Noticias La Insuperable<p><strong>Los genes del desierto: los turkana de Kenia desarrollaron adaptaciones genéticas únicas para resistir la sed y el calor con una dieta basada en carne, leche y&nbsp;sangre</strong></p> Un estudio publicado en Science revela cómo los turkana, un pueblo nómada del norte de Kenia, desarrollaron adaptaciones genéticas únicas para sobrevivir en uno de los entornos más hostiles del planeta. Pero esas mismas ventajas evolutivas hoy pueden volverse en su contra cuando migran a las ciudades y adoptan hábitos urbanos. Por Alina C.

DoomsdaysCW<p>When Universities Become Informants</p><p>A practice from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/McCarthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>McCarthy</span></a> era makes an ugly return.</p><p>By Judith Butler September 13, 2025</p><p>"On September 4, I received an email from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversityOfCalifornia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UniversityOfCalifornia</span></a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Berkeley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Berkeley</span></a>’s chief legal counsel, David Robinson, informing me that my name has been handed over to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration in a file containing allegations of antisemitism. A few days later, I discovered that the university had sent a list of 160 names to the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The list includes the names of students, staff, and faculty who may well suffer serious consequences, including the loss of jobs, expulsion, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deportation</span></a>, or harassment. This was a shock for many of us who believed that Berkeley is a university where one can expect support for freedom of expression and guarantees of fair procedure.</p><p>"Antisemitism must be unequivocally opposed along with every other form of racism, but there are campus protocols for investigating such allegations that ensure fairness and which, in this instance, were suspended by the administration. Moreover, it is important to consider which definition of antisemitism is at work. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, which the Trump administration accepts, is overbroad, often equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. It acts as a cudgel against freedom of expression and dissent." </p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/RK0K2#selection-2651.0-2657.54" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.ph/RK0K2#selection-265</span><span class="invisible">1.0-2657.54</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExhumingMcCarthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExhumingMcCarthy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/McCarthyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>McCarthyism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UCBerkeley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UCBerkeley</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanUniversities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanUniversities</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitulation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a></p>
