The recent discovery of a neolithic bone spoon shows prehistoric mothers drove population growth 7500 years ago. Another reminder not to take your mother for granted.

On level 3 – the key find was 35 crania of large herbivores, all from species with antlers or horns. Most were from aurochs and bison; five were deer; and two were narrow-nosed rhinoceroses (a now-extinct species that liked the same terrain as said vole before going extinct about 40,000 years ago
The archaeologists didn’t find the animals’ jaws and teeth in the cave. However, over a third of the crania they did find still had their antlers or horns, as well as the eye and nose bones. They were missing their cheekbones, though
Scientists speculate why with no consensus on the reason.
This work examines the possible behaviour of Neanderthal groups at the Cueva Des-Cubierta (central Spain) via the analysis of the latter’s archaeological assemblage. Alongside evidence of Mousterian lithic industry.
Level 3 of the cave infill was found to contain an assemblage of mammalian bone remains dominated by the crania of large ungulates, some associated with small hearths. The scarcity of post-cranial elements, teeth, mandibles and maxillae, along with evidence of anthropogenic modification of the crania (cut and percussion marks), indicates that the carcasses of the corresponding animals were initially processed outside the cave, and the crania were later brought inside.
This behaviour seems to have no subsistence-related purpose but to be more symbolic in its intent.

Yesterday my mom said we were going on a cave tour but we ended up going to a Racism Museum and then driving a golf cart on long sidewalks for 5 minutes of looking down into a canyon (there was no going into a cave)

Sciences et Avenir: Outils de près de 3 millions d'années trouvés au Kenya : pourquoi cette découverte est "extraordinaire"
Sciences et Avenir: Outils de près de 3 millions d'années trouvés au Kenya : pourquoi cette découverte est "extraordinaire".
La région des grands lacs semble avoir été peuplée par les hominidés dès les origines.
De plus, il paraît, au regard de ces découvertes, que la main comme outil libérant l'esprit des premiers des hommes ne serait pas si éloignée de la station debout ou semi-debout...

You know what it's time for?
WEIRD SHARKS THAT'S WHAT IT'S TIME FOR
(IDs are in the image descriptions)
Pocket Shark
Tumblr media
Pocket sharks are named for two small pocket glands appearing behind their pectoral fins. These glands are theorized to be luminous. Pocket sharks look like tiny, tiny sperm whales.
Angular Roughshark
Tumblr media
Also called the pig-faced shark or the pig fish, angular roughsharks grow to be about 3 feet 4 in long on average. I personally think they're more bat-faced.
Goblin Shark
Tumblr media
Found in the deep sea, goblin sharks are known for being able to extend their jaws like a grabber tool made of teeth. Wikipedia says that these sharks' "flabby bodies" suggest that they are sluggish in nature.
Cookiecutter Shark
Tumblr media
The cookiecutter shark only grows to about 20 inches in length, but that doesn't stop it from biting into orcas, great whites, or humans. It suctions onto its meal with its lips and then goes to town. It removes perfect circles of flesh, hence its name.
Wobeggong Shark
Tumblr media
Wobeggong refers to twelve species of carpet shark, so-named for their resemblance to a shag rug. They dwell on the bottom of the sea floor and wait for smaller fish to swim nearby.
Swell Shark
Tumblr media
Swell sharks like to hide in crevices of algae-covered rocks, waiting for prey to swim by. They are so named not because they're really swell (though they are) but because as a defense mechanism, they can swell up to double their size by swallowing sea water.
Greenland Shark
Tumblr media
The Greenland shark has high concentrations of urea in its body. It is theorized to have a lifespan of 250 to 500 years, and it can grow up to 23 feet long. Greenland sharks have been found with moose and reindeer in their stomachs. Because of the shark's toxic levels of urea, its flesh must be fermented or otherwise treated before consumption.
Viper Dogfish
Tumblr media
Like the goblin shark, the viper dogfish's jaws can protude from the rest of its head, though its coloring means the viper dogfish looks significantly more Xenomorphish when doing so. This small shark is a member of the lanternshark family, and its underside glows.
Pointy-Nosed Blue Chimaera
Tumblr media
Also know as the abyssal ghostshark, this deep sea shark has a venomous spine on its dorsal fin used for defense.
Genie's Dogfish Shark
Tumblr media
Genie's dogfish shark is a small species found in the gulf of Mexico and the west Atlantic Ocean. It has real life anime eyes.
Ninja Lanternshark
Tumblr media
The ninja lanternshark is a small bioluminescent shark. It is all black except for white markings around its eyes and mouth. It reaches about a foot and a half in length.
Frilled Shark
Tumblr media
The frilled shark is sometimes called a living fossil, as it is basically unchanged in the past 80 million years. They are named for their teeth, which each have three points.
Epaulette Shark
Tumblr media
Epaulette sharks are named for the large spots behind their pectoral fins. These sharks frequently visit tidal pools and have adapted to long periods of oxygen deprivation by shutting down non-essential neural functions. Epaulette sharks often "walk" with their fins on the sea floor rather than swim.
Horn Shark
Tumblr media
Similar to the epaulette sharks, horn sharks like to walk on the sea floor with their fins. However, these sharks have sharp spines to deter predators.
This Ridiculousness
Tumblr media
A prehistoric shark, helicoprion lived 20 million years ago and was apparently part buzzsaw. A fossil unearthed in Idaho in 2014 showed that these sharks had no teeth in their upper jaw, and a whorl of teeth in their lower jaw. It's a shame Junji Ito wasn't introduced to this shark during the writing of Uzumaki.
