Ancient teeth reveal clues to the environment humans’ early ancestors evolved in millions of years ago

Teeth are like tiny biological time capsules. They tell stories about ancient diets and environments long after their owners have died and landscapes have changed.
After bones break down, tooth enamel stays hard and unchanged, even in fossilized teeth that have been buried under sediment and rock for millions of years and are now being uncovered by erosion or excavation.
Tooth enamel forms when an animal is young, and it remains chemically stable for the rest of that animal’s life. The f

Ossoff criticizes Trump on health care, Iran, 'corruption' in Augusta

Lowering health care premiums and returning consumers to financial affordability mean electing leaders instead of rulers, the state's senior U.S. senator said during a campaign swing through Augusta on Saturday.
With public criticism mounting against the Trump administration's handling of the economy, rising health care premiums and a war with Iran, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff mounted an offensive to urge voters to fight for the ways of life he said they deserve.

Jamie Dimon sounded off on high taxes and poor quality of life being major factors in the exodus of people and businesses from blue states.
“I tell people everyone's got to compete, including cities, and for a city to compete, of course it's quality of life, it's your subways, it’s your hospitals,” Dimon said.
“But it's also individual taxes, state taxes, corporate taxes, and it drives people out,” he continued.

Summer Robert, 28, was diagnosed with macromastia at age 25. She stands 4 feet 11 inches tall and currently wears an R-cup bra. In the past year alone, she grew 11 bra sizes, a pattern her doctors say is driven by hormonal shifts.

Tourism was once an 'economic locomotive' in Cuba. Now, the train is coming off...

For decades, Cuba's tourism sector has enjoyed a reputation as an "economic locomotive" — a term used by authorities who saw it as the lifeblood of the Caribbean island country's economy.
But the industry has been in decline since its 2018 peak, and the U.S. government's squeeze on Cuba's oil supply has pushed the nation's most crucial industry closer to its breaking point.
The Trump administration has threatened to impose tariffs on countries that supply fuel to Cuba — part of an effort to strangle the com

A US-led research team has verified the first Mediterranean mass grave of the world’s earliest recorded pandemic, providing stark new details about the plague of Justinian that killed millions of people in the Byzantine empire between the sixth and eighth centuries.
The findings, published in February’s Journal of Archaeological Science, offer what researchers say is a rare empirical window into the mobility, urban life and vulnerability of citizens affected by the pestilence.
DNA taken from bodies at a mass burial ground at Jerash in modern-day Jordan show the grave represented “a single mo

Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine

For average wage earners in Russia, it's a big payday. For criminals seeking to escape the harsh conditions and abuse in prison, it's a chance at freedom. For immigrants hoping for a better life, it's a simplified path to citizenship.
All they have to do is sign a contract to fight in Ukraine.
As Russia seeks to replenish its forces in nearly four years of war — and avoid an unpopular nationwide mobilization — it's pulling out all the stops to find new troops to send into the battlefield.

When people think about agricultural pollution, they often picture what is easy to see: fertilizer spreaders crossing fields or muddy runoff after a heavy storm. However, a much more significant threat is quietly and invisibly building in the ground.
Across some of the most productive farmland in the United States, a nutrient called phosphorus has been accumulating in the soil for decades, at levels far beyond what crops actually require. While this element is essential for life-supporting root development and cellular chemistry to grow food, too much of it in the wrong places has become a gr

It's a major move into unprecedented climate conditions, the researchers say, likely to have a significant impact on Arctic plants and wildlife, and on the people who call th

Archaeologists Found Someone They Never Expected in an Ancient Chinese Tomb: a Blonde Man

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
A road project in Shanxi Province uncovered a Tang dynasty tomb from 736 AD, adorned with murals depicting daily life, including grinding flour, making pasta, and leading horses.

Scientists Intrigued by Unfamiliar Life Form

It’s a plant! It’s a fungus! It’s… an entirely new type of lifeform hitherto unknown to science?
That appears to be the case for a puzzling, spire-shaped organism that lived over 400 million years ago, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances. After ****** yzing its internal structures, the authors argue that the mystifying ancient beings known as prototaxites don’t belong to any of the existing biological kingdoms.

Back from the dead, a black hole is erupting after a 100-million-year hiatus

Inside an incredibly bright cluster of galaxies, a long-dormant supermassive black hole has come back to life. Radio images captured a one-million-light-year-long stream of star-forming particles and gas emanating from the black hole at the center of the galaxy J1007+3540—which apparently is erupting for the first time in about 100 million years.
“Although some ‘restarted’ radio galaxies are known in the literature, J1007+3540 stands out,” says lead study author Shobha ***** ari of Midnapore City College in India.

Scientists Astonished by Glimpse of Huge, Ancient Ocean on Mars

Scientists have long suspected that Mars was once teeming with water, a tropical oasis with vast river systems that may have been able to support life billions of years ago.
To get a better picture of what such a lush ocean world could’ve looked like, an international team of researchers used satellite data to simulate the sea level in a colossal geographic feature called Coprates Chasma, which is part of the Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the entire solar system.
While examining the satellite imagery, the team concl

Harry says sacrifices by Nato troops in Afghanistan deserve 'respect'

The Duke of Sussex has called for the sacrifices of Nato troops to be "spoken about truthfully and with respect", after the US president claimed allies stayed "a little back" from the front lines in Afghanistan.
"I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there," Prince Harry, who was twice deployed to the country, said on Friday as he paid tribute to Nato troops killed in the conflict, including 457 UK service personnel.
The prince was reacting to controversial comments made by Donald Trump in an

Experts issue warning about looming threat to global food supply: 'A major challenge'

Rising temperatures are turbocharging crop pest damage worldwide, The Guardian reported.
A study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment found that if global temperatures rise by 2°C (3.6°F), wheat crops could see pest-related losses increase by roughly 46%.
Maize crop losses could increase by 31%, while rice crop losses could jump by about 19%.
Bugs, including aphids, caterpillars, locusts, and planthoppers, flourish as temperatures climb.
