Americas ’ first cowboys were enslaved Africans, ancient cow DNA suggests

most of them were Black
.

Scientific Reports
, also provides evidence that African cattle made it to the Americas at least a century earlier than historians realized.

Ancient Amazonians created mysterious ‘dark earth’ on purpose
Mysterious patches of fertile black soil pepper the verdant Amazon rainforest. They sit in stark contrast with the reddish, eroded soil that dominates the basin. Researchers have long thought this Amazonian dark earth—or

—was created by pre-Hispanic Indigenous civilizations, which have inhabited the region for millennia, but it wasn’t clear how.
