Blood test could gauge if a baby has a dangerous infection in 15 minutes | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A blood test could determine whether a feverish baby has a bacterial or viral infection in 15 to 20 minutes. This would help doctors gauge whether the infection is serious or may pass without treatment, which could prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics. When babies are brought into hospital with fever, they “are considered high-risk until proven otherwise”, says Tommaso Bellini at the Giannina Gaslini Institute in Genoa, Italy. Severe meningitis outbreak caused by bacteria that took genes from
Why our common ancestor with chimpanzees keeps getting further away | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is an extract from Our Human Story, our newsletter about the revolution in archaeology. Sign up to receive it in your inbox every month. Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are our closest living relatives. Of all the millions of other animals on Earth, they are the ones that are most like us. And the more we learn about chimpanzee behaviour, the more obvious the similarities become. For instance, wild chimpanzees peer at each other: one chimpanzee will sit close to another and closely watch w
New Scientist recommends a fascinating deep dive into the real Vikings | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Sea-King and the SorceressNeil Price, Allen Lane (UK)Basic Books (US), out 13 October The first thing to understand about the Vikings is that the people we label Vikings never called themselves by that name; it wasn’t their ethnic identity in the way “Roman” or “Puerto Rican” has been. The Old Norse word víkingr probably meant something like “pirate”, explains Neil Price on page 2 of his richly informative new book, The Sea-King and the Sorceress: Life and death in the Viking Age. It describ
Denisovan tools from cave in China show how mysterious humans lived | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A group of enigmatic ancient humans called the Denisovans thrived in what is now south-west China for more than 100,000 years. They lived in a conifer forest and hunted large animals like deer. It is the first evidence of Denisovans in this region, and one of the only known sites with artefacts that can tell us about how they lived. For the first time, “we can know their technology and know their subsistence strategy”, says Hao Li, an archaeologist at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research in
Risk of dementia could be halved with use of metformin | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The type 2 diabetes drug metformin may reduce the risk of dementia. A randomised study that followed people for more than 20 years found that it seems to halve the risk of developing the condition. This offers “the available best evidence, short of a long-term randomised clinical trial, that metformin may decrease the risk of dementia”, says José Luchsinger at Columbia University in New York. However, the finding isn’t conclusive and the potential mechanism behind it is unclear. Specific cogniti
