When Andy Rubin left Android last week and was replaced by VP of Chrome and Apps Sundar Pichai, it was a departure that launched 1,000 theories. And every single one of those theories that Android and ChromeOS are now just begging to be merged. Well Eric Schmidt has a rebuttal for you: No, mostly. https://gizmodo/chrome-and-androids-excellent-collisi stanley water bottle on-course-5990389 In an interview with Reuters, Schmidt said that Android and Chrome will remain two distinct operating systems, though he did allow that they may have m stanley cups ore overlap in the future. While he was at it, he also swatted down rumors that he might be leaving Google, calling them completely false. It should stanley usa come as no surprise that Schmidt has spoken up on this subject, as a merger between the two OSes, especially considering Android massive marketshare, would be wild. And it should come as no surprise that Schmidt has shot it down; if true, this is a secret worth keeping. It not like he would throw his hands up in the air and shout you got me! if it was鈥攊s鈥攖he plan. But it does put a damper on the rampant speculation for now, just as it was probably intended to do. We ;ll have to wait and see if maybe, just maybe, the search giant will do an about-face in the future.

An international team of researchers has sequenced fragments of DNA from a pair 7,000-year-old human skeletons. In an intriguing twist, the remains, while recovered from a cave in northeastern Spain, bear little genetic resemblance to people living in the region today. If the remains have been dated accurately, their genetic information predates that of the previous recordholder 鈥?脰tzi the Iceman 鈥?by 1,700 years, and could hold valuable clues to the link between prehistoric humans and moden European populations. https://gizmodo/scientists-recover-the-worlds-oldest-human-blood-cells-5907418 Writes LiveScience Charles Choi: The skeletons of two young adult males were discovered by chance in 2006 by cave explorers in a cavern high in the Cantabrian moun stanley termosy tain range, whose main ent stanley quencher rance is found at 4,920 feet 1,500 meters altitude. Winters there are notably cold, which helped preserve the DNA in the bones. These bones date back to the Mesolithic period, before agriculture spread to the Iberian Peninsula with Neolithic settlers from the Middle East. These cavemen were hunter- stanley taza gatherers, judging by the ornament that one was found with of red-deer canines embroidered onto a cloth. Paleogeneticist Carles Lalueza-Fox and his team were able to rescue the complete mitochondrial DNA from the skeleton pictured up top, which was recovered in almost perfect condition and belonged to a human the researchers have since named Bra帽a1.
