GPS collars reveal hyenas retreating while male lions repeatedly close the distance.Neanderthals and modern humans did not simply occupy the same landscape and disappear from one another’s story. A study of Üçağızlı II Cave in southern Türkiye points to a longer period of cultural continuity in the northern Levant, where stone tools, shell ornaments and other remains appear across a sequence spanning more than 20,000 years.

La ciencia ha transformado nuestra vida más allá de lo imaginable. Nos ha llevado al espacio, ha descifrado el genoma humano y ha creado máquinas que aprenden. Pero, en su núcleo, persisten misterios que ningún avance ha conseguido despejar.
Sonia Contera, catedrática de Física en Oxford y una de las científicas más influyentes del panorama internacional, nos invita a explorar esas fronteras del conocimiento donde las ecuaciones se detienen y comienza el asombro. Desde los enigmas de la física cuántica, el origen de la vida y el misterio del envejecimiento, hasta los retos de la inteligencia artificial y la conciencia, Contera revela cómo cada intento de respuesta ha cambiado nuestra forma de entender el universo… y a nosotros mismos.
Un viaje fascinante y accesible por los desafíos más profundos de la ciencia contemporánea y por las preguntas que seguirán marcando el futuro de la humanidad.

En esta obra se detalla la evolución de la profesión de parteras a matronas y profesoras en partos en Granada durante el siglo XIX. Se enfoca en la formación académica de las primeras mujeres que asistieron a la Facultad de Medicina de Granada, destacando sus desafíos y logros. La profesión de partera se transformó significativamente en el siglo XIX, pasando de ser una práctica empírica a una formación académica formal en la Facultad de Medicina de Granada. Las primeras mujeres que asistieron a la Facultad de Medicina de Granada enfrentaron numerosos desafíos, incluyendo la necesidad de contar con la autorización marital y superar prejuicios sociales. La formación académica fue crucial para profesionalizar la práctica de las matronas, permitiéndoles adquirir conocimientos teóricos y prácticos necesarios para asistir partos de manera segura. Las matronas enfrentaron desafíos administrativos y legislativos, como la necesidad de legalizar su documentación y pagar tasas elevadas para obtener sus títulos. Algunos médicos y cirujanos jugaron un papel importante en la formación de las matronas, apoyando su educación y contribuyendo a mejorar la salud materno-infantil. La universidad libre de Córdoba tuvo un impacto temporal en la formación de matronas, permitiendo a algunas mujeres obtener su título antes de su cierre en 1874. La legislación sobre la enseñanza de matronas evolucionó, estableciendo requisitos como la necesidad de tener más de 20 años, estar casadas o viudas, y contar con la licencia de sus maridos. En la obra se describe un abecedario detallado de las primeras alumnas de la Facultad de Medicina de Granada, con información sobre sus vidas y carreras. La investigación se basó en el archivo de la universidad de Granada, la diputación provincial y el archivo general de la administración. Se resalta la importancia de reconocer el esfuerzo y la dedicación de las matronas, quienes contribuyeron significativamente a la seguridad de las mujeres en el momento de alumbrar a sus hijas e hijos.

