East Asia was hit by another coronavirus epidemic 20,000 years ago, new study shows – CNN

A team of researchers from Australia and the United States has found evidence of a coronavirus epidemic that broke out more than 20,000 years ago in East Asia, according to a study published in the Current Biology scientific journal on Thursday. In the study, the researchers studied the genomes of more than 2,500 people from 26 different populations around the world. They pinpointed the earliest interaction of the human genome with coronaviruses, which left genetic imprints on the DNA of modern-day people in East Asia. The genomes they studied contain evolutionary information about humans tracing back hundreds of thousands of years, said lead author Yassine Souilmi -- information we've only learned to decode in recent years. Viruses work by making copies of themselves. However, they don't ...

Britney Spears ex Kevin Federline wants her to be ‘happy, healthy’ amid conservatorship battle, attorney says – Fox News

Kevin Federline is sending nothing but positive vibes to his ex-wife Britney Spears, whom he was married to from 2004 to 2007. In years past, the former dancer was known in pop culture circles as "K-Fed" and even saw his last name turned into a verb – called getting "Federlined" – for the victory many believe he claimed in his divorce from Spears. Federline was granted sole custody of the ex-couple's two sons: Sean, 15, and Jayden, 14. The contentious era of those dog days is seemingly behind the former reality star as his lawyer now says Federline simply wants Spears to be "happy and healthy" as she seeks a dissolution of the conservatorship that has been held above her for the last 13 years. "What is best for her, Kevin supports her in being able to do that," Federline’s attorney Ma...
