Human Footprint

Humans trod the landscape of North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought, according to new research that confirms antiquity of fossilized footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico using two further dating approaches.

Scientists expressed concern that an "ethical quagmire" might soon arise when individuals or perhaps entire ethnic groups could be tracked using the genetic remains of humans.

With increasing amounts of greenhouse gas by different human activities, it is important to take the initiative to reduce it.

Footprints dating back 23,000 years have been discovered in the United States, suggesting humans settled North America long before the end of the last Ice Age, research published Thursday showed.

NASA has shared the historic image of man's first step on Moon on the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. The image shows Neil Armstrong's left footprint on the surface of the Moon.

Around 120,000 years ago in what is now northern Saudi Arabia, a small band of homo sapiens stopped to drink and forage at a shallow lake that was also frequented by camels, buffalo, and elephants bigger than any species seen today.

While some people might find comfort in the idea of living on digitally after they die, data experts warn that holes in data protection laws make it possible to virtually resurrect someone without their permission.

Global warming and pollution caused by humanity's carbon-heavy footprint are ravaging Earth's oceans and icy regions in ways that could unleash misery on a global scale, a landmark UN report to be unveiled next week will warn.

A human followed quite literally in the sloth's footsteps. "Given the arid environment, there is quite a narrow amount of time you can walk on that surface to record your footprint," said Matteo Belvedere, a scientist with Switzerland's Paleontology A16 project who specializes in trackways and was not involved with this research.

RCom said it will be "optimising its 2G and 3G footprint, and related infrastructure and human resources" with effect from November 30, without elaborating further.

Scientists have discovered human-like footprints in the Greek island Crete - dating back to 5.7 million years, which suggests that human ancestors may have existed in Europe at the same time as they evolved in Africa.

The footprints weave intricate paths across the desolate landscape. Some tracks race straight toward an unseen finish line; others meander, the outlines of their ancient owners' toes and curves of their arches carved deeply into the sun-baked earth.

Smoking leaves its "footprint" on the human genes for more than 30 years, scientists have found, suggesting that people may be at risk of cancers, stroke and other diseases, even decades after kicking the butt.

The results were published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics.

The stench of clogged toilets fills the air at the US capital's wastewater treatment facility. And for good reason -- it's one of the world's largest projects to transform human waste into electricity.