Acapulco Imagen Awards recognition has given Apple TV’s bilingual comedy one more victory after its fourth and final season. The series leads the 41st Annual Imagen Awards with 13 nominations, placing its cast, directors, music team and production among the year’s most celebrated examples of Latino creative work.
The Imagen Foundation announced the nominations Thursday as part of its annual program recognizing Latino talent and representation across film, television, music, documentaries and digital media. Acapulco received more nominations than any other series, including recognition for Best Comedy Series and multiple acting and directing performances.
The awards organization also announced that actor, filmmaker, producer and musician Andy Garcia will receive its Lifetime Achievement Award. Garcia is separately nominated for his supporting performance in Landman, giving the ceremony another connection between a career-spanning honor and current screen work.
For Apple TV, the nominations extend the life of a series that completed its run in September 2025. Acapulco may have checked out of Las Colinas, but the Imagen Awards are giving the resort one more crowded week.
The 13 nominations show how widely the Imagen Foundation recognized the series rather than concentrating only on its lead actors.
Acapulco is nominated for Best Comedy Series, while Oscar Almengor and Santiago Limón both received Best Director nominations. Javier Nuño and Joe Rodríguez were recognized for Best Music Supervision for Film or Television.
Enrique Arrizon and Camila Perez are both nominated in the Best Actor — Comedy category. Although the category name uses “Actor,” the Imagen Foundation placed performers of different genders together in the 2026 comedy field.
The supporting categories gave Acapulco an especially strong presence. Eugenio Derbez, Fernando Carsa, Carlos Corona and Cristo Fernández received Best Supporting Actor — Comedy nominations. Vanessa Bauche and Keyla Monterroso Mejia are nominated for Best Supporting Actress — Comedy.
That distribution reflects the ensemble structure that allowed Acapulco to run for four seasons. The series used Máximo Gallardo’s memories as its entry point, but Las Colinas worked because the hotel was filled with characters whose ambitions, friendships and disasters could carry stories of their own.
The show’s visual identity often received attention first. Its bright colors, resort setting and polished 1980s design made it easy to recognize within seconds. The Imagen nominations reach beyond that appearance and recognize the performances, direction and music that gave the setting its emotional rhythm.
The fourth season returned to Las Colinas with two connected timelines. In the present day, Máximo worked to restore the hotel before its reopening. In 1986, his younger self tried to protect Las Colinas after a competing resort claimed the top position in Acapulco’s annual hotel rankings.
That structure allowed the series to close the distance between the ambitious young employee played by Arrizon and the successful older man played by Derbez. The final episodes had to complete character relationships, resolve the hotel’s future and explain how youthful choices shaped the life Máximo later built.
The Imagen nominations suggest the final season avoided becoming a farewell built only around nostalgia. Its actors remained competitive across several categories, and both nominated directors received recognition for guiding individual parts of the closing chapter.
Acapulco also maintained its bilingual identity throughout the run. English and Spanish were not treated as occasional flavor or a translation exercise. They reflected the characters, workplace and cultural setting. That helped the series reach an international audience without removing the Mexican identity at its center.
For Apple TV, that combination provided a comedy that could travel globally while remaining tied to a specific place and community.
Acapulco delivered Apple TV’s largest Imagen Awards presence, but it was not the service’s only nominated production.
Pluribus received a nomination for Best Drama Series, while Carlos-Manuel Vesga was nominated for Best Supporting Actor — Drama. The Morning Show earned nominations for director Miguel Arteta and supporting actor Nestor Carbonell.
Peter Dager of Stick joined Carbonell in the supporting comedy category, while Mariana Treviño received a Best Supporting Actress — Comedy nomination for the same series. Isabella Gomez was recognized for Shrinking, and Aimee Carrero received a nomination for Your Friends & Neighbors.
Apple’s animated series also appeared in the youth category, with WondLa and Wonder Pets: In the City both nominated for Best Youth Programming. Harvey Guillén received a Best Voice-Over Actor nomination for Shape Island.
The broader list reinforces Apple TV’s ability to attract Latino performers and creators across genres rather than through one designated cultural title. Drama, workplace comedy, animation and mystery all contributed to the service’s presence.
Acapulco remains the centerpiece because its 13 nominations represent recognition of an entire production, not a single breakout performance.
Andy Garcia’s Lifetime Achievement Award gives the ceremony a different scale. His career has moved through major studio films, independent productions, television, directing, producing and music over several decades.
Garcia became widely known through films including The Untouchables, Internal Affairs, The Godfather Part III and Ocean’s Eleven. His performance as Vincent Mancini in The Godfather Part III earned him an Academy Award nomination, while later roles allowed him to move between crime drama, comedy, family stories and television.
His Imagen recognition also reflects a career shaped by Cuban American identity without limiting him to one type of role. Garcia has frequently spoken about cultural representation, creative ownership and the difficulty of bringing Latino-centered stories through the traditional Hollywood system.
The Lifetime Achievement Award arrives while Garcia remains active rather than functioning as a retirement tribute. His nomination for Landman places him directly inside the current awards field he is being asked to help represent.
That combination suits the Imagen Foundation’s mission. The honor recognizes longevity, but it also connects Garcia’s career with the actors, directors and producers building the next generation of Latino entertainment.
Acapulco ended after four seasons, which makes the scale of its Imagen recognition especially satisfying. The series did not need a fifth season announcement to extend its cultural presence. Its final production year generated enough work to lead an entire awards field.
The show also leaves Apple TV with a useful model for international programming. Acapulco was local without being narrow, bilingual without turning language into a gimmick and colorful without allowing its visual style to replace character development.
Its 13 nominations cover the exact areas that sustained that model: acting, direction, music and the series as a whole. The result is less like one last souvenir from Las Colinas and more like a full luggage cart.
Winners of the 41st Annual Imagen Awards will be announced during the ceremony in August. Acapulco will arrive with the largest number of chances, while Andy Garcia receives an honor that extends far beyond one performance or season.
The hotel may have closed its final television chapter, but the Imagen Awards have found 13 reasons to reopen the doors.
