WEBPaleolithic Humans Caused Extinction of Dwarf Hippos and Elephants on Cyprus. Around 3,000-7,000 hunter-gatherers on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus hunted endemic dwarf hippopotamus (Phanourios minor) and dwarf elephants (Palaeoloxodon cypriotes) to extinction within less than 1,000 years, according to …

WEB5 days ago · The living coelacanth Latimeria is an iconic ‘living fossil’ within one of the most apparently conservative groups of vertebrates. Now, paleontologists have described a new species of primitive coelacanth from a fossil found in the Late Devonian Gogo Formation in Western Australia. Named Ngamugawi wirngarri, the 375-million-year-old fossil ...
Scientists Discover Impenetrable Barrier 11,500 km above Earth
WEBNov 27, 2014 · Next ». A group of researchers headed by Prof Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics has discovered a nearly impenetrable barrier some 11,500 km above our planet that blocks so-called ‘killer electrons,’ which can fry satellites and degrade space systems during intense solar storms.

WEBSep 18, 2024 by News Staff. Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the Universe’s dark matter. In this scenario, their abundance would be large enough for at least one object to cross through the inner Solar System per decade. A flyby like this would introduce a wobble into Mars’ orbit, to a degree that today’s ...
