Out of Africa
Stone tools rewrite history of man as a global species
A Stone Age archaeological site in the Arabian
Peninsula has become the focus of a radical
theory of how early humans made the long
walk from their evolutionary homeland of
Africa to become a globally dispersed species,
Scientists have found a set of stone tools buried
beneath a collapsed rock shelter in the barren
hills of the United Arab Emirates that they
believe were made about 125,000 years ago by
people who had migrated out of eastern Africa
by crossing the Red Sea when sea levels were
at a record low.
‘The age of the stone tools and the fact they
appear to be like those made by anatomically
modern humans living in eastern Africa
suggests that our species, Homo sapiens, left
Africa between 30,000 and 55,000 years
earlier than previously believed. This casts
new light on how modern humans eventually
inhabited lands as far apart as Europe and
Australia. Genetic evidence had suggested
that modern humans made the main migration
from Africa between 60,000 and 70,000 years
ago, although there was always a possibility
of earlier migrations that had not got much
further than the Middle East. However, all
these movements were believed to have been
made into the Middle East by people walking
down the Nile Valley.
However, the stone tools unearthed at the Jebel
Faya site about 50 kilometres from the Persian
Gulf suggests another possible migratory route
across the Bab al-Mandab strait, a tract of open
water which separates the Red Sea from the
[Link]
Arabian Ocean and the Horn of Africa from
the Arabian Peninsula. The scientists behind
the study said that at the time of the migration,
about 125,000 years ago, sea levels would
have been low enough for people to make
the crossing on foot or with simple rafts or
watercraft. They also suggest that the waterless
Nejd plateau of southern Arabia, which would
have posed another barrier to migration, was in
fact at that time covered in lakes,
‘By 130,000 years ago, the sea level was still
about 100 metres lower than at present while
the Nejd plateau was already passable, There
was a brief period where modern humans may
have been able to use the direct route from East
Africa to Jebel Faya, said Professor Adrian
Parker of Oxford Brookes University, who was
part of the research team. Once humans had
crossed into southern Arabia, they would have
enjoyed the benefits of a land rich in wildlife
and, with little competition, the migrant
community could have quickly expanded to
become an important secondary centre for
population growth, which later migrated across
the Persian Gulf to India, and from there to the
rest of Asia, the scientists suggest.
Simon Armitage of Royal Holloway, University
of London, the Iead author of the study
published ini the journal Science, said that
discovering the dates of the stone tools was
the key piece of evidence suggesting there was
a much earlier migration out of Africa than
previously supposed. ‘Archaeology without
ages is like a jigsaw with the interlocking edges

removed — you have lots of individual pieces
of information but you can’t fit them together
to produce the big picture,’ Dr Armitage said.
‘At Jebel Faya, the ages reveal a fascinating
picture in which modern humans migrated out
of Africa much earlier than previously thought,
helped by global fluctuations in sea level and
the climate change in the Arabian Peninsula.’
The stone ‘tool kit’ found at Jebel Faya includes
relatively primitive hand axes and a collection
of stone scrapers and perforators. The scientists
say the tools resemble artefacts found in eastern
Africa and their primitive nature suggests that
Questions 1-6
migration did not depend on the invention
of more complex tools. ‘These anatomically
modern humans, like you and me, had evolved
in Africa about 200,000 years ago and
subsequently populated the rest of the world.
Our findings should stimulate a re-evaluation of
the means by which we modern humans became
a global species; Dr Armitage said.
However, not all scientist are convinced. Paul
Mellars of Cambridge University told Science:
‘I’m totally unpersuaded. There’s not a scrap of
evidence here that these were made by modern
humans, nor that they came from Africa”

The smelling test:
The genetics of olfaction
‘A. Why are some people mora sensitive to odours than others? And
why do no two people experience a scent in the same way? The
answer lies in our genes, In 2004 neuroscientists Linda Buck and
Richard Axel shared a Nobel Prize for their identification of the
genes that control smell, findings which they first published in the
early 1990s. Their work revived interest in the mysterious workings
of our noses - interest which is now generating some surprising insights, not least that each of us
inhabits our own personal olfactory world.
B_ ‘When I give talks, | always say that everybody in this room smells the world with a different set of
receptors, and therefore it smells different to everybody,’ says Andreas Keller, a geneticist working
at the Rockefeller University in New York City. He also suspects that every individual has at least
‘one odorant he or she cannot detect at all - one specific anosmia, or olfactory ‘blind spot’, which is
inherited along with his or her olfactory apparatus. The human nose contains roughly 400 olfactory
is encoded by a different
receptors, each of which responds to several odorants, and each of whic!
gene. But, unless you are dealing with identical twins, no two persons will have the same genetic
make-up for those receptors.
C The reason, according to Doron Lancet, a geneticist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, is
that those genes have been accumulating mutations over evolution. This has happened in all the great
apes, and one possible explanation is that smell has gradually become less important to survival,
having been replaced to some extent by colour vision ~ as an indicator of rotten fruit, for example, or
of a potentially venomous predator. However, every species has a different genetic ‘bar code’ and a
different combination of olfactory sensitivities.
D That genetic variability is reflected in behavioural variability, as Keller recently demonstrated when they
asked 500 people to rate 66 odours for intensity and pleasantness. The responses covered the full
range from intense to weak, and from pleasant to unpleasant, with most falling in the moderate range
~a classic bell curve in each case. The researchers also tested people's subconscious responses to
odorants, by presenting them at much weaker doses. One compound that people famously perceive
differently is androstenone, a substance that is produced in boars’ testes and is also present in some
people's sweat. ‘For about 60 per cent of people androstenone is nothing,’ says Chuck Wysocki of the
Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. ‘For 35 per cent its a very powerful stale urine smell,
and for 15 per cent its a floral, musky, woody note."
[Link] ‘TMESAVER FOR EXAMS: Practice Tests & Tis for IELTS
Scanned with CamScannerRaa Cob ale
st
E Lancet says that the genetic tools that are now available could help researchers to solve another
olfactory puzzle, too: why some people have an acute overall sensitivity to smelis than others. One
in 5,000 people is born without any sense of smell at all, while at the other end of the spectrum are
those individuals who have a higher than average general sensitivity, some of whom may gravitate
to the perfume industry. He suspects that the biological culprits in this case are not the olfactory
receptors themselves, which are responsible for specitic anosmias, but the proteins that ensure the
efficient transmission of the signals elicited by those receptors to higher processing areas in the brain
= transmission pathways that are shared by alll receptors. ‘What is fascinating to me is the idea that
we could discover a gene or genes that underlie this general sensitivity to odorants, so that we might
be able to ‘type' those professional noses and say, ‘A-ha, we now understand why you are in your
profession,’ Lancet says.
F The implications of the new research go wider than smell, however. Most of our sensation of taste
comes ftom the odorants in food stimulating our olfactory receptors. ‘The wonderful enjoyment of a
fresh tomato is practically only in the nose,’ Lancet says. Awareness of individual variation in smell
has already filtered through to the wine world, launching a debate about how valuable experts’ advice
really is, when they may be having different smell - and hence taste - experiences from other people.
The science of smell could even throw light on patterns of human disease. Thanks to Buck and Axel,
scientists now know a lot more about the genetics of olfaction, which the Nobel Prize committee may or
may not have foreseen when they bestowed their honour in 2004.

