Neanderthals may not have been that different from us, after all.New evidence reveals that they created the world's oldest known cave paintings and even wore seashells as body ornaments. Both behaviors suggest that they thought symbolically and had an artistic sensibility like modern humans. Two studies published Thursday in the journal Science detail the latest findings."Undoubtedly it is showing that Neanderthals were thinking and behaving just like modern humans," Alistair Pike, co-author of the studies and professor of archaeological sciences at the University of Southampton, wrote in an email."We should no longer think of them as a different species, just humans in different places," he said.The new findings of symbolic thinking show that Neanderthals and modern humans were cognitively indistinguishable, the researchers said.Cave paintings and artifacts like painted seashells have long been regarded as the work of early modern humans, who were thought to have more advanced cognitive abilities than Neanderthals. Dating cave paintings can be a difficult process, and unreliable techniques never allowed for the possibility that these could be the work of Neanderthals.Until now, that is. A new technique called Uranium-Thorium dating is less destructive, is more accurate and can go back further in time than other methods. U-Th dating looks at the deposits of carbonate on top of the paint, which contain traces of uranium and thorium that indicate when those deposits formed. That allows the researchers to determine an age for what's under the deposits.The researchers applied this technique to paintings in the La Pasiega, Maltravieso and Ardales caves in Spain, which had never received "robust" dating. The paintings include red and black images of animals, dots, lines, disks and other geometric signs. There also are engravings, hand prints and hand stencils.Those hand stencils are particularly significant, and not just because they represent the hand size of a Neanderthal."A red line, a red dot or even a positive hand print could potentially be made 'accidentally,' " wrote Dirk Hoffmann, lead author of the studies and archaeologist with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in an email."Of course, I am sure that this is not the case, since you would still need to bring [in] light and pigment, but one could argue that all you need is some pigment on your hand when you lean against a wall. A hand stencil cannot be explained like that. You have to hold your hand against the wall and the deliberately spray pigment over this. This is why we emphasize the hand stencil."The dating revealed that the cave art was created more than 64,000 years ago -- 20,000 years before modern humans appeared in what is now considered Europe.The shells were found in the Cueva de los Aviones, a sea cave in southeastern Spain. They are unique because they are perforated with holes and colored with red and yellow pigment. Others served as containers for the mineral pigments themselves. The pigments were used on the shells but could have also been used for the cave paintings and even as body paint.The deposit layer containing the shells dated to 115,000 years ago, which is even older than other shells recovered in Africa that were dated to modern humans."The standard archaeological interpretation of such finds is that they are body ornaments," Hoffmann said. "Similar finds were made in Africa or the Levant with similar age. In Africa or the Levant, these were made by modern humans, in Spain Neanderthals made them. So in terms of symbolism, early modern humans and Neanderthals were similar."The researchers are absolutely confident in their dating technique."We have spent 10 years refining the technique and have numerous quality controls," Pike said. "The dates respect the growth axis of the deposits we are dating, the oldest closest to the painting, the youngest at the surface."Once modern humans left Africa and migrated to Europe and other areas, mixing with the Neanderthals would've been inevitable. The researchers believe that the Neanderthals created this artwork on their own, without being influenced by any other population. But it's possible that they exchanged symbolism or that Neanderthals influenced the art and symbolism of modern humans. Modern humans were capable of symbolic behavior, so it "turns the who's copying who debate on its head," Pike said."The idea that culture only evolved with modern humans no longer makes sense," Pike said. Hoffmann suggested that Neanderthals now be referred to as "very close cousins" of modern humans.Is it possible that anyone else may have created the cave paintings?Pike said it is incredibly doubtful that a population of early modern humans migrated to Europe so early without any other evidence to suggest it."We cannot of course rule out that pre-Neanderthal populations made the art," Pike said. "This sounds like a project for the future."Hoffmann, Pike and their colleagues want to use their new dating technique in more caves in Spain, as well as France and Italy -- and anywhere else Neanderthals are known to lived.The findings also raise new questions for researchers."How far back does symbolic behavior go? Can it be traced to the last common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals? This is perhaps where we should be looking," Pike said. 5398

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The contest for the year's best country songs happens Wednesday night at the 2018 Country Music Association Awards.The two categories — song of the year and single of the year — look similar with three songs nominated in both, but the writers behind the hits say these awards are hard to predict.Nominees include a monster pop song that went country, country songs that went pop, a message song for the #MeToo era and, of course, drinking songs.Song of the year is awarded to songwriters, while single of the year goes to the artist, producer and mixing engineer.The CMA Awards will air live from Nashville Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC10. Here's a look at the single and song of the year nominees.______"Drowns the Whiskey" by Jason Aldean featuring Miranda Lambert, nominated for single and song of the year:This song was originally pitched for country singer Tyler Farr, explains Josh Thompson, who co-wrote the song with Brandon Kinney and Jeff Middleton. When it didn't make Farr's album, Aldean grabbed it and turned it into a No. 1 hit.The three writers were on the road in 2013 when they wrote it, staying up until 4:30 in the morning while drinking whiskey to finish it, Thompson said."I am huge believer in the idea that you've got to get in the character of your song," he said.Thompson said the twist on a whiskey song and the opening line make it unique, but the production and turning it into a duet made the song sound like a new classic."It feels modern and timeless at the same time and the smoky Miranda notes in there just send it through the roof," he said.