NEANDERTHALS MORE OLDER THAN CURRENT THOUGHT.
A new claim by scientists is suggesting neanderthals were tens of thousands instead of 1,000 in current thought.In a new way to examine ancient d.n.a they found neanderthals and denisovans diverged from each other early than believed.
Cannibals engraved bones of the dead
TA series of zig-zag marks on a human bone found in a UK cave is evidence of a cannibalistic ritual that took place some 15,000 years ago.
Scientists have long recognised that cannibals operated at Gough’s Cave in Somerset, but were unsure whether the practice of eating other people had any symbolic significance.
Reporting in the journal Plos One, researchers say the unusual cuts on a forearm bone are deliberate.hey are not simple butchery markings.
Nor are they teeth marks.
What is more, the zig-zags appear to match designs used on other engraved objects from the same time period.
"The engraved motif on the Gough's Cave bone is similar to engravings observed in other Magdalenian European sites," said Silvia Bello from London’s Natural History Museum.
"However, what is exceptional in this case is the choice of raw material (human bone) and the cannibalistic context in which it was produced.
"The sequence of modifications performed on this bone suggests that the engraving was a purposeful component of the cannibalistic practice, rich in symbolic connotations.
"Although in previous analyses we have been able to suggest that cannibalism at Gough's Cave was practiced as a symbolic ritual, this study provides the strongest evidence for this yet."
Gough's Cave is situated in the Cheddar Gorge, a deep limestone canyon on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills.
Palaeo-investigations first started there more than 100 years ago. It is famous for the discovery in 1903 of "Cheddar Man", the complete skeleton of a male individual dating to about 10,000 years ago.
In 2011, Dr Bello and colleagues presented three skull cases that they said could have been used as drinking vessels.
The braincases had been fashioned in such a meticulous way that their use as bowls to hold liquid seemed the only reasonable explanation.
That interpretation looks even more likely now given the latest research.
The forearm comprises two large bones - the radius and the ulna. In this case, it is a radial bone that the scientists have been studying.
It shows signs of being disarticulated, filleted and chewed - but the zig-zags look nothing like the damage you would expect from these action

Alien stinging catfish in UK river
Eight clarias catfish, also known as walking catfish, were recovered from the River Tonge by the Environment Agency.
The shock find came after a woman was stung by one when she was fishing near Radcliffe Road in Darcy Lever near Bolton.
They have spines that can penetrate the skin and they can also ‘walk’ using their pectoral fins.
The African species can also breathe air through their mouths and not via their gills.
They use their front pectoral fins to move between different bodies of water on land, in almost a walking fashion and can survive out of water for upwards of 30 minutes.
Angler stung on finger by alien catfish
Gaynor Greene, aged 33, was fishing on Thursday when she encountered a large number of the fish and when she touched it was caught by one of its spines.

Facebook shuts down robots after they invent their own language
Facebook shut down a pair of its artificial intelligence robots after they invented their own language.
Researchers at Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research built a chatbot earlier this year that was meant to learn how to negotiate by mimicking human trading and bartering.
But when the social network paired two of the programs, nicknamed Alice and Bob, to trade against each other, they started to learn their own bizarre form of communication.
The chatbot conversation "led to divergence from human language as the agents developed their own language for negotiating," the researchers said.