Georgia O’Keeffe’s Exhibition at the Tate Modern
An extraordinary show, long overdue
The major retrospective of Georgia OKeetfe'’s
work that opened this week at the Tate Modern
art gallery in London, UK, is a rare opportunity
for British viewers to engage with this revered
American artist. In the same season as the
opening of the Tate extension Switch House, this
exhibition illuminates the gallery's determination
to provide new readings of old favourites.
Curator Tanya Barson has spun a new tale of
Oxeetfe, showing her as a progressive artist
who was influenced by photography and not
‘merely an observational painter’. The inclusion
of photography, while interesting, again shows
a lack of confidence by the institution to let a
singular medium prevail
Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Wisconsin in
1887 and died in 1986 aged 98. She married
the great photographer Alfred Stieglitz in 1924,
who promoted O'Keeffe in both his own gallery
as well as with his extensive circle of friends.
Ironically, it was he who put forward the idea that
the flowers she famously painted were Indeed
erotic interpretations, a reading that O'Keeffe
strenuously denied through her long life.
| start with this context so we don't forget the
long history of overlooked women artists, not
that O'Keeffe was one of these. The Museum of
Modern Art in New York held a retrospective of
her work in 1946. Her red poppies appeared on
a US postage stamp, and her home in the US
state of New Mexico, now open to the public, still
attracts a pilgrimage of worshipping tourists, both
female and male. Her best-known subject matter
is the large and eye-catching flowers,
In this exhibition the paintings are arranged
roughly chronologically and embrace her time
spent in New York City following her marriage
to Steiglitz, as well as in Lake George, where
‘she spent every summer during this period. Her
New York paintings, often created from a high «
Perspective, encapsulate a city of skyscrapers
(© tiwesaven ron cams: racic Tet & Tos or ELS
bathed in a dramatic nighttime light. While
her time spent in Lake George reflects her
engagement with a verdant landscape, here she
wrote 'l feel smothered with green’.
O'Keeffe was fiercely independent and continued
to be so well into her later years. She was a
hiker, going ‘tramping’ in all weathers, visiting
and revisiting sites often remote from her home.
This pioneering spirit led to her preoccupations
with objects and views that she personally
experienced.
While O'Keetfe's paintings of closely observed
blossoms are loved by many, the room of these is
sadly not the most powerful room here, perhaps
due to loan restrictions. Some of the great floral
blooms, including the luxurious purple iris, are
not here, but there is Jimson Weed (1992). a
painting that became well-known in 2014 when it
became, at $44.4m (£34.2m), the most expensive
by a female artist ever sold at auction. Nearby
are beautifully observed stil lifes, an eggplant,
figs and an alligator pear in all their majestic
simplicity. We are told that these are a result of
O'Keeffe looking at photography. Yet this is an
artist who constantly reacted to locations with her
own eyes.
O'Keeffe discovered Ghost Ranch in New
Mexico - the property that was to become her
home ~ in 1934, finally purchasing the house in
1940. The view from the ranch of a flat-topped
tableland, became her favoured view. She painted
and repainted it, saying at one point: ‘God told
me if | painted It enough | could have it’ She also
discovered the ‘Black Place’, another location
she revisited throughout her life whilst driving
through the Navajo country, These abstract black.
hills recurred throughout her work and became:
one of the locations of seriality. Over time she
worked through different permutations while also
moving towards abstraction, the strong natural
forms reduced into powerful symbols.

seen from an airplane; her aerial shots of fluffy
clouds and the horizontality of the sky produced
from memories of her flights from New York City
to New Mexico. Again this is credited to her
husband's photographs of the sky and clouds,

Okeeffe adopted, making this painting much
