AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoCotton Origins Breakthrough: Scientists used genome comparisons to trace upland cotton (the dominant cotton species behind ~90% of global production) to first domestication in northwestern Mexico’s Yucatán, dating it to at least 4,000 years ago (possibly up to 7,000), with wild cotton links also pointing across the Yucatán, Florida, and Caribbean islands including Puerto Rico and Guadeloupe. Eastern Caribbean Earthquake Response: A strong May 16 quake shook Antigua and Barbuda and was felt across much of the region, including Guadeloupe, with early readings shifting from about 6.5 to 6.0; officials say no injuries were reported and disaster teams are assessing damage costs while tsunami risk was ruled out. Mindfulness at Depth: In a separate human-interest study, a Guadeloupe-based French divemaster credits scuba diving and slow breathing with helping his panic attacks disappear for nearly 20 years.
