Evidence continues to mount against the interpretation of a cave filled with ancient hominid bones as a sacred burial ground, one used long before modern humans were burying their own dead.



					
			

The Rising Star Cave system in South Africa contains the remains of an unusually high number of individuals of the hominid species Homo naledi that lived around 300,000 years ago, and their peculiar deposition has continued to puzzle scientists.
Then, last year, a bombshell dropped. A team led by paleoanthropologist Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand published a preprint making the jaw-dropping claim that the burials were deliberate, a...

Did This Ancient Species Really Bury Its Dead Before Modern Humans?

Most of us don’t usually think of dogs as being able to climb trees — that skill belongs to animals like squirrels and cats. Dogs were bred to chase animals into trees rather than scale them. Plus, most dogs simply do not have the limber bodies required for agile acrobatics as cats do. But did […]

Tiny fragments of microplastics are making their way deep inside our bodies in concerning quantities, significantly through our food and drink.
Scientists have recently found a simple and effective means of removing them from water.



					
			

A team from Guangzhou Medical University and Jinan University in China ran tests on both soft water and hard tap water (which is richer in minerals), adding in nanoplastics and microplastics (NMPs) before boiling the liquid and then filtering out any precipitates.
In some cases, up to 90 percent of the NMPs were removed by the boiling and filtering process, though the effectiveness varied based on the type...

The history of different species of pigs is as varied as the diverse diet they maintain. Micro pigs, or teacup pigs, don't actually exist, and restricting a pig's nutritional needs to keep them tiny is sadly a cruel reality that some pigs face.And while "eating like a pig" has some merit for pigs whose weight exceeds several hundred pounds, what exactly does a pig eat?With the sadistic pork industry portraying one image to the public, the micro pig cafe industry portraying another, and rescued pigs at sanctuaries consuming pumpkins by the dozen, what exactly do pigs naturally eat? Plus, when...

Homo floresiensis holds the record for the smallest human species to have ever graced our planet, but some of them might have been even smaller than we first imagined.

If you've got a high school yearbook you can flick through, you might find that the least attractive people run a slightly higher risk of living a comparatively shorter life, according to a new study.



					
			

Researchers in the US analyzed the fates of thousands of teenagers who graduated high school in the US in the late 1950s, to take a closer look at how looks might be linked to mortality risk.
It's not implausible that features we find attractive might convey information about our state of health. Past research has identified links between our immune systems and ratings of beauty.
