Ancient Human Remains Reveal Brutal 4,000-Year-Old Massacre in Somerset
A recent discovery in Somerset has uncovered a dark chapter of British prehistory. Researchers found 4,000-year-old human remains at Charterhouse Warren, with over 3,000 bone fragments belonging to at least 37 individuals. Evidence shows brutal acts such as scalping, decapitation, evisceration, and signs of cannibalism. Experts suggest these violen...

New Synthetic Antioxidant Inspired by 'Conan the Bacterium' Could Shield Humans from Radiation
Researchers have developed a synthetic antioxidant inspired by Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium" for its ability to survive extreme radiation levels. This lab-made compound, called manganese-dependent peptide (MDP), combines manganese ions, phosphate ions, and a peptide from D. radiodurans to neutralise harmful ra...

37,000-Year-Old Ritual Gathering Space Discovered in Israel’s Manot Cave
Researchers have uncovered a 37,000-year-old chamber in Israel's Manot Cave, believed to have hosted ritual gatherings. The space features a carved boulder and deer antler linked to spiritual practices during the Aurignacian period. Natural acoustics and ash traces suggest torch-lit ceremonies involving up to 100 participants. Radiometric dating co...

Asteroids Impacting Neutron Stars May Be the Cause of Fast Radio Bursts
Research suggests asteroid impacts on neutron stars may be the cause of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs). These collisions release enormous energy and match observed FRB frequency. Scientists believe interstellar objects colliding with neutron stars could account for their rate and occurrence, while repeating FRBs may stem from asteroid belts. O...

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...

Polar Bears in Alaska Face Rising Pathogen Threats Due to Climate Change
Polar bears in the Chukchi Sea are increasingly exposed to pathogens like Toxoplasma gondii, brucellosis, and canine distemper due to warming climates. Researchers revealed a significant rise in pathogen antibodies in polar bears since the 1990s, linking this trend to reduced sea ice, altered diets, and human interaction. The findings raise concern...

New Study Links Ancient Mega Settlements with Modern Human Development
Researchers at Kiel University have introduced a groundbreaking method linking ancient settlements to the Human Development Index. Published in Open Archaeology, the study examines the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture (5050-2950 BCE) in modern-day Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. These 320-hectare societies displayed advanced equality and innovation, with ...

Advanced 3D Fossil Scans Provide Clues to the Origins of Bipedalism in Human Evolution
A new study published in the American Journal of Primatology uses advanced 3D scanning technology to examine fossilized bones and muscle insertion points, shedding light on the evolution of bipedalism in human ancestors. Led by Professor Josep M. Potau from the University of Barcelona, the research suggests that early hominins, like Australopithecu...

ISRO Reveals How Many Astronauts Will Be Hosted on the Bharatiya Antariksh Station: Report
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced plans for the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), a space station designed to advance India’s space exploration efforts. Initially, the BAS will support a crew of three astronauts, with plans to expand this capacity to six in the future. The station will serve as a platform for a variety...
