  NPWRC :: The Cranes
Eurasian Cranes are omnivorous, probing and picking for a wide range of plant and animal foods both on dry land and in wetlands.
Because Eurasian Cranes are the most easily observed crane species (and usually the largest bird species) in many portions of their range, they play a valuable role in education about cranes, wetlands, agriculture, and conservation.
However, Eurasian cranes have returned to former breeding areas on their own, and this process may be expected to continue as long as suitable wetland habitats are protected and/or restored.

The far eastern mainland is the seat of an increasingly powerful and independent player, controlling an enormous population, while the territory of its energetic rival -- confined on several nearby islands -- and half of a small far-eastern peninsula provide a perch for American power.
Stretching between the western and eastern extremities is a sparsely populated and currently politically fluid and organizationally fragmented vast middle space that was formerly occupied by a powerful rival to US preeminence -- a rival that was once committed to the goal of pushing America out of Eurasia.
To the south of that large central Eurasian plateau lies a politically anarchic but energy-rich region of potentially great importance to both the western and the eastern Eurasian states, including in the southernmost area a highly populated aspirant to regional hegemony.

 DNA Links Europeans to Middle Eastern Farmers, Eurasian Nomads
The geneticists maintain that these Middle Easterners took their agricultural techniques north and west with them from modern-day Turkey into Eastern and Western Europe—displacing or absorbing the sparse populations of hunter-gatherers who had lived on the fringes of the retreating glaciers of the final ice age.
That theory is not consistent with a central tenet of linguists who have postulated the spread of Indo-European languages throughout Europe (and Anatolia, Iran and the Indian subcontinent) by nomads from the Yamna culture of central Eurasia after their invention of wheeled vehicles some 5,500 years ago.
New evidence for the migration of Middle Eastern farmers is laid out in a study by Alberto Piazza, a geneticist at the University of Torino, and his colleagues published in the June 20 proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
