Our excavation at Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas, Mexico, produced evidence that humans arrived to the Americas as early as 32,000 year ago, doubling the...
Currently available models underestimate global food waste. We developed a new method to estimate how much food is wasted at a country level. Comparison with...
