Renowned Nazi hunter in France advises Jews to choose far right over far left in elections
Days ahead of France's crucial parliamentary elections, renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld is sticking to his advice that if voters are faced with a duel between Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and a far-left competitor, they should choose the far right. The advice from Klarsfeld, an 88-year-old Jewish historian who has dedicated his life to bringing fugitive Nazis to justice, goes against many other Jewish leaders and intellectuals in France who see fighting the National Rally as a top priority in Sunday's runoff vote.

Fossils show huge salamanderlike predator with sharp fangs existed before the dinosaurs
Scientists have revealed fossils of a giant salamanderlike beast with sharp fangs that ruled waters before the first dinosaurs arrived. The predator, which was larger than a person, likely used its wide, flat head and front teeth to suck in and chomp unsuspecting prey, researchers said. “It’s acting like an aggressive stapler,” said Michael Coates, a biologist at the University of Chicago who was not involved with the work.

Study brings lifestyle of enigmatic extinct humans into focus
Thousands of bone fragments discovered in a cave on the Tibetan Plateau in China are offering rare insight into the lives of Denisovans, the mysterious extinct cousins of Neanderthals and our own species, showing they hunted a wide range of animals from sheep to woolly rhinoceros in this high-altitude abode. Researchers studied more than 2,500 bones found inside Baishiya Karst Cave, which is situated 10,760 feet (3,280 meters) above sea level and previously had yielded Denisovan fossil remains. They used ancient protein analysis on these remains to reveal that the Denisovans exploited various animals for their meat and skins, and also excavated and identified a rib bone from a Denisovan individual dating to 48,000-32,000 years ago - the youngest Denisovan fossil yet known.

The leader of Germany's opposition conservatives, who are topping nationwide polls ahead of elections next year, ruled out his party forming a coalition with the far-right AfD even as European counterparts increasingly consider such alliances. Friedrich Merz told journalists on Wednesday he had been surprised at the call by France's conservative Republicans' party chairman for an alliance with the far-right National Rally (RN) in the parliamentary elections there. "We are in a different situation because of our history, especially when it comes to right-wing populism and, above all, right-wing extremism," said Merz, 67, referring to Nazi rule that led to World War Two and the Holocaust.

Following the judge's nod, Fisker will be able to offload 3,321 electric vehicles to New York-based American Lease for $46.25 million, according to a court filing on Tuesday. The EV startup, which filed for bankruptcy protection last month, faced logistics issues while selling its Ocean electric SUVs and pivoted to a dealer-partner model earlier this year after burning through a large amount of cash.

Q&A: Jessica Calarco on ‘how women became America’s safety net’
For decades, American women have filled the gaps, to the detriment of themselves and their families, according to sociologist Jessica Calarco. More than two-thirds of Americans’ unpaid caregiving work -- valued at $1 trillion annually -- is done by women, according to an analysis by the National Partnership for Women & Families based on 2023 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In an interview with The Associated Press, Calarco discusses her book and explains why women in the U.S. bear the brunt of prohibitively expensive high-quality daycare, limited government assistance and inaccessible paid maternal leave in the wake of the pandemic and beyond.
