Imagine a find so profound that it forces us to question fundamental chapters in the history of life on Earth. Recently, fossilized footprints uncovered in Australia’s Victoria region are shaking the foundations of evolutionary science. These ancient impressions, dating back roughly 350 million years, predate
Archaeologists were excavating in Egypt's northern Sinai Desert when they found some intriguing things at an old site known for its historical importance. Even though this site has been known about for decades, recent work there has started to reveal parts of the past that
Seen tucked along the Salmon River, the Cooper’s Ferry site in Idaho has raised multiple eyebrows across the archaeological world. A dig in the region is uncovering artifacts that could push back the timeline of human migration in North America by thousands of years. The
Imagine an AI so advanced it delves into centuries-old spiritual manuscripts, revealing layers no human eye has fully grasped. Recently, digital whispers swept across platforms like YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok, proclaiming that an AI had translated the Tibetan Book of the Dead in a groundbreaking
Scientists from the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo have re-enacted an epic and ancient Paleolithic voyage. In 2019, they carved a 25-foot canoe (“Sugime”) from cedar using only stone-age tools, then launched it from Taiwan. Guided only by the sun, stars, and
Scientists and conservationists have been fighting to track invisible threats heating our planet for decades. One of these players is a next-generation satellite launched just a year ago, designed to put methane emissions from space on the map. But something strange has happened. The satellite
For decades we've clung to the prevailing theory that hominins originated in Africa. We've been led to believe that the discovery of hominin fossils like Sahelanthropus tchadensis was enough evidence to support this theory. However, some controversial new evidence suggests that hominins could have existed in
Six months of cautious peace, the Red Sea again saw violence in July 2025. Commercial shipping in the region experienced an unprecedented attack orchestrated by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The stability of an important corridor, often used for shipping, has been thrown into uncertainty as voices worldwide
For centuries, Egypt has been central to ancient wonders. The giant pyramids and prominent temples hold clues to early, advanced human life. However, recent discoveries in South America reveal something different about the chronology of life on Earth. A newly uncovered city in Peru is
For years, scientists believed that evolution in humans had slowed significantly in recent millennia. However, groundbreaking DNA studies are proving otherwise, revealing that our species has undergone remarkable genetic adaptations in modern history. “The human genome is much more plastic than we thought,” explains Karin
