A project led by the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History has excavated the Panga ya Saidi cave site in the coastal hinterland of Kenya. The excavations and analyses, announced in Nature Communications, represent the longest archaeological sequence in East Africa over the last 78,000 years and show early cultural innovations. The evidence ...
New archaeological evidence shows that humans were living in the Philippines by 709,000 years ago — hundreds of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Stone artifacts were found by an international team of researchers, including Dr. Gerrit “Gert” van den Bergh, from University of Wollongong’s Centre for Archaeological Science, at an excavation at Kalinga on Luzon, ...
The first whole-genome analyses of ancient human DNA from Southeast Asia reveal that there were at least three major waves of human migration into the region over the last 50,000 years. The research, published online on May 17 in Science, complements what is known from archaeological, historical, and linguistic studies of Southeast Asia, defined as ...
Are we truly the first advanced Earthlings to inhabit this forth rock from the sun? Imagine if, many millions of years ago, dinosaurs drove cars through cities of mile-high buildings. A preposterous idea, right? Over the course of tens of millions of years, however, all of the direct evidence of a civilization — its artifacts ...
UTA researcher Naomi Cleghorn has participated in a Nature paper that describes how humans thrived in South Africa through the Toba volcanic eruption about 74,000 years ago, which created a decades-long volcanic winter. The scientific team found microscopic glass shards that had traveled nearly 9,000 kilometers from the eruption site and landed in the archaeological sediments of ...
Masazo Nonaka from Hokkaido, Japan, has been declared by Guinness World Records as the oldest living man in the world. His long life has currently lasted 112 years. Masazo received the award and certificate for his incredible record from Erika Ogawa, the V.P. Japan of Guinness World Records, on April 10, 2018. Erika visited Masazo ...
UTA researcher Naomi Cleghorn has participated in a Nature paper that describes how humans thrived in South Africa through the Toba volcanic eruption about 74,000 years ago, which created a decades-long volcanic winter. Cleghorn, a UTA associate professor of sociology and anthropology, said: “We have demonstrated that in two sites along the south coast of South Africa that ...
Starbucks patrons reflect the findings in a new study analyzing behavior patterns of people across China suggests that the traditional interdependent rice-farming culture of southern China has resulted in today’s residents — even city dwellers far removed from farming — being more interdependent and less controlling over their environment compared to their countrymen who hail from ...
Evidence that humans can genetically adapt to diving has been identified for the first time in a new study. The evidence suggests that the Bajau, a people group indigenous to parts of Indonesia, have genetically enlarged spleens that enable them to free dive to depths of up to 70 m. It has previously been hypothesized ...
New research by scientists shows that when cellular barriers are exposed to metal nanoparticles, cellular messengers are released that may cause damage to the DNA of developing brain cells. The discovery may have implications for the development of potential drug targets in the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Nanoparticles are ...
