Featured Article: Insurrection of August 10, 1792

Capture of the Tuileries Palace

The Insurrection of August 10, 1792 was a defining event of the French Revolution, when armed revolutionaries in Paris, increasingly in conflict with the French monarchy, stormed the Tuileries Palace. Hundreds of revolutionaries and Swiss guardsmen, who were defending the palace, were killed and Louis and the royal family took shelter with the Legislative Assembly. The conflict led France to abolish the monarchy and establish a republic.

-text='''Neanderthal''' or '''Neandertal''' is a relatively recent [[extinction|extinct]] member of the ''Homo'' genus that inhabited [[Europe]] and parts of western [[Asia]] in the middle to late [[Pleistocene]], first appearing in the [[fossil]] record some 200,000 to 400,000 years ago and disappearing about 30,000 years ago. They are a sister group of present-day humans, with whom they came in contact during the later part of their history, from at least 80,000 years ago, and by whom they were displaced.

-Sequencing of the Neanderthal genome has suggested that Neanderthals, modern humans, and another hominid known as [[Denisovan]]s descended from a common ancestor several hundred thousand years ago (perhaps 350,000 to 500,000 years ago). The branch giving rise to the Neanderthal/Denisovan lineage is theorized to have migrated from Africa and shortly thereafter split into Neaderthals (which settled in Europe and Western Asia) and Denisovans (which settled further to the east). Later, anatomically modern humans left Africa (perhaps as recently as 50,000 to 100,000 years ago). Distinct Neanderthal DNA found in the genome of living humans has suggested subsequent interbreeding among anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals. }}
