Meanwhile, new genetic research is upending everything we thought we knew about human evolution, suggesting Homo erectus may have left a detectable genetic legacy in people alive today. On the health front, a surprising drug already approved for constipation is showing early promise in clearing cognitive symptoms linked to depression, and a natural compound found in aged cheese may help older immune systems respond to vaccines like younger ones. We also cover a rare Ebola-family virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rising breast cancer rates among Asian American women, and the astonishing discovery of Homer's Iliad hidden inside a 1,600-year-old Egyptian mummy.
