When President Donald Trump sat between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan last week, few people realized the significance of the meeting and the months of negotiations that took place beforehand to get two hostile nations to come together at the White House.

Researchers in Ethiopia recently made a significant discovery, having unearthed fossilized teeth from an ancient human species that was previously unknown in the evolutionary history of humans.

Titus was joined by an expert panel that broke down the potential consequences of the rule. Adam Robinson of American Bettors’ Voice called the cap “fundamentally a fairness issue,” warning that it effectively taxes players on “phantom income.” He stressed that livelihoods could be at risk if professional players are taxed on more than they actually earn. Becky Harris, a gaming policy expert at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Russell Fox, a tax specialist at Clayton Financial, echoed the concerns. Fox went so far as to call the change “stupid,” arguing it could push gamblers into tax brackets above their actual income and threaten the market for high-stakes bettors—often known as “whales”—who play a key role in sportsbook revenue.

The debate over whether social media is good or bad for teenagers' mental health is top of mind, especially with the school year just starting in Clark County.

A UNLV survey from the Center of Business and Economic Research is highlighting significant challenges faced by Nevada's long-term unemployed as they attempt to re-enter the workforce in 2024.

A new survey sheds some light on the people behind Nevada’s elevated unemployment rate, which has consistently remained higher than all other states and higher than prepandemic levels. The Center for Business and Economic Research at UNLV surveyed more than 300 Nevadans who self-identified as unemployed and seeking a job. The results, released this week, suggest there are disconnects between the jobs people desire, the ones they are qualified for, and what’s actually available.

Researchers have unearthed tooth fossils in Ethiopia dating to about 2.65 million years ago of a previously unknown species in the human evolutionary lineage, one that lived in the same time and place as the earliest-known member of the genus Homo to which our own species belongs.

New hominin fossils recovered from the Ledi-Geraru Research Project area in the Afar region of Ethiopia suggest the presence of early Homo at 2.78 and 2.59 million years ago and a previously unknown species of Australopithecus at 2.63 million years ago.

Fossilized teeth discovered in Ethiopia have revealed a new-to-science species of Australopithecus, a genus of early hominins that lived from the Pliocene to the Early Pleistocene. Not only does it add to our busy human family tree, but the discovery proves they were living alongside the oldest specimens of Homo, the genus of early humans that includes our species, Homo sapiens.
