By replicating temperature and pressure levels of the earth’s upper mantle, an international research group let hydrogen and diamonds react generating methane as a result. This finding may prove to be key in our understanding of the deep carbon cycle which is fundamental to life on our planet
Throughout their pre-Columbian history, indigenous peoples of Mexico have evolved different genetic adaptations in response to environmental and cultural conditions that have subsequently been radically altered by European colonisation and current global change. Some of these adaptations now affect their susceptibility or resistance to various diseases
