136 long-clawed shrew skulls from Hokkaido showed the classic winter flattening of the braincase, and across the same series the snout enlarged in winter and shrank again in spring
1+ day, 13+ hour ago (595+ words) A museum series of Sorex unguiculatus from Tomakomai confirms Dehnel's winter braincase shrink in an Asian shrew, and adds a reverse pattern in the snout that the authors did not find in the jaw. By Natural History · Edited by Chris…...
Two researchers who measured real campfires report that firelight is bright enough to read a pair of hands, and argue that its flicker may be what disadvantaged gesture and favoured speech, while the fire itself can hide whoever sits opposite
1+ week, 13+ hour ago (668+ words) A review in Proceedings of the Royal Society B argues that language itself began in fireside storytelling. It brings light meters to a question that has run for years on description alone. By The Long View · Edited by Chris Jeremia…...
Archaeologists found a 1,200-year-old island in Fiji made almost entirely of discarded shellfish — created by generations of people processing food during the same centuries Maya cities flourished and Viking voyagers began crossing the North Atlantic
1+ week, 14+ hour ago (548+ words) Accumulating shellfish refuse transformed a Fijian shoreline into solid ground, revealing how ordinary people across the Pacific engineered their landscape one meal at a time.

Researchers at the University of St Andrews spent decades filming wild New Caledonian crows and documented individuals sculpting forked twigs into hooks, trimming pandanus leaves into barbed probes, and passing tool designs down family lines with variations so consistent that the birds effectively run regional traditions in stick manufacture
2+ week, 4+ day ago (644+ words) Two decades of University of St Andrews field and aviary studies have shown that New Caledonian crows manufacture hooked stick tools to specific designs, extract prey faster with them, and safeguard the ones they made. The regional consistency of the…...
Early Neanderthals were probably striking sparks to make fire in England 400,000 years ago — roughly 350,000 years earlier than the previous convincing evidence, revealed by baked earth, heat-shattered handaxes and pieces of pyrite found at Barnham.
4+ week, 1+ day ago (791+ words) A repeatedly heated patch of clay, fire-damaged tools and locally rare pyrite form the earliest convincing archaeological case for deliberate fire-making, although no human remains identify the makers directly.

In a Norwegian cave in 2025, scientists found 75,000-year-old bones of polar bears, walruses, and bowhead whales — and the remains of a species of lemming now extinct in Europe that had never been found in Scandinavia before
4+ week, 1+ day ago (918+ words) A 2025 PNAS study identified 46 vertebrate taxa in a northern Norwegian cave deposit, revealing a coastal Arctic community from roughly 85,000 to 71,000 years ago.