______"Broken Halos" by Chris Stapleton, nominated for single and song of the year:Mike Henderson has written with Stapleton for years, long before they were both in the bluegrass band The Steeldrivers and way before Stapleton broke out with his 2015 solo debut, "Traveller.""I was reading Keith Richards' biography and he had a chapter called 'Broken Halos,' and as soon I saw it, I was like, 'Whoa, song title," Henderson said.The track won the best country song Grammy earlier this year, making it a strong contender in both CMA categories, and the emotional way Stapleton sings the song makes it a fan favorite."We've had a lot of folks say that the song had a really special meaning for them — people that have lost a loved one, who had been through some personal tragedy," Henderson said. "It does seem to touch people, which as a songwriter, you're trying to do."______"Tequila" by Dan + Shay, nominated for single and song of the year:Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney genuinely love tequila. They drink it on tour and at home, but the duo wasn't really looking for party song about getting drunk."So we flipped that," said Smyers. "Tequila was basically the trigger that took you back to a certain place, so it's a nostalgic heartbreak song, which is kind of Dan + Shay's wheelhouse."The song, co-written with Nicolle Galyon and Jordan Reynolds, crossed from country to pop radio, even peaking at No. 21 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Smyers said he's sees the crossover success as an advantage in building fans among people who don't traditionally listen to country music."This could be their gateway into country," Smyers said. "They hear that song and say, 'I love that,' and flip over to the country station."______"Meant to Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, nominated for single of the year:It's the song that has dominated country music for all of 2018. The inescapable, record-breaking monster hit has surpassed 1 billion streams, achieved four-times platinum status and reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart.Songwriter David Garcia wrote the song in Los Angeles with Rexha, FGL's Tyler Hubbard and songwriter Josh Miller and it was originally released on Rexha's 2017 EP, "All Your Fault: Pt. 2.""There is a little more merging of L.A. and Nashville now more than ever," Garcia said.Garcia said while he'd love to see the song win, he's not putting any bets down. He attributes the song's success in part to Rexha's huge streaming popularity.But it's also a polarizing contender with many arguing it's not a true country song and its crossover success could turn off some more traditionally-minded CMA voters.Garcia said he doesn't concern himself with those critics."I believe we're in an amazing place where the fans and the listeners decide what their favorite songs are," he said. "I think the song is undeniable in what it is."______"Body Like a Back Road" by Sam Hunt, nominated for song of the year, and "Drinkin' Problem" by Midland, nominated for single of the year:Both songs were created in part by the songwriting-producing power duo Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, but they are on different spectrums of the genre.Sam Hunt's 2017 hit crossed to pop and became a five-times platinum success with a catchy, finger-snapping rhythm. But even McAnally admits to being a bit surprised about seeing it pop up on the nominee list again after it lost last year in the same category ("Better Man," written by Taylor Swift for Little Big Town, won the prize).Even though it was not released in the eligibility period, Hunt's song made the second ballot because it remained a Top 5 country single. The fact that "Body Like a Back Road" hasn't won any CMA Awards, despite being nominated three times, suggests that pop crossovers might not be the key factor to winning."There's a five-way race for this one," McAnally said of the song of the year category. "There's not a 'Girl Crush' that feels like a steamroller. I just don't know who could win."Meanwhile, Midland broke out as a neo-traditionalist band with "Drinkin' Problem," a George Strait-style throwback."I would love to see it win single of the year because of its traditional sound," McAnally said. "(Single of the year) is about commercial impact, but I've always thought about it as the sound of the record."______"Drunk Girl" by Chris Janson, nominated for song of the year:Most country singers steer away from politically charged topics, but during the #MeToo movement, Janson had a pointed message for men. "Take the drunk girl home," he sings, and walk away.Janson said he wrote the song with Tom Douglas and Scooter Carusoe long before #MeToo spread virally last year, but with Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings this year, the song was relevant enough to gain a nomination."I am not really a soapbox guy," Janson said. "I just write what I write and sing what I sing. I do believe in the message very powerfully and I am glad that it is connecting."CMA voters do like message songs: Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" and Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow" both won because they had something important to say. But the bluntness of the song has given some critics pause, most notably when a New Yorker column called it a "#MeToo misfire."But Janson says he's not trying to appeal to everyone."I've never really tried to sell this song to anybody or shove it down anybody's throat," he said. 6996

National leaders are launching an investigation into nursing homes and how they are handling the coronavirus crisis, specifically asking how they spent federal funds during the pandemic and their efforts to prevent further infections.Letters seeking information were sent to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that oversees nursing homes, as well as the five largest for-profit nursing home companies in the country. Read the letter sent to CMS here.“The Subcommittee is concerned that lax oversight by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the federal government’s failure to provide testing supplies and personal protective equipment to nursing homes and long-term care facilities may have contributed to the spread of the coronavirus and the deaths of more than 40,000 Americans in these facilities,” wrote Representative James E. Clyburn, the chairman of the committee.CMS Administrator Seema Verma responded to the letter on social media, linking to updated nursing home data. Click here to see the latest information. 1082
