Many Americans can trace some lines of their family tree back to the 1600s. However, African Americans descended from enslaved Africans, who began arriving in North America in 1619, lack ancestral information spanning several centuries. A new USC and Stanford study, recently published in Genetics , provides insight into who occupies these missing branches of family trees — and gives a glimpse of how many branches there are. "Slavery was not that many generations ago, so my family still tells stories about our enslaved ancestors, like who they were and, in my case, how we ended up as light as we are," said first author Jazlyn Mooney, the Gabilan Assistant Professor of Quantitative and Computational Biology at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

BEIJING — China's armed forces should devote greater energy to training under combat conditions and boost combat preparedness, Premier Li Keqiang said on Sunday. 'Our armed forces, with a focus on the goals for the centenary of the People's Liberation Army in 2027, should work to carry out military operations, boost combat preparedness, and enhance military capabilities,' he said in his work report to the opening of the annual meeting of China's parliament. China has the world's largest military and its development and Beijing's strategic intentions have been a cause of concern regionally and in Washington, especially as tensions have spiked in recent years over Chinese-claimed Taiwan.

The City of Hobart's standing as a welcoming and inclusive city has been further advanced with the Hobart City Council's Planning Committee approving the removal of the William Crowther statue from Franklin Square. Once all conditions are met, the council-endorsed removal of the colonial statue would be the first of its kind in Australia. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said that several years ago the Tasmania's Aboriginal community asked that Council consider the removal of this statue as an act of reconciliation and to tell a more truthful history of how Aboriginal people were treated in colonial Hobart.
