AI Thread Summary
In the 1970s, there was a belief that a poorly adjusted headrest could pose a greater danger than having no headrest at all. This notion has prompted questions about its validity and whether it remains accepted today. Despite extensive online searches, credible evidence supporting this claim is scarce. The discussion highlights the need for reputable research on car headrest adjustment, referencing a CBS News article from 2009 that touches on the topic but does not provide definitive answers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding headrest safety in relation to vehicle design and occupant protection.

Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
