine article.) Both Germany and Japan had nuclear weapon programs but there is much debate on how far they had progressed.by Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
For some reason I have started receiving spam emails from Quora. Most are immediately deleted but this one had an interesting article on German submarines during WW II. "Note that a German soldier fighting from the beginning of the war had about a 70 percent chance of surviving the war while the average U-boat sailor had a 10 percent chance of surviving a single three month patrol by theby Allan Shumaker - Coffee Shop
I would suggest you check pages 417 to 422 of Pendejo Cave edited by Richard S. MacNeish & Jane G. Libby. There is no mention of "a piece of a clay pot". There were 16 clay nodules recovered from the excavation which had friction-skin imprints, a few with sweat pore imprints. There has been speculation that the clay was used to line hearths inside the cave and had been heated to betby Allan Shumaker - Laboratory

I have always suspected that neolithic hunter gatherers attempted fox domestication but were unsuccessful. Here is an old thread from 7 years ago. Most of the links don't work anymore but the NatGeo still does.by Allan Shumaker - Ancient History
Dillehay has not given up on Monte Verde I. John Hawks has some excerpts from Dillehay's 2015 paper. The oldest date mentioned is 18,500 cal PB. link to the paper on PLOS at the bottom of the article. Don't ignore Hawks speculation on a 'ghost population'.by Allan Shumaker - Laboratory
