gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-17 18:45:44

Stone tools may hint at ancestors of Homo floresiensis

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-30 14:32:24

Some stone tools found near a river on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suggest that the first hominins had reached the islands by at least 1.04 million years ago. That's around the same time that the ancestors of the infamously diminutive “Hobbits” may have reached the island of Flores. Archaeologist Budianto Hakim of Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency and his colleagues were the ones who recently unearthed the tools from a site on Sulawesi.

Everything to Remember Before Watching ‘Alien: Earth’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-01 09:00:56

One of the best things about the new show, Alien: Earth, is that you do not need to be an Alien superfan to enjoy it. It’s not dependent on the plots of the seven-plus films in the franchise and is only connected to them in a few tangential ways. For now, at least. Nevertheless, there are a few things worth keeping in mind as we get closer to the August 12 debut. Here they are. The overview The Alien franchise began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s film, Alien.

One of the biggest challenges facing Baltimore is blight. For decades, the city has grappled with population loss, leaving behind thousands of vacant homes and empty lots that scar neighborhoods. These empty spaces not only serve as a constant reminder of visible decline, but also drain city coffers and undermine community safety. Both the city and the state have launched ambitious initiatives to tackle this very problem. But what if the government’s own policies were quietly making the problem

Making Roman concrete produces as much CO2 as modern concrete

Builders in ancient Rome used a special kind of ancient concrete to construct their aqueducts, bridges, and buildings. But is Roman concrete more sustainable than the Portland cement used in today's concrete? The answer is more nuanced than one might think, according to a new paper published in the journal iScience.
