  the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy selected

  a new tenant for the space. While the Greenway

  thrive with locations in Canton, Fort Point,
• 3:35
  and Fenway, along with a new indoor winter beer

  the world's oldest rock art has been discovered
• 5:19
  in Indonesia, with a hand stencil dating back
• 5:22
  67 ,800 years, resembling a claw. This remarkable
• 5:28
  find offers new insights into early human cognition
• 5:31
  and migration to Australia. Located on Muna,
• 5:35
  a tropical island off southeastern Sulawesi,
• 5:38
  the cave called Leang Medinduno features prehistoric
• 5:42
  paintings, including flying human figures in

  boats. The claw -like stencil is the oldest rock
• 5:48
  art attributed to modern humans, revealing sophisticated
• 5:52
  cognition during the late Pleistocene epoch.

• 6:10
  to hand Trump a rare loss on the Federal Reserve.

• 6:16
  received an icy reception from the justices.
• 6:19
  The court's Republican majority typically believes
• 6:22
  that President Donald Trump can fire nearly anyone
• 6:25
  working for a federal agency. However, in Trump
• 6:29
  v. Wilcox, the court indicated that the Federal
• 6:32
  Reserve is a uniquely structured entity, preventing
• 6:35
  Trump from firing its leaders. During oral arguments
• 6:39
  in Trump v. Cook, justices appeared skeptical
• 6:43
  of Trump's claims against Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
• 6:46
  questioning the validity of alleged mortgage
• 6:49
  discrepancies. Most justices seem to agree that
• 6:52
  Trump should not be able to dictate Federal Reserve
