Reconstrucción 3D de la cara del Homo heidelbergensis



El IPHES (Instituto Catalán de Paleoecología Humana y Evolución Social) ha puesto cara, y en digitalización 3D, a la especie Homo heidelbergensis, considerado el antepasado de los neandertales, y que vivió en Europa hace unos 500.000 años. Eso ha sido posible gracias a una ayuda de la Generalitat.

El trabajo se ha basado en los fósiles encontrados en la Sima de los Huesos (Atapuerca)... El bloc de les activitats de l'IPHES

Finding Clovis

This is an archaeological adventure at the Topper Site in Allendale County, South Carolina, famous for Clovis and possibly pre-Clovis artifacts. Here, early humans were coming to ancient chert quarries, making rudimentary knives and other tools. Recent evidence found by the team lead by Dr. Al Goodyear may support the idea that a comet suddenly wiped out the Clovis Culture 13,000 years ago. World-renowned scientists offer their opinions about these significant first Americans—where they came from, how they lived, and what may have been their fate.

Prehistoric Mega Storms - Volcanic Winter

The History Channel Prehistoric Mega Storms Volcanic Winter (2010): This fascinating documentary depicts the discovery of an ancient volcanic eruption which took place 75,000 years ago in Sumatra, which brought Humanity (as well as the Neanderthal man which co-existed with Homo-Sapiens during that time) to near extinction. Such catastrophic event, of nearly apocalyptic consequences, may in fact explain why Humanity today shares so few strands of DNA, which had eluded modern scientists for decades.
