The dominant story in archaeology has long been that humans came to North America around 12,000 years ago. But Indigenous archaeologist Paulette Steeves points to mounting evidence suggesting human migration may have occurred closer to 130,000 ago.

Animals — what on earth are they thinking? A panel of scientists explore the notion of animal cognition from what your dog means when it wags its tail, to the incredible problem-solving skills of crows, as part of the Aspen Ideas Festival.

Changes to user comments on CBCNews.CA

In response to your feedback, we have made changes to make commenting on our news stories a better experience.

1. Approving and recommending comments

It can be a challenge to provide an open space for Canadians to debate and share their opinions on the news, and maintain that space as one where people feel safe and comfortable. As a result of your feedback, we have tightened up our submission guidelines. More borderline comments are now not published.

As always, if you see a comment that you feel contravenes our guidelines, click on the “report abuse” link below the comment. Our moderators will give the flagged comment a second review. We have recently added a link to our submissions policy beside the “report abuse” link.

If you simply disagree with the viewpoint expressed, you can now give it a “thumbs down.” We have reworked the existing “recommend a comment” functionality in response to user requests for the ability to “un-recommend” a comment.

2. When guidelines aren’t followed

We have always banned the most problematic users who fail to follow our guidelines, but we have also started to use a temporary suspension, or “time out.” For users that fail to follow the guidelines, we block their input to the site for 3 business days by rendering it invisible to other users. We'll still see any new posts, and can decide to lift the suspension after the “time out” period, or to ban the user.

3. When comments are disabled on news articles

Lastly, we do want to acknowledge that not all types of articles will include comments.

When we do an article on a death of an individual, we have seen comments submitted that are needlessly hurtful to the family of the deceased. To respect their loss, we disable commenting on these articles. We also disable commenting on court proceedings that involve a publication ban, and articles related to abductions, as we don't want to inadvertently publish any input that would be helpful for the abductors.

The CBC.ca moderators are working on more improvements to our commenting section that we hope to launch over the coming year. For more details, see Your Best Stuff.

Having problems commenting on stories?

We need more information.

To help us investigate the problems you are having making comments about our news stories, please include the following information in your email to “contact us”:

What Operating System are you using.
What Browser (including version)
What is your Username
What URL are you referring to (or what article are you commenting on)

In some situations, we disable commenting on stories. We do so by following certain criteria, such as if the comments may cause harm, or if there is a risk that they may break the law.

For example, we don't enable comments on stories about kidnapping, as we wouldn't want to inadvertently publish something that would assist the abductors.

We disable comments on stories concerning court cases that involve a publication ban, and on stories related to sexual assault, in order to protect the identity of the victim.

And often we don't allow comments on stories related to the death of individuals as we don't want to publish anything that may be hurtful for the family.

The decision to disable comments on a story is made after discussion among the news editorial team at CBC.ca.

What you are hearing is a Described Video soundtrack on CBC Television. DV allows vision-impaired Canadians greater access to CBC Television programming by describing the scene and action during pauses in dialogue. The DV soundtrack is delivered on Secondary Audio Program or SAP which is an audio setting on your Television. To turn off the narration, you need to have your television audio set with the SAP feature off and stereo sound on.

Turning SAP on and off is done on most television sets through a menu using the remote control. Every television set is different, so the best way to do that is to follow the instructions in your owner's manual.

De Fiber Carrier Association (FCA) presenteerde onlangs haar jaarlijkse rapport over de status van glasvezel in Nederland. Het zal niemand verbazen dat de verglazing van ons land ook in 2022 weer grote stappen gezet heeft. De FCA ziet naast al dat goede nieuws echter ook enkele bedreigingen. De verhardende concurrentiestrijd bijvoorbeeld en daarmee het risico dat er in steden meerdere glasvezelnetwerken komen te liggen.

T-Mobile heeft de bereikbaarheid van haar glasvezel dienstverlening deze week in één klap uitgebreid met meer dan 310.000 adressen. Nadat de provider eerder al een overeenkomst sloot met DELTA Fiber voor het leveren van glasvezeldiensten op elkaars netwerken, is nu een vergelijkbare deal gesloten met Glaspoort.

KPN heeft een volgende stap gezet op weg naar haar doelstelling om 80 procent van Nederland in 2026 te voorzien van een glasvezelaansluiting van het bedrijf. Met de overname van het glasvezelnetwerk van Primevest Capital Partners voegt KPN ruim 127.000 glasvezelaansluitingen aan haar netwerk toe.

KPN heeft bekendgemaakt dat het de Nederlandse activiteiten van Youfone zal overnemen. Youfone is momenteel al actief op de netwerken van KPN. Meer dan 540.000 klanten van Youfone maken momenteel gebruik van het mobiele en vaste netwerk van KPN, hier verandert niets aan.

De tarieven voor internet en tv zijn in vijf jaar tijd met bijna 24 procent gestegen. Jaar op jaar voeren providers forse prijsverhogingen door per 1 juli. Daarentegen krijgt de consument wel meer waar voor zijn geld; de prijs per megabit is gemiddeld met 64% gedaald. Dit blijkt uit onderzoek van onafhankelijke internetvergelijker Breedbandwinkel.nl onder 80.000 Nederlandse huishoudens.

Vandaag is de aftrap van het nieuwe Eredivisie seizoen. Afgelopen jaren hebben er een aantal drastische wijzigingen plaatsgevonden in de doorgifte van deze veelbekeken voetbalwedstrijden. Eerst diverse prijsverhogingen en later het gratis aanbieden van de belangrijkste wedstrijden. Voor de échte sportliefhebber die graag ESPN Compleet kijkt, lopen de tarieven nu verder uiteen dan ooit.

In een tijd waarin duurzaamheid en milieuvriendelijkheid steeds belangrijker worden, worden technologische oplossingen onderzocht om een groenere toekomst te bevorderen. Een van deze oplossingen is glasvezelinternet, dat niet alleen zorgt voor een sneller en betrouwbaarder internet, maar ook aanzienlijke voordelen biedt op het gebied van duurzaamheid en milieuvriendelijkheid.

Odido steekt boven alle Nederlandse providers uit in de recente benchmarktest van vaste internetdiensten, uitgevoerd door Umlaut. Hoewel KPN het beste scoort op het gebied van mobiele netwerken, is het Odido dat de kroon spant op het vlak van vast internet.
