🔬 Ancient Footprints, Gut Bacteria Turning On You & The Math That Proves Fair Elections Are Impossible

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

A landmark study across 11 Latin American countries reveals a lifestyle intervention that boosted cognitive performance by 55% in adults at risk of dementia — and that's just the beginning. New research identifies a previously unrecognized biological phase in the human brain between ages 50 and 75 that could be critical to understanding how dementia develops. Scientists also discovered that when gut bacteria run out of fiber, some species may begin consuming the protective lining of your intestines, with serious implications for inflammation and gut health. Meanwhile, paleontologists uncovered 1.4-million-year-old footprints in Kenya hinting at surprisingly modern human relatives who may have traveled in all-male groups. And mathematicians have formally proven what political scientists have long feared — truly fair elections are an mathematical impossibility once enough parties are involved.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
