Mallorca 1820: X‑raying Europe’s last major plague epidemic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That summer must have been terrifying: between May and October, one in three residents in the area died of plague. Now a study of papers from 200 years ago recounts how Europe’s last major plague epidemic unfolded — the one that struck Mallorca in 1820. From newly discovered daily reports of the infected and the dead, researchers were able to calculate its extreme lethality and to conclude that the specific form was not bubonic, but pneumonic. The records also show how, in the absence of antibio
Temperate forests that once vanished over millennia are now disappearing in decades (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere has reached 600 parts per million (ppm). At first, it is a boon for plants: the greater availability of carbon dioxide (their food source) supercharges trees, which grow and grow without restraint. But that concentration of greenhouse gases continues to warm the planet. The atmosphere loses more and more moisture and must draw water from leaves, stems and trunks. Plant mortality increases dramatically, and forests begin to thin out. As
Two 500-year-old mummies confirm Europeans brought smallpox to the Americas: ‘It came from the Old World’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A woman in her thirties and a young man of about 20 died of smallpox in the first decades of Spanish colonization of the Americas. Exhumed decades ago from an Inca cultural site in northern Chile, DNA from the Variola virus has now been found in their remains. This constitutes the oldest evidence of the virus’s presence on American soil. The authors of the discovery, whose findings are published in the journal Science, also show that this lineage had already stopped losing genes. In other words,
Were the dinosaurs incinerated in a matter of hours? The meteorite created a layer of dust that turned the planet into a grill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dinosaurs, which dominated the planet for tens of millions of years, may have perished in a matter of hours. The asteroid impact about 66 million years ago turned Earth into an inferno within its first day. But specialists who study the cataclysm disagree about what happened next. For some, the energy released by the strike triggered a chain of global catastrophes (widespread fires, megatsunamis...) that wiped out most terrestrial life. For others, the atmosphere filled with dust that blocked su
The collapse of the ‘Tower of Babel’: Humans have lost thousands of languages since antiquity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tower of Babel described in Genesis may have been built not in Babylon, as the biblical account states, but in New Guinea. In the western part of the island, Papua New Guinea, located north of Australia, about 840 languages are spoken despite a population of barely 12 million. By comparison, Europeans — 745 million people — speak a quarter of that number of languages. Such linguistic diversity is exceptional in today’s world, but it wasn’t in the past: a study published in Science shows how
