International audienceDissecting complex diversity patterns typically exhibited by organisms of hybrid zones is among the greatest challenges in evolutionary biology. This has been a long-standing goal of numerous Iberian honeybee studies. Herein, we further contribute to this goal by a fine-scale maternal survey of the Portuguese honeybee populations. In addition to confirm a predicted African ancestry of Portuguese populations and negligible levels of C-lineage introgression, our fine-scale survey revealed unparalleled levels of African maternal diversity and a remarkable north–south cline formed by African haplotypes of distinct ancestry. This survey further highlights the distinctiveness of A pis mellifera iberiensis by showing the existence of highly contrasting diversity patterns between the Atlantic and Mediterranean populations. Our findings further support an ancient natural invasion of the Iberian Peninsula possibly by Apis mellifera intermissa and also by Apis mellifera sahariensis. Protecting this African legacy is of unquestionable importance, especially with Iberia becoming warmer and dryer
Resumen: Este artículo aborda el machismo presente en la forma en que las comunidades cristianas, en general, interpretan la Biblia, dejando de observar el contexto histórico de la época en que Jesús y María vivieron, ignorando la opresión sufrida por niñas adolescentes, víctimas de violación otros tipos de violencia, lo que puede explicar la concepción real de Jesús, a través de una violación o de una conjunción carnal consentida. Se busca mostrar que las mismas estructuras de opresión machista todavía se hacen presentes actualmente, perjudicando el pleno desarrollo de niñas y niños. Se critica la omisión de las comunidades cristianas, manteniéndose el pudor y el silencio que sirven de herramienta para la opresión patriarcal. Palabras clave: jóvenes, Jesús, María, sexo, embarazo, estupro, machismo, cristianos
56Abstract: This article discusses the sexism present in the way that christian communities interpret the Bible in general, failing to observe the historical context of the time when Jesus and Mary lived, ignoring the oppression suffered by adolescent girls, victims of rape and other types of violence, which may explain the actual conception of Jesus, through rape or a consensual carnal conjunction. It seeks to show that the same structures of macho oppression are still present today, hampering the full development of girls and boys. The omission of the christian communities is criticized, maintaining the modesty and silence that serve as a tool for patriarchal oppression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
