The present investigation aims to analyze the most recent scientific evidence of the effect of bystander CPR on survival after an OHCA. A systematic literature reviewwas carried...

Domesticated species are—and have been—fundamental to the growth and economic success of human societies. Millennia of herding and agricultural intensification have caused irreversible changes to natural environments, while the ability to accrue a...
The domestication of plants and animals permitted the development of cities and social hierarchies, as well as fostering cultural changes that ultimately led humanity into the modern world. Despite the importance of this set of related evolutionary phenomena, scholars have not reached a consensus on what the earliest steps in the domestication process looked like, how long the seminal portions of the process to...
The Northern Highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea (NHE) were a centre for food production in Africa, hosting one of the earliest agriculture-based complex societies on the continent. The NHE's geographical connections with the Arabian Peninsula, and Nilotic cultures led to the cultivation of southwest Asian crops and African native domesticates in its territory. Additionally, the NHE were also the domestication ce...
