I call this a win-win. The Pentagon loses access to some of the best and brightest minds, and the universities learn not to take money from a fickle, political body. It sucks for the people who had research depending on this funding, but with the exception of the 2 schools in blood-red Oklahoma these schools were all in blue states on Trump’s shit list, they probably saw it coming.

I don’t like this headline. A human from 60,000 years ago would be anatomically identical to a modern human, brain included, so of course they mind would be able to produce sophisticated ideas. A better headline would have been about there are few examples of abstract mathematics from that long ago.
I’d say he looks like a live-action version of Beaker from the Muppets, but I would never slander Beaker like that.
