Ancient Mesoamericans Mastered Fishing Techniques Sooner Than Believed

Archaeologists have collected data which indicates the presence of a large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facility. Discovered in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (CTWS), the largest inland wetland in Belize, the team dated the construction of these fisheries to the Late Archaic period (cal. 2000-1900 BCE), pre-dating Amazonian examples by a thousand years or more.

Ingenious Gene Drive Reverses Insecticide Resistance in Pests, Then Vanishes!

Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears from the insect population. Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time
