Aluminum is singled out because of large amounts in use, and, more importantly, massive difference between energies required to make it and recycle it.

The only advantage China has atm is lack of ethics and their enforcement, which will probably turn into advantage in biological sciences.

Philippine Negritos have high Denisovan %:

Malaysian and Andamanese Negritos don't.

Not really, that founding population could have mated with Denisovan before crossing the Wallace line.

Which is most likely what happened, IMO. Descendants of that population got outcompeted by later ooA migrations, other than small pockets such as Negritos, who also show high Neandertal DNA %.

All matings that resulted in Neandertal DNA in modern humans were by Neandertal male + Sapiens female.

Subsaharan Africans have mated with for now unknown hominin cca 30kya.

As for your claim, you're mostly right. There was an incursion of non-African DNA into Subsaharan Africa around 3000kya, probably related to Bronze Age Collapse and migrations around it. Because of this, Africans can carry up to 25% Eurasian DNA, and part of that is Neandertal.

Homo erectus had an amazing range, both spacial and temporal. It inhabited the whole of the Africa-Eurasia landmass, and did so for over a million years (from 1.8Mya to 800kya). It is no surprise we're finding evidence of island populations that managed to survive even later (such as Flores).

As for the later stages,:

Sapiens or proto-Sapiens interbred with Neanderthals even earlier than the widely accepted cca 40kya admixture date; somewhere between 430kya and 270kya Sapiens dna enters Neandertal genome. While most of it was eventually bred out, mtDNA remained and all later Neandertal populations carried Sapiens mtDNA, with their original mtDNA disappearing

The reason for noncongruent out of Africa migration dates is that at least two occurred; other than the generally accepted cca 70kya migration, there was an earlier one which was limited to coastal areas of Arab peninsula, Indian subcontinent and SE Asia until it reached the previously unpopulated area behind the Wallace line, where it resulted in PNG and Australian aboriginal populations.

The reason for coastal-only migration until PNG was that those areas were already inhabited by Neanderthals and Denisovans whom Sapiens was unable to outcompete.

Only after Toba eruption (75kya) do those populations become weakened enough for Sapiens to outcompete them and that's when we see first successful migration to Middle East.

YUMad··on Photos of the Eiffel Tower at night are restricted due to copyright (2017)
Thanks for sharing, do you have any links about it? My comment is based on what I was told when I visited Croatia couple years ago and asked about all the newly-planted wineyards along the coast.
YUMad··on Photos of the Eiffel Tower at night are restricted due to copyright (2017)
Unrelated, but France's power in EU results in some weird stuff as well. In order to protect their own wine manufacturers, they've succesfully lobied for a total ban on new wineyards in whole of EU.

When Croatia was scheduled to join EU in July 2013., in the run up to that date its government gave out fat subsidies to anyone who converted their land into a wineyard, because once they joined the EU, game over.

The reality of tipping culture is that these workers are vastly overpaid for their skill and effort level.

That's why they're fine with their salary being less than federal minimum.

Google killed the xmpp momentum by gettimg scared of Facebook around 2010. and adopting the 'walled garden' approach.
