Scientists have found evidence of a lost continent off Australias northern coast that was home to half a million people around 70,000 years ago.

The walrus research conclusions are much better supported, less biased by climate change rhetoric, and lack the hubris present in the polar bear paper

Evidence is growing that humans have been in North America for thousands of years longer than scientists had thought.

Footprints scattered across what is now the desert of New Mexico were trod by human feet no earlier than 21,500 years ago, new research has confirmed.

Magdalenians, an early hunter-gatherer culture widespread around Europe, ate their loved ones simply to dispose of their bodies, report experts at the Natural History Museum in London.

The fossilized footprints in New Mexico are at least 21,500 years old, corroborating a momentous 2021 result.

New tests on the millennia-old footprints confirm their age. But some debates on the first humans to live in the Americas will continue.

Ancient human footprints from White Sands National Park were previously dated to 21,000 to 23,000 years old, putting them in the last ice age. Now, new tests confirm that estimate.

Fossilized human footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico are every bit as old as the 23,000 years-and-change they were dated at in 2021, according to new analysis published in Science.

Climate history clearly shows that we're living in a blessed time, and that past civilizations generally prospered during warm periods and declined during cold ones.
