The Sound Of Settled Science

Research risks ruining a treasured leftist slur;

Neanderthals possessed the capacity to hear, process and produce human speech, according to a new survey combining CT scans and computer models.
 
For the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers used computed tomography scans to build 3D models of the ear structures in Neanderthals, Homo sapiens and Neanderthal relatives unearthed at Atapuerca, an archaeological site in Spain.

My friends, it’s time to talk reparations.

The 300

Jonathan Kay;

For years now, progressives have been warning that neo-fascism represents a growing cancer within Canada. Since the riot at the Capitol, in particular, the Toronto Star has instructed us that “white supremacy” — not just everyday racism, but the real deal — is now an overt presence in public life. The NDP has jumped on board hard as well. Under the banner, “Take Action: Dismantle White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi Groups in Canada,” Jagmeet Singh’s party informs us that “there are 300 active far-right extremist groups operating across the country.”
 
Think about that. We’ve all heard of the Proud Boys (which many MPs want classified as a terrorist group), and nuts like Paul Fromm. And the 2018 Public Report on the Terrorism Threat to Canada identified right-wing extremism driven by “white nationalism” as a major threat, rightly singling out Alexandre Bissonette’s horrific Quebec City rampage for special condemnation. But *300*? Wow.

White Privilege

Motive “unclear”.

New York City police are looking for a dozen suspects in connection with a violent attack on a 26-year-old man who was beaten, cut with a sharp object and had his clothing removed.
 
A group of males and females assaulted the victim at about 11:30 a.m. Friday near Canal and Allen streets in Manhattan, city police said. The motive isn’t clear.
 
Police said Saturday that the attackers took the man’s cell phone and removed his pants, underwear and shoes. They also cut him with a sharp object. The suspects fled the scene in multiple vehicles, police said.
