Archaeologists find ancient matrilineal society in Turkiye’s Catalhoyuk
Archaeologists find ancient matrilineal society in Turkiye’s Catalhoyuk About 9,000 years ago, the Neolithic settlement of Catalhoyuk was an egalitarian, matrilineal society with no evidence of organised violence. Catalhoyuk, Turkiye – About an hour southeast of Konya lies one of the most exciting Neolithic finds of the 20th century – the densely populated settlement of Catalhoyuk. Occupied for 1,000 years from about 7000 to 6000 BC, Catalhoyuk has drawn archaeologists since its discovery in...
Bachelors vs families: Who is the ‘ideal resident’? Inside India's housing society divide
“If you're a bachelor/young couple with kids, as much as possible, avoid high rises” A software engineer's recent words in a viral social media post warning bachelors and young couples against living in high-rise societies reignited a debate that has simmered in Indian cities for years. The post, which criticised resident welfare associations (RWAs) for being intrusive and overly controlling, struck a chord with thousands of young urban residents who shared similar experiences of visitor...
Q&A: Most biology education guidelines lack any connection to society, researchers explain why that's a problem
Q&A: Most biology education guidelines lack any connection to society, researchers explain why that's a problem Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Is it a doctor's job to get the best outcomes for their patients or to tell the truth? What happens when these two things are not aligned? These are questions that University of Washington students have to wrangle with in Biol 180: Introductory Biology.
Headless skeletons offer new insights into farming societies 7,000 years ago
Headless skeletons offer new insights into farming societies 7,000 years ago Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Dozens of human skeletons, lying apparently randomly on and next to each other, with their skulls missing, present a terrifying sight at first glance. Since 2022, this is what researchers have been excavating in a 7,000-year-old settlement near the present-day town of Vráble in Slovakia. Are the headless skeletons the remains of a Neolithic massacre,...
Agentopia: Long-Term Life Simulation and Learning in Agent Societies
arXiv:2606.07513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans learn from social life. Simulating this process with LLM-powered agents represents a promising research direction, raising a natural question: whether LLMs can learn from such simulated social experience to better understand and replicate human behavior. However, prior agent society simulations typically operate at the scale of days, limiting the depth of social interactions and long-term growth.
Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society
Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A joint research team has discovered high-performance catalysts capable of significantly reducing "boil-off losses," which had been a longstanding issue in liquid hydrogen storage and transportation. These composite catalysts, in which metallic nanoparticles, such as iron, are supported on silicon dioxide (silica) or other...
Fisher with a mission: first woman to chair grayling society wants to protect ‘lady of the stream’
Marnie Lovejoy hopes to inspire other women to fish, protect England’s rivers and lift up the ‘beautiful’ graylingWith its iridescent pink scales and elegant dorsal fin, the grayling is known to anglers as the “lady of the stream”, yet the society fighting for its protection has never been led by a woman, until now. Angling, and fly-fishing in particular, has always been a very male-dominated sport. The fly-fisher’s club in Mayfair, London, where anglers meet to lunch on dover sole and drink...

Large Language Models Hack Rewards, and Society
Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant post-training paradigm, enabling large language models (LLMs) to learn from rewards. We observe that societal regulations are structurally similar to reward functions. They define measurable outcomes, thresholds, and exceptions, while often leaving institutional intent only partially specified.
