Stone Age hunter-gatherers may have been surprisingly skilled seafarers New archaeological finds in Malta add to an emerging theory that early Stone Age humans cruised the open seas.

Stone tools, animal bones and other artifacts unearthed in Malta indicate that humans first inhabited the island 8,5kbp, about a 1k years earlier than previously thought. To reach Malta, these hunter-gatherers crossed at least 100 kilometers of open oceanโšฑ๏ธ๐Ÿบ

Fertility is significantly dropping in the east and most European countries even in India is down to 2.0.
I donโ€™t need a lesson on climate change all Iโ€™m saying is we should be open to all avenues in saving and recreating ecosystems knowing humanities deficiencies

Exactly thereโ€™s such as small percentage of people that give a shit about biodiversity on the planet so imo having the technology to resurrect species in order to boost lost ecosystems should be developed alongside long term education of populations that are responsible

Devon's ancient cream tea discovery solved Devon archaeologists uncover a fossilised cream tea, settling the cream and jam debate.

the fossil was found embedded in a layer of granite, alongside what appears to be a primitive butter knife made of flint, leading researchers to theorise that early Devonians were enjoying cream teas long before their Cornish neighbours.
