How did humans become human? Understanding when, where and in what environmental conditions our early ancestors lived is central to solving the puzzle of human evolution. Unfortunately, pinning down a timeline of early human evolution has long been difficult – but ancient volcanic eruptions in East Africa may hold the key. Our new study, published in Proceedings of National Academy …

A number of ancient tunnels which were discovered in South America have been found not to come from humans. You may think nothing of it, but the fact that they’re about 1.8 metres in height and about 600 metres in length may grab your attention. These tunnels have been found in souther Brazil, particularly the Grande do Sul region, originally …

People living on islands in Southeast Asia were not just getting by 40,000 years ago. They were heading into deep water and coming back with big, fast fish. Organic boats and ropes usually rot away, so direct proof is rare. What survives are tools, fish bones, and clues in microscopic wear on stone edges. Riczar Fuentes of Ateneo …

For centuries, humans have sought the ultimate answer: How long can we truly live? Some looked to genetics, others to disciplined diets or meditation. Now, modern science is uncovering secrets hidden deep within our bodies. By analysing thousands of blood tests and activity patterns from wearable devices, researchers have found a surprising clue—one that goes beyond avoiding disease or following …

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, …

The mysterious discovery of massive underground tunnels in Brazil and Argentina has challenged long-held assumptions about prehistoric environments. These sprawling burrows, first spotted by Heinrich Frank, a professor of geology, are far too vast and complex to have been created by natural geological processes or early human activity. According to a 2018 study published in Science Advances, the leading theory …

NEW YORK (AP) — Armen Kirakosian remembers the frustrations of his first job as a call center agent nearly 10 years ago: the aggravated customers, the constant searching through menus for information and the notes he had to physically write for each call he handled. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the 29-year-old from Athens, Greece, is no longer writing notes or …
