Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Three-dimensional coal seam modeling of fully mechanized working face based on transparent geology

open access: yesGong-kuang zidonghua, 2022
The three-dimensional coal seam modeling method based on transparent geology is an effective way to indirectly solve the problem of coal rock identification. Most of the existing three-dimensional coal seam modeling methods focus on the expression of spatial three-dimensional entities. There is a lack of research on the dynamic change of coal seam roof
