'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive
lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3
million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon
rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.
Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses
of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map
the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the
southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were
published in Nature.
Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which
lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
have been around three times larger than previously
expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered
1.25 −3 million people.
The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns
built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take
various shapes including circles and squares and appear
to be connected by straight roads or pathways.
"The scale and precision of these constructions are
simply astonishing," lead author and University of
Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC
Science Focus.
"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we
estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may
contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks
linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of
landscape modification previously unimaginable for this
part of Amazonia."
Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the
trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of
the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the
rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans,
and not its denser parts.
"These findings suggest that many other regions across
Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely
populated and intensively modified than previously
assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the
rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen
said.
The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies
domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and
which continue to grow in the region today.
"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to
different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of
earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said.
"Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else
remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

"The scale and precision of these constructions are simply astonishing."
Suppose a writer reports his statement later, using conventional reported-speech backshift and maintaining the original meaning.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
Entrepreneurship is booming in the U.S. Gen Zers are
leading the way.
For Melanie Herbert, years of hospital treatments for a
serious medical condition fueled an early interest in how
healthcare providers communicate and address their
patients' needs.
The experience informed her decision years later to
launch Sync Labs, a health technology startup that aims
to improve care for older Americans, while she was still a
student at the University of Pennsylvania.
"I feel like it's unfortunately a very neglected space where
a lot of the technology and tools are really behind,"
Herbert, 23, told CBS News.
Although such entrepreneurship is clearly unusual for
young people, it is by no means unheard of these days.
Research from the Bank of America Institute shows that
Generation Z members are contributing
"disproportionately" to a recent surge in business
formation.
In a trend that highlights how younger Americans are helping catalyze economic growth, the number of new
business applications filed by Gen Zers jumped 66% in
June compared with a year ago. That far outpaced
applications filed by other generations, the Bank of
America Institute found.
Young Americans are helping fuel a broader jump in
applications to form businesses. According to the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Americans filed more than
531,000 business applications in June, more than double
the 2020 figure.
Scott Issen, CEO of Future Founders, a nonprofit group
that helps nurture entrepreneurial skills, said demand for
the organization's services is surging — a shift he
attributes to a change in many young people's attitude
toward employment.
"Macroeconomically, I think there's less interest year over
year for young people to work for others," he told CBS
News. "They would prefer to be their own bosses and
create their own opportunity."
The burst in entrepreneurship among younger Americans
isn't limited to graduates of prestigious universities.
Lower-income households now account for 25% of all
new businesses getting off the ground, up from 20% in
2020, the Bank of America Institute found.
"In a lot of ways, I think entrepreneurship is
democratizing right now," said Angela Lee, co-director of
the Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center at Columbia
Business School. "So I'm not at all surprised to see
younger, lower-income founders start companies."
AI lowers barriers to entry
Experts attribute part of the surge in Gen Z founders to
the advent of artificial intelligence, which is helping young
people get their businesses off the ground by automating
basic tasks and reducing startup costs.
"The barriers to entry are getting much lower," Lori
Rosenkopf, a professor at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, told CBS News. "It's pretty
easy for anyone to start building some content, making
themselves a content creator or doing a little bit of vibe
coding."
AI can also help young business founders save money.
Lee, a serial entrepreneur, said she paid roughly $15,000
for a single web developer when she started her first
company.
"Now with AI, something that would have taken an app
developer three months and $15,000, you can vibe code
over the weekend," she said.
AI is integral to Herbert's company, which uses the
technology to streamline information from health
providers' notes, staff observations, lab results and other
data. For example, Sync Labs' tech can "ambiently listen"
to staff meetings when activated, creating a fuller picture
of patient needs and offering clinically backed
recommendations from the company's generative AI
models, she said.
Herbert also said AI has been a "game changer" for daily operations at the San Francisco-based company, noting
that it helps speed up tasks and reduce expenses. "As a
startup, time is everything," she said. "We're trying to get
our product out to as many people as possible as quickly
as possible."
"There is a lot of job dislocation right now"
Today's challenging economic backdrop — and the rise
of AI — also helps explain why more young Americans
are choosing to launch their own businesses, experts
said.
"There is a lot of job dislocation right now, and younger
people are finding it hard to secure traditional
employment given our current economic conditions,"
Wharton's Rosenkopf said.
Although U.S. unemployment remains low and job growth
has been solid, research shows that recent college
graduates are struggling to find work, especially as AI
starts to automate certain functions normally reserved for
entry-level workers. A recent ZipRecruiter survey of 1,000
recruiters found that 38% of employers have shifted basic
data-processing tasks away from entry-level workers and
onto AI.
Herbert said she didn't start Sync Labs due to concerns
about the labor market, but noted that the stress of
finding a job has weighed heavily on her friends.
"Being in this generation, it's probably one of the most
talked about things," she said.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gen-z-business-applications-surge-ai/
Herbert explicitly distinguishes her personal motivation
for founding Sync Labs from concerns about employment
conditions. Suppose a writer incorporates her statement
into a retrospective report using conventional backshift.
Original statement:
"I didn't start Sync Labs due to concerns about the labor market."
Which sentence appropriately reports the statement?

