CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Earlier this week, Cape County Archives Director Marybeth Niedierkorn put together an index of enslaved people in Southeast Missouri.
“The narratives mentioned in here have a lot of information about people who were enslaved by the county.”
Niedierkorn said the index was created to make it easier to cross-reference other documents at the archive center.
This need was called to her attention by researchers who were looking for people who was mentioned in these narratives.

In fact, it is this same Y signal that has now been detected in the Chotuna, the Guaraní Kaiowá, and the Xavánte. So the new study confirms the 2015 study, but it also expands on it in important ways. Our results showed that the Australasian genetic signal, previously described as exclusive to Amazonian groups, was also identified in the Pacific coastal population, pointing to a more widespread signal distribution within South America, and possibly implicating an ancient contact between Pacific and Amazonian dwellers, the researchers wrote in an article appearing in the most recent edition of
PNAS.

After 400,000 years of roaming Europe and Asia, Neanderthals disappeared. Why this happened is a contentious topic amongst experts. It is possible that our ancestors may have directly or indirectly contributed to this extinction, but the extent of our role remains to be determined.
Our distant cousins, the Neanderthals, lived for around 400,000 years in Europe and some parts of Asia. From 80,000 years ago, their populations began to decrease, and, eventually, they disappeared 50,000 years later.
Our species,
Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago. Around the time that the Neanderthal populations were decreasing,
H. sapiens began leaving the African continent and populating Asia and Europe.

Polynesian navigators, America s Cup and inspiring kids with stories of their ancestors.
Sir Ian Taylor s new project that teaches kids about Polynesian voyagers migration across the Pacific Ocean thousands of years ago is personal.
