Meet Ned. He's a Neanderthal. He's sad because he's extinct. He's wondering if the possible existence of bits of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans means that he's sort of not extinct in a way.

Imagine how bad a situation you would have to be in to actually flee your own country on a rickety boat with your baby in your arms with no idea if you will survive or where you will end up. Right now, a genocide is being perpetrated against the Rohingya people of Myanmar. They have been called the world's most persecuted minority. While this has been going on for years now, violence has sharply increased recently. Villages are being burned to the ground, and rapes and murder of Rohingya people, even children, are rampant. The details are too graphic and disturbing to share here. The government is not only allowing this but actually supporting it. The Rohingya are targeted as an ethnic group, presented, falsely, as illegal immigrants and outsiders, despite having lived in the region since probably the 800s CE, because their ethnicity, language, and religion cause them to be seen as different, and therefore dangerous. They are not even given citizenship in their own country. In the last few weeks alone, it is estimated that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people have fled Myanmar into neighboring Bangladesh. #Rohingya #Myanmar #Genocide #EthnicCleansing #Refugees
