20,000-Year-Old Transport Marks in New Mexico Reveal Early American Mobility
Drag marks found at White Sands National Park indicate that early Americans used wooden travois to transport goods over 20,000 years ago. The markings, alongside human footprints, resemble structures later used by Indigenous groups. Experimental archaeology confirmed that similar marks could be replicated using wooden poles, reinforcing the idea th...

Upheaval Dome: Utah’s Mysterious Crater That Still Puzzles Scientists
Upheaval Dome in Utah, a rock formation with ridged, concentric circles, continues to spark debate among scientists. Some believe it formed due to a meteorite impact 60 million years ago, citing the presence of shocked quartz crystals. Others argue that underground salt deposits pushed upward, creating the structure. While the impact hypothesis has...

Wild Baboons Fail Mirror Test, Raising Questions on Animal Self-Awareness
A study found that wild baboons fail to recognise themselves in mirrors. Researchers placed mirrors near water sources in Namibia’s Tsaobis Nature Park and projected laser dots onto the baboons’ faces and bodies. While 64 percent responded to marks on visible limbs, only one out of 51 reacted to facial markings in the mirror. The findings sugge...

Rare Pterosaur Neck Bone Discovery Shows Crocodilian Bite From 76 Million Years Ago
A fossilised neck bone from a juvenile Cryodrakon boreas has been unearthed in Alberta, showing evidence of a crocodilian bite. The discovery highlights predator-prey dynamics from 76 million years ago, where ancient crocodilians preyed on or scavenged young pterosaurs. This specimen, identified through micro-CT scans, provides rare evidence of int...

Meet Quaestio Simpsonorum: The Oldest Asymmetrical Animal Found in Australia
A recent study has identified Quaestio simpsonorum, a 555-million-year-old asymmetrical animal found in Australia’s Nilpena Ediacara National Park. This creature, which moved like a primitive vacuum cleaner, featured a unique backward question-mark shape on its back, representing a significant evolutionary development. Fossilised tracks suggest i...
