There's no shortage of reasons to stay off the Meta ecosystem, which includes Facebook and Instagram, but there are some places where WhatsApp remains the main form of text-based communication.

Even though Facebook, which later rebranded to Meta, acquired WhatsApp in 2014, it doesn't require

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

news.ycombinator.com Scott Sayare 2025-09-24 00:50:08

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud
