China Loses 26 Percent of Its Glaciers Due to Global Warming, Claims New Study
China's glaciers have shrunk by 26 percent over six decades, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers disappearing. Data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that glacier area dropped from 59,000 sq km in the 1960s to 46,000 sq km by 2020. Scientists warn that continued ice loss could worsen water shortages. Authorities are trying to slow the proce...

Homo Juluensis Discovered: A New Chapter in Middle Pleistocene Human Evolution
A newly discovered species, Homo juluensis, has been identified from fossils found in China, dating back between 220,000 and 100,000 years ago. The fossils, unearthed at Xujiayao and Xuchang, feature large skulls with a unique blend of Neanderthal, Denisovan and modern human traits. Researchers, including Christopher Bae from the University of Hawa...

Human Sense of Smell Detects Scent Changes Faster Than Previously Thought, Study Finds
A recent study led by Dr Wen Zhou from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that humans can detect changes in smells much faster than previously believed. Participants demonstrated the ability to discern the order of scents with impressive accuracy, even at intervals as short as 40 milliseconds. This finding suggests that our olfactory system is...
