The human body is made up of a complex community of trillions of cells of diverse shapes and sizes, all working together to keep you alive. The smallest of these cells, like platelets and red blood cells, are dwarfed by massive muscle cells. When it comes to size, it’s like comparing a shrew to a blue whale.
Now, after collecting data on all of the major types of cells in the body, researchers have revealed a familiar mathematical pattern in
Human ancestors nearly died out between around 930,000 to 813,000 years ago in an evolutionarily pivotal population bust, a contested new study concludes.
This potential winnowing of human ancestors into a barely sustainable number of survivors coincided with a period of extreme cold and extended droughts in Africa and Eurasia, previous geologic evidence indicates.
If the new DNA-derived scenario holds up, relatively few survivors of the Stone Age big chill may have evolved into a species ancestral to Homo sapiens
Die Ikone der Achtzigerjahre, Phil Oakey, entging letzten Donnerstag auf der Bühne in Dublin nur knapp einem peinlichen Missgeschick.
In Aufnahmen seines Finales, dem Welthit „Electric Dreams“, ist zu sehen, wie er deutlich ausrutscht und sich abstützen muss, wobei er dabei ziemlich verlegen wirkt.
Er fand jedoch schnell die Fassung, um das Lied nahtlos wieder aufzunehmen, wie in dem exklusiv von Express.co.uk erhaltenen Clip zu sehen ist.
Sein Stolpern ereignete sich nur wenige Minuten, nachdem er auf der nassen Bühne
Scientists may have discovered a new human species for a second time this week.
Anthropologists in France found a 45,000-year-old pelvic bone of an infant, which is neither a match to Neanderthals nor Homo sapiens.
The hip bone was found with the remains of 11 Neanderthals in the Grotte du Renne cave, later settled by anatomically modern humans (AMHs), suggesting the child coexisted with the now extinct species.
The artifact was compared against two Neanderthal and 32 modern baby bones,
Antibiotic resistance – one of the biggest threats to global health – could be on the rise in part because of increased air pollution, a new study has warned.
Researchers in China have found a global correlation between the a pollutant called PM2.5 in the air and cases of bacteria becoming immune to antibiotic drugs.
Although they’re not certain what’s causing the link, they speculate that antibiotic resistant bacteria are being transported on PM2.5 carried by the air.
PM2.5 are
New York City officials have a mystery on their hands after a possible human limb was discovered floating off Staten Island on Sunday by a tugboat worker.
The New York City Police Department responded to a 911 call just after 11 a.m. on Sunday for a report of what looked like human remains floating in the water.
The extremity, according to police, was found in Great Kills Harbor on the southeastern side of the borough and appeared to be the
Scientists may have identified a new species of human after investigating a skull belonging to an ancient child.
A new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution has attempted to shed light on the fossilised remains recovered from Hualongdong, China, in 2019 that did not appear to fit with any known human lineage.
Archaeologists uncovered a fossilised leg, skull and jawbone, with the latter two items proving the most puzzling.
They said the features exhibited by the skull and
Scientists believe they may have identified a new species of human after finding
Michael Smith, the world’s No. 1-ranked darts player, has won the equivalent of $1.5 million since the start of 2022. In January, he won the World Darts Championship in London, where he achieved the rare feat of nine perfect throws in a row. He says he hasn’t reached the peak of his abilities and is “getting better every year.”
But of course, he isn’t always perfect, or even close to it. When Smith aims for the triple 20 — the
Cyprus’ veterinarians association on Friday lauded a government decision to allow its stock of human coronavirus medication to be used on cats to fight a local mutation of a feline virus that has killed thousands of animals on the Mediterranean island.
The association said in a statement that it had petitioned the government for access to the medication at “reasonable prices” from the beginning of this year, when the mutation that causes lethal Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) began to noticeably
