...skull unearthed in the Flores cave. According to the PNAS researchers, the effects of microcephaly are evident in the asymmetric shape of the tiny skull. They claim, too, that the features of the skull cited as evidence that it belonged to a separate species?such as a nearly absent chin?can be found in modern Flores pygmies. The fact that pygmies can still be found living just down the road from the original excavation site helped clinch the argument for Robert Eckhardt, a developmental geneticist at Pennsylvania State University and a PNAS paper co-author. "If you look throughout...
...gumption to treat every song like a five-alarm blaze. She absolutely devours Makes Me Wanna Pray and Ain't No Other Man, a great big goofy love song that moves with such pace and brass that you can imagine taking two quick steps, thrusting out your chin and taking flight over its chorus...
...modern human. The skull was shaped asymmetrically, which the researchers argued was due to the effects of microcephaly. They also say that many of the features of the jaw and teeth cited as evidence that it belonged to a separate species-such as the lack of a chin-could be seen among modern Flores pygmies. It's that last part - the fact that a population of pygmies can still be found living just a stone's throw away from the Liang Bua cave where the original bones were found - that helped clinch the argument for Robert Eckhardt, a developmental geneticist...

She lay, her good hand clutching the sheet to her chin, and refused to answer. There was some light in the room, enough to see a man's form as he walked in. And then, just like she had wished it, a soldier was standing there...
...Shehri's medical records, however, document the use of the larger tubes, which experts say have no medical purpose in this context. Al-Shehri's lawyer has also filed court documents citing lesions and bleeding caused when guards held him by the chin and hair, strapped down, as a medical staffer"forcefully inserted the tube in his nose and down his throat" The lawyer also charges that al-Sherhri was subject to verbal and religious abuse during force-feeding, asserting that the tubes"were viewed by the detainees as objects of torture." The records also show that instead of leaving...
