Structural demographic theory and the United States

Unrecognized potential number 6 in GetPot A rather silly error in Gaussian, but one that seems to be common and to which I haven’t found any posted solutions, so here goes mine.

There’s a cave in Ethiopia, in an area called Dikika. At some point, around 3.4 million years ago, an early hominin made some incisions on an animal carcass, leaving some notches on a bone as the makeshift knife cut past the muscle and sinew into the bone, tell-tale kerf marks that speak of the first time one of our ancestors used a tool. ¹ What happened in that cave changed everything for our species. ¹ McPherron, S.

Appalachian History A store that anchored a town When Pocahontas Fuel Company built out its Boissevain operation in Tazewell County, it gave the camp a brick centerpiece that was part supermarket, part office, and part civic hall.

International mobility has long been framed as a hallmark of academic success. A postdoctoral stint in Europe, a fellowship in North America, or an exchange program in Asia is often seen as both a professional milestone and a rite of passage. The benefits are undeniable: exposure to cutting-edge facilities, immersion in new scientific cultures, and access to broader collaboration networks.
