The face of one of the earliest known Homo sapiens, the oldest known human, has been revealed 300,000 years after his death. The Jebel Irhoud fossils, discovered in Morocco, have pushed back the timeline of Homo sapiens by 100,000 years, revealing that our ancestors spread across Africa much earlier than previously thought.

The Denisovans are an extinct species of ancient human that lived at the same time and in the same places as Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Only a handful of Denisovan remains have ever been discovered by archaeologists. Little is known about the group, including when they became extinct, but evidence exists to suggest they interbred with both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

Measurements from the LHCb collaboration expand scientific understanding of how individual quarks assemble to form observable matter. Research from the Large Hadron Collider has unveiled that quarks, the primary components of visible matter, form composite particles differently based on environmental conditions. This discovery challenges the previously held belief that baryon production from quarks is uniform, pointing to a need for revised theoretical models to explain matter formation under varying densities.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed mysterious objects in the early universe that challenge current theories of galaxy and supermassive black hole evolution. These objects contain old stars and massive black holes, much larger than expected, suggesting a rapid and unconventional form of early galaxy formation. The findings highlight significant discrepancies with existing models, and the objects’ unique properties indicate a complex early cosmic history.

For the first time, scientists have discovered a cave on the moon, estimated to be at least 100 meters deep. This discovery could be pivotal for establishing a permanent human base on the lunar surface, offering protection from radiation, extreme temperatures, and space weather. Researchers believe this cave is just one of potentially hundreds hidden in an “underground, undiscovered world.”
