They determined that the mysterious group in Siberia’s Altai area was a mixture between two distinct groups that lived in Siberia during the last Ice Age. The Altai – situated between […]

(Natural News) An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long […]

(Natural News) You may find yourself without a home and in the wilderness following a disaster or after SHTF. Personal hygiene items are often taken for granted and overlooked by survivalists and preppers.

This, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, gave them a distinct advantage compared to Neanderthals. Researchers from Italy and Japan examined how the pieces were used by modern […]

(Natural News) Scientists recently found evidence of an unknown ancestor of humans whose DNA is present even in people living today. Their findings, published in the journal Plos Genetics, were derived from a novel algorithm that allowed scientists to map the lineages of early humans and the interbreeding events that occurred between them. Among the ancient ancestors included in the […]

(Natural News) In a pair of caves known as the Grotta del Fossellone and the Grotta di Sant’Agostino in Italy’s western Lazio region, archaeologists discovered some of the earliest known examples of the use of adhesives. In this study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, archaeologists found evidence that Neanderthals that lived around 55 to 40 thousand years ago […]

(Natural News) Plant-based medicine may have been around for even longer than previously thought. Scientists recently uncovered new evidence of herbal remedies used by Neanderthals. It seems our prehistoric relatives had gained knowledge of the anti-inflammatory, antiviral and pain-relieving properties of plants in their environment, and began developing their own medicinal practices. Most shockingly, it […]

(Natural News) It is often said that people of past generations didn’t succumb to many of the illnesses people die of in 2017 simply because they didn’t live long enough to experience many of those ailments. However, the DNA of the remains of ancient people has provided new insight into their genetic disease factors. Throughout […]
