Peculiar growths on dinosaur neckbones hint at old infection It takes much force to cough a loogie up a nearly 4-meter-long neck, but that is what one dinosaur had to do. The Guardian reports that paleontologists have discovered unusual nodules on the neck of a 150-million-year-old sauropod, proof of the first known respiratory infection in

Children’s skeletons give genomes more than 3000 years old Central Africa is far too hot and humid for ancient DNA to survive– or so scientists assumed. Currently, the bones of four children buried thousands of years earlier in a rock shelter in the grasslands of Cameroon have given enough DNA for scientists to examine. It

Pleistocene age worms found in Arctic permafrost live and eat well after being defrosted some 42,000 years later. Two ancient nematodes are moving and eating normally again for the very first time since the Pleistocene age. The roundworms were discovered frozen in the Siberian permafrost and subsequently thawed out and resuscitated in Petri dishes. These

Researchers at UCL have fixed a significant piece of the challenge that makes up the ancient Greek astronomical calculator referred to as the Antikythera Device, a hand-powered mechanical device used to predict expensive events. Understood to many as the globe’s first analog computer, the Antikythera Mechanism is the most complicated piece of design endured from
The journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences published a study from The Paleoneurology Group at the Centro Nacional de Investigación Sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) led by Emiliano Bruner. This study analyzes visual exploration patterns during handling of Lower Paleolithic tools, being the first application of the eye-tracking methodology to real stone tools. The study was

The origins of Arthur’s Stone, one of the UK’s most famous Stone Age monuments, were discovered by archaeologists from the Universities of Manchester and Cardiff. According to Manchester’s Professor Julian Thomas, who led the excavation, the ominous Herefordshire tomb links to nearby “halls of the dead” discovered in 2013. This construction inspired the ‘stone table’ in

At the Cova Gran de Santa Linya site (La Noguera, Lleida), the remains of a female attributed to H. sapiens were discovered by scientists of the Centro Nacional de Investigación Sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH). The carbon-14 record of the sediments in the natural vessel where her remains were discovered shows that she lived in
