Off the coast of the UK, magnetic fields have the potential to be a useful tool in the search for vanished human sites. There is optimism that this method might be used to uncover long-lost civilizations all across the world. A forthcoming effort will utilize magnetometry data to scour Doggerland, the flooded area of land that connected Britain to continental Europe until the end of the ice age.

Based on research in France’s Mandarin cave, in February 2022, we published a study in the journal Science Advances that pushed back the earliest evidence of the arrival of the first Homo sapiens in Europe to 54,000 years ago — 11 millennia earlier than had been previously established.

(ORDO NEWS) — At the southwestern tip of Eurasia lies the geological cul-de-sac known as the Iberian Peninsula. With the majestic Pyrenees to the north and the Pillars of Hercules to the Straits of Gibraltar to the south, this peninsula includes part of France and all of Spain and Portugal.

Proof That Neanderthals Feasted on Crabs 90,000 Years Ago – Debunks Primitive Cave Dweller Stereotypes,90,000 years ago, Neanderthals based in Portugal harvested and roasted brown crabs. Scientists studying archaeological remains at Gruta da Figueira Brava, Portugal, discovered that Neanderthals were harvesting shellfish to eat – including brown crabs, where they preferred larger specimens and coo.

2.1K opinions shared on Other topic. Silverback gorillas punch almost two and a half times as hard as Tyson did in his prime. Their muscle density is roughly four times that of a very muscular human. Their bones are roughly three times thicker and heavier meaning they can throw massive blows without fracturing their bones and they can also take what they can deal out. They weigh roughly 400 LB. You don't want to mess with one of them. They will smash your bones into dust and tear you limb from limb if they want to. Tyson would get wrecked even with very skillful fighting. It would be like putting a child in a ring with Tyson. The Gorilla would beat him senseless, and then be like sorry man I didn't know you were so fragile, come on get up and walk it off. He's a banana... If he wasn't a nice gorilla, Tyson would be dead in seconds.

Sixty thousand years ago, give or take a few millennia, bands of Neanderthals thrived in a valley in central Spain, doing everything they needed to survive generation after generation. But about 45 miles north of what is now the city of Madrid, researchers have discovered a site that makes a strong case for a totally unheard-of Neanderthal behavior.

German scientists just made a major Ьгeаktһгoᴜɡһ in sequencing the DNA of our ancient ancestors. While researchers have long relied on painstaking work and pure good luck to uncover the fossilised remains of our predecessors, a new technique has allowed scientists to pull DNA from something far more abundant: dirt.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new study suggests Neanderthals formed small, tightknit communities where females may have traveled to move in with their mates. The research used genetic sleuthing to offer a rare snapshot of Neanderthal family dynamics — including a father and his teenage daughter who lived together in Siberia more than 50,000 years ago.

Magnetic fields are promising to be a useful tool in the hunt for human settlements that have been lost to the sea off the coast of the UK. An upcoming project is set to use magnetometry data to scour Doggerland, the flooded chunk of land that connected Britain to mainland Europe until the end of the ice age, but there's hope this technique could be used to find long-lost civilizations all over the world.

Based on research in France’s Mandrin cave, in February 2022 we published a study in the journal Science Advances that pushed back the earliest evidence of the arrival of the first Homo sapiens in Europe to 54,000 years ago – 11 millennia earlier than had been previously established.

The trouble with old DNA is that it breaks down. Things like ultraviolet light and microbes quickly degrade the little helical molecules. "As soon as an organism dies, the DNA within its cells starts to break down into smaller and smaller and smaller fragments until eventually there's there's nothing left," says Beth Shapiro, Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California - Santa Cruz.

The Brenaissance is officially upon us. After garnering standing ovations on the festival circuit, and accolades throughout the 2023 awards season, Brendan Fraser won Best Actor at the 2023 Oscars for his performance in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale. While DC comics fans were disappointed to learn his role as Firefly...

If you've attended a public event in person or online lately - say, a theatrical performance, academic lecture or even a corporate meeting - you've probably heard this sort of statement at the start. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: We want to acknowledge that the land where the...

Researchers initially assumed Neanderthals were brutish, hairy thugs capable only of crude thought and bloody hunting. But some scientists have changed their tune as evidence has accumulated of some surprisingly human-like characteristics among these human ancestors. Neanderthals used tools in domestic and hunting contexts, flaking rocks to create weapons, scrapers,...

Imagine that you have an unhealthy interest in your neighbours’ lives. Unable to ask them directly, you rifle through their rubbish bins. You find the bones of cooked chickens and try and work out what else they eat. This is a bit like how archaeologists study the diets of...

In the study, we described nine fossil teeth excavated from all the archeological layers in the cave. Eight were determined to be from Neanderthals, but one from one of the middle layers belonged to a paleolithic Homo sapiens. Based on this and other data, we determined that these early Homo sapiens of Europe were later replaced by Neanderthal populations.

It is a truism to say that the Academy loves a comeback, but at this year’s Oscars it reached a fever pitch: all four acting awards were won by screen veterans who, until now, had never won – or even been nominated for – an Academy Award.
