The Roman Empire needed wood for building and burning. Tree-ring analysis of over 20,000 samples reveals how Roman expansion drove intensive logging across Central-Western Europe, eventually leading to overexploitation of old-growth forests. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/tWR150XAhVA

Opie and Atkinson conduct a global phylogenetic analysis of 868 cultures and find evidence indicating that cereal grain cultivation, not agricultural surplus, drove state formation. Their findings also link taxation and writing to state emergence.

Medieval agricultural and trade practices in southwestern Germany boosted plant diversity for centuries, with biodiversity peaking around 1000 CE and declining only when human activity contracted during the Black Death. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Q6ca50XxIvC

Choose your own (research) adventure.
My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
A choose-your-own-adventure, cartoon composed of nine, numbered panels. Panel 1 reads: What do you want to research? Free will, go to 8. Telepathic Twins, Go to 2. New flavours of ice cream, go to 3. Playing chess with robots, go to 5. Commuter jetpacks, go to 4. However, whatever you chose you will eventually be forced to choose 'Free Will' and end up at panel 9, which reads: Your paper is rapturously received and you are rewarded with a huge grant! Go to 1.
