Neanderthals who lived 50,000 years ago were infected with three viruses that still affect modern humans today, researchers have discovered....
Lice are incredibly specialized to their habitats; a type that evolved to grasp human head hair wouldn’t survive among human pubic hair, for example. But before our ancestors lost their fur, those lice probably roamed all over their bodies. So, by looking at DNA to unravel the evolutionary history of lice, scientists have...

Indigenous people entered North America at least four times between 12,000 and 24,000 years ago, bringing their languages with them, a new linguistic model indicates. The model correlates with archaeological, climatological and genetic data, supporting the idea that populations in early North America were dynamic and diverse....
Mexico’s Taam Ja’ Blue Hole is the deepest known underwater sinkhole in the world, researchers have discovered — and they haven’t even reached the bottom yet....
It would appear that the so-called “great instability” event that wreaked chaos among the planets, sending the gas giants careening through space until they settled into the orbits we know today, occurred between 60 and 100 million years after the birth of the solar system. This is the conclusion of some careful scientific...

The phenomenon of hearing intelligible voices or noises in meaningless background noise is known as “auditory pareidolia.” The sources of this noise vary; they may include electric fans; running water; airplane engines; the hums of washing machines; or white-noise machines, according to audiologists. It is an auditory...
It’s great that this article linked to the original journal article. Nice that it’s open access, too! So good to see that it’s becoming more common. The academic publishing business is just so… well, in a word, fucked.
Con la natura delle due componenti più sfuggenti dell’universo in discussione, i fisici hanno proposto un’idea radicale: particelle invisibili chiamate tachioni, che interrompono la causalità e si muovono più velocemente della luce, potrebbero dominare il cosmo.
