London, The mammoths (giant elephants) found in the tundra regions of Siberia during the Ice Age have been extinct thousands of years ago.
By studying fossils, researchers keep giving new information about their living from time to time. In a recent study about mammoths, researchers have claimed that the world’s last mammoth living on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean died four thousand years ago due to extreme seasonal events.
An international team, including researchers from the University of Helsinki, Finland, have explored the causes of the extinction of these giant elephants by creating scenarios of extreme weather events through a computer model.
According to the study published in the journal Quaternary Science Review, mammoths continued to spread from Spain to Alaska in the northern shells until the last time of the ice age (one million to 15 thousand years ago).
Due to global warming that began 15,000 years ago, their habitats were gradually confined to northern Siberia and Alaska.
Mammoths living on the Rengel Island were cut off from the other world due to rising seawater levels and its population here lived for the next seven thousand years.
The team of researchers also included researchers from the University of Tübingen and the Russian Academy of Science in Germany.
For this study, researchers studied mammoth fossils (teeth, bones, etc.) from northern Siberia, Alaska, Ukraine, and Wrangel Island.
During this time, researchers found that mammals of mammoths on Wrangel Island were not completely eradicated for ten thousand years even after increasing heat.
This means that even after the onset of global warming, Mammoth must have tried to keep itself climate-friendly for many years.
On the other hand, mammoths disappeared 15,000 years ago in the plains of Ukraine and Russia, while mammoths of St. Paul’s Island in Alaska disappeared 5,600 years ago.
In the course of the study, researchers said that in both cases significant changes were seen in the anatomy of the last representatives of their populations, meaning that their environment must have changed drastically before extinction.
In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
