The activity of neuronal cells that release the neurotransmitter dopamine is thought to encode differences between predicted and actual rewards. This ‘prediction error’ is key to reinforcement learning. It emerges that dopamine neurons differ in their timescales for temporal discounting, enabling the brain to implement sophisticated reinforcement-learning algorithms along multiple timescales.

Studies of ancient DNA have generally found that societies in Neolithic and Bronze Age Eurasia were organized around the male line. However, investigation of the Fujia archaeological site in eastern China reveals a Neolithic community organized around two maternal clans — suggesting that this prehistoric society traced its ancestry through the maternal line.
