The Las Vegas of the 50’s was a very different place than the Las Vegas we know today. When Benny Binion arrived in Nevada, casinos had a much rougher look and feel about them – and so did Las Vegas. But Binion saw beneath the sawdust on the floors to recognize a diamond in the rough.

The human family tree is looking more and more like an unruly bush. Paleontologists have now uncovered the teeth of two different ancient human lineages at the same site in northeastern Ethiopia. The discovery collapses the distance between the first of our genus and the last of the australopithecines in eastern Africa.

A report ranked Nevada as having the most foreclosure filings in the country, generating concerns that homeowners are falling behind on their mortgage payments.

Fossil teeth unearthed in Ethiopia suggest two distinct human ancestor species lived alongside each other between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago, reshaping what is known about our evolution.

UNLV’s Center for Research, Evaluation and Assessment is conducting the poll. Bradley Marianno, the center’s director, said last week that attorneys have been enthusiastic about participating. Hundreds have already responded.

Matcha is a finely ground powder of green tea leaves with a high caffeine content, while hojicha is a roasted green tea with less caffeine. While both offer health benefits, matcha may contain more energy-boosting compounds and antioxidants.

A new study in Nature described 13 fossilized teeth from Ethiopia’s Ledi-Geraru site that belonged to both a primitive Homo and an unknown species of Australopithecus. The paper detailed teeth dated between 2.8 and 2.6 million years ago and added evidence that at least two early hominin lineages coexisted in the same region around 2.6 million years ago.

Scientists in Ethiopia unearthed pieces of 2.65 million-year-old fossilized teeth belonging to two members of a newly discovered Homo species that could challenge previously accepted understandings of human evolution.

Our guests discuss the biggest labor story of the preceding week and the labor story everyone should be talking about over the next two weeks.
