This is pre-agriculture, so the simplest explanation is nomadic tribes occasionally running into each other and interbreeding (plenty of ways that could happen, from war prisoners to exchanges to form alliances, which isn't unheard of with chimpanzees, royalty and other lower primates). It wouldn't take many generations for dominant genetic traits to traverse the continent, given a suitable lack of geographic barriers and a few droughts temporarily reducing the range of viably habitable territories.
Think of it this way: modern populations which had been mostly isolated on different continents for thousands of years have obvious genetic variations from each other, but we can all still interbreed and pass useful adaptations on. For example, two thirds of the world's adult population don't produce lactase, so can't properly digest cow's milk, but adult lactose intolerance is unusual enough to be considered a malady in people of European descent. Given sufficient interbreeding (say, a catastrophe causing mass migration from the Americas to Asia) and a food shortage where digesting milk is an advantage, producing lactase into adulthood could become a globally dominant trait. And that's how you can have distributed evolution in a single species.
You socially engineer an invitation to join. For some reason that doesn't strike me as being particularly difficult in this instance.
A lot of people have leapt immediately to "free speech" arguments, what they don't get is that the people who outed themselves by joining this group also proved they're too dumb for university because they left the information where it could be found relatively easily on a system with no anonymity. Put it this way: 99.999% of Slashdotters are smarter than that, would you want that bottom 0.001% attending your college?
Way ahead of you. The term comes from New Guinea, and because of my involvement in aid programs there around the turn of the century mi tok pisin gut pela tru. I'll just say that it smells a bit like pork...
I asked a similar question when my dad was in hospital being treated for an MRSA infection from a previous hospital stay. The answer is a typical telephone has speaker and mic holes, seams and moldings in the case, cutouts around the buttons (if it doesn't use membrane switches, though I haven't seen one like that for years)...lots of places for germs to hide where UV light can't get to them. Wiping down with alcohol isn't effective either.
Plastic bags muffle sound, add handling noise and make dialling and using the phone in general more difficult. It's a reasonable assumption that a patient is in hospital because they're already impaired in some way (or may be impaired by sedatives, pain killers, etc), so if the phone is more difficult to use than normal it may defeat the purpose of having it there at all.
And ultimately, they can buy basic handsets in bulk for ~$8 each, which works out cheaper than trying to keep them sterile. It also eliminates the risk of human error such as being incorrectly tagged and accidentally cycled back into use without being sterilized first, and that's a big enough problem with surgical instruments which can easily be autoclaved (many cheaper instruments like scalpels and scissors are also single use these days for the same reason).
You avoided it, I'll say it: With great power comes great responsibility.
Smartphones are low power devices. This is why people stare at them while walking, driving, etc: with diminished power comes diminished responsibility.
Fair call: although she didn't know the technology's capabilities at least she didn't walk out into traffic as though a set of earbuds provide an impenetrable force field.
Which gives me a great idea for an app...is there a "herd culling" category?
Funny you should say that. The Abbott/Turnbull governments instructed the CSIRO to run a marsupial-based alternative energy production trial, but due to the ferocity of the Tasmanian devil and various government health and safety regulations they were ordered to use a Tasmanian tiger (thylacene) instead. Since the only known remaining example of the thylacene is a stuffed exhibit in a museum no power was produced, thus proving the conservative government's argument that alternative energy schemes aren't effective, and both cuts to CSIRO funding and the approval of the Adani coal mine are justified.
An all-corn diet has virtually no protein... The body will eventually rebel against such a diet, and force a change in nutrient availability. I was born and raised in Iowa, so I love the taste of corn, but even I know that a man cannot live on corn alone... nor a rat.
Rats contain lots of protein, but true enough, one isn't going to last you very long.
You're obviously a newbie. Before MySpace it was calculated by inverting the number of GIFs on your Geocities page, and before that it was based on how many AOL CDs you threw out. Going back even further, premiums were set by users themselves via Telnet (until the insurance companies figured out how secure their systems, anyway).
You mean my year old Nexus 5 that google stopped releasing updates for months ago is as secure as a year old iphone?
It is: both have an equal amount of confidence, though the exact nature of their self-doubts differ slightly. Windows phones, on the other hand, suffer a severe persecution complex and fear of rejection (which admittedly is well founded).

Triple if RMS is mentioned.
And empty the liquor cabinet if APK posts in the comments, though that's not so much a game as a coping mechanism.
They are. People make lousy bacon.
I hope our next viable candidate is a Macron...
That's a little round meringue, isn't it?
From my experience in the Read instruction manual, China is an expert on the exact wording of the. I cannot see what the problem.

An apt typo, given how much modern politics in general stinks.
Thanks, I'll give that a...wait, this is a trap, isn't it?

Don't bother, it's perpetually closed for the holidays.
I thought that was a trinitrotoluene cell.

It means "thank you terrible lizard".
When has an absence of data ever stopped anyone expressing their opinion?

No, spacecrafts is correct: aliens macrame their pressure suits, and their star charts are macaroni pictures.
Thanks for quoting Marissa Mayer's comments on security spending, but next time please attribute it correctly.