Bettytown Library marks opening chapter
Tomorrow (Tuesday) marks the first anniversary of
the opening of Bettystown Library with a programme of
events taking place throughout the day to celebrate the
milestone.
First opening its doors on 24th tebruary 2025,
over the past year it has become very much embedded in
the East Meath community, which had been without its
own library service for two decades.
On Friday, staff were delighted to learn that
Bettystown Library has been shortlisted as an Island of
Ireland Regional and Country Finalist for the Library of the
Year 2026, a category of the British Book Awards, which is
sponsored by DK in association with the Reading Agency.
Events to mark the first anniversary including an
exhibition of work by the 'Open Book Craft Group' one of
the very successful groups that meeting in the library.
Executive Librarian Aoife Carberry is delighted
with how the first year has gone for the library.
"We are blown away by the support we have
received. It is so lovely to get to know the different
members and organisations within the area and to work
towards the best service we can possible be for them, "she
said.
"We have been very lucky, we have had incredible
support from the community here. We've worked closely
with a number or organisations, schools and special
interest groups in the area as well. We just want to thank
the community for welcoming us as well as they have and
we look forward to continuing to work with them as the
years go by."
She spoke of how libraries are no longer quiet
hushed places but are vibrant places with a wide variety of
events and initiatives that go far beyond just borrowing
books.
"The biggest message we want to get out is that
libraries are open to everyone, everyone is welcome. We
have our books. We have plenty of events, loads of
initiatives we work on, in Meath we have STEAM kits and
backpacks to borrow, home energy kits to borrow, a huge
range of online resources, audio books, ebooks, courses
where you can upskill or develop a new hobby, language
learning courses and books in other languages."
"There is a huge wealth of things in libraries,
covering all ages and all interests."

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão:
In the Star Trek universe, the audience occasionally gets a glimpse inside schools on the planet Vulcan. Young children stand alone in “capsules” surrounded by 360-degree digital screens. Adults walk around but do not talk to the students. Instead, each child interacts only with a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI). Although this is not the reality in today’s classrooms on Earth, there are people for whom a vision of personalized learning conducted by artificial intelligence has considerable appeal.
Individualized learning has its place. But decades of educational research also demonstrate that learning is essentially a social endeavor. Classrooms that privilege personalized AI chatbots overlook that fact.
Generative AI is quickly coming to classrooms. If decades ago educators worldwide promoted the benefits of “One Laptop per Child”, today we may be approaching the model “one chatbot per child.” What does educational research tell us about what this model could mean for children’s learning and well-being?
During much of the 20th century, learning was understood as mainly as a matter of individual cognition. A misconception, if compared to today’s comprehension of what learning involves. Scientists now understand that apparently individual processes – such as building new knowledge – are actually social interactions with the world around us. In classrooms, this suggests that opportunities for daily personal interaction can strongly support brain health and academic learning.
Therefore, it is important to understand generative AI’s real-life impact on students.
For example: How does it feel to learn from a chatbot, day after day? How will long-term use of AI affect children’s mental health? How does AI use affect children’s relationships with each other and with their teachers? What kinds of relationships might children form with the chatbots themselves? More broadly, we could also ask: What do we, as a society, actually want children to learn?
Good teaching and learning blends social and individual processes. I see the beneficial application of any new technology in the classroom – AI or otherwise – as a way to build upon the social fabric of human learning. My concern about personalized AI tutors is how they might displace already infrequent opportunities for social interaction, further isolating children in classrooms.
