Did lead (#Pb) limit #brain and #language #development in #Neanderthals
and other extinct hominids?
Ancient human relatives were exposed to lead up to two million years ago, according to a new study. However, a #gene #mutation may have protected modern human brains, allowing language to flourish.

The #feverfly #Dilophus #febrilis (#Bibionidae) prefers forest edges and hedgerow habitats in #Europe; here visiting #Solidago gigantea (Asteraceae) in #Berlin in #September. S. Falk & J. McCulloch (2025) sequenced the species as part of the Darwin #TreeofLife Consortium. The #genome comprises 305.60 #megabases, mostly scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. #Biodiversity
