Scientists discover the oldest wooden tools ever used by humans
Greece
Scientists have uncovered the oldest known hand-held wooden tools ever used by humans — and they’re an astonishing 430,000 years old. Buried for hundreds of thousands of years at an ancient lakeside site in Greece, the carefully carved wooden objects reveal that early humans were far more skilled and resourceful than once believed.

Scientists solve 320-million-year mystery of reptile bone armor
armor bone study
Reptiles have been growing armor in their skin on and off for hundreds of millions of years, but scientists never fully understood how it evolved. A massive new evolutionary study shows these skin bones appeared independently in multiple lizard groups rather than coming from a single armored ancestor. Even more astonishing, Australian goannas lost this armor long ago — then evolved it back again millions of years later.

New Study Solves Mystery of Tiny Theropod Dinosaur Arms
limb Dinosauria Tyrannosaurus study
Why did T. rex have tiny arms?  This is a question we get asked a lot at Everything Dinosaur.  Ironically, several, not closely related theropod lineages show forelimb reduction. Tyrannosaurus rex had famously small arms, but so did lots of other large meat-eating dinosaurs. A new study suggests that the tiny arms of some theropod

Britain’s 11,000-year-old “oldest northerner” was a 3-year-old girl, DNA reveals
DNA discovery
Scientists have identified the oldest known human remains in Northern Britain as a young girl who lived around 11,000 years ago. Found in a Cumbrian cave and nicknamed the “Ossick Lass,” she was likely between 2.5 and 3.5 years old when she died. Nearby jewelry and evidence of multiple burials suggest the cave held deep spiritual importance for some of Britain’s earliest hunter-gatherers. The discovery is shedding new light on life — and death — just after the Ice Age.
