Despite some dissenters, the great majority of people have accepted that climate change is fact. The Arctic is rapidly shrinking as glaciers melt. This can be seen from satellites in space.  Countries are experiencing extreme fluctuations in weather conditions.  ||| slims Kaskawulsh glacier it changes to river of canada in direction is or changes in Kaskawulsh |
Glacier changes river direction
In the Yukon in Canada a glacier fed the Slims River which meandered across Alaska into the Bering Sea. The Glacier is no more. In just four days the river vanished.  It can happen without glaciation, but is does not take place so quickly.   |||changes as glacier it go | direction on at changes in Kaskawulsh arctic | ||    

Hot weather in early 2016 hit the Kaskawulsh glacier hard. A wide canyon opened in the ice. The river changed direction and now flows south into the Alsek River. The original river is now a dust bowl. | interesting | not. |

Scientists were shocked: they hadn't been to the region since 2013. Temperatures had been 4.3 degrees Celsius higher than normal before the event. The whole ecosystem downstream has been damaged. The Alsek is overflowing; thus lakes and rivers along its journey will be affected as well.   | canada or an up arctic slims .

Natural History Museum Human Evolution Gallery

 The Human Evolution gallery at Natural History explores the origins of Homo sapiens by tracing our lineage back to when it separated from that of our closest living relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. Around 200,000 years ago, Africa was where modern humans developed. They have smaller faces and brow ridges, a chin that is more prominent than that of other ancient humans, and a brain case that is higher and more rounded. Modern human fossils from Israel (around 100,000 years old), Africa (around 195,000 years old), and Australia (around 12,000 years old) are among the casts on display. These fossils demonstrate that typical characteristics of modern humans evolved over time rather than emerging fully formed from Africa. They also suggest that at least two waves of people leaving Africa may have occurred, one about 100,000 years ago and the other about 60,000 years ago. We are all descendants of those who left during that second migration wave outside of Africa. Source: Natural...

Study of Tooth Enamel Indicates Neanderthal Diet Was Carnivorous

 A new study on Neanderthal dietary practices has just been published in the journal PNAS by researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and several German scientific institutions. They were able to determine that a Neanderthal who lived in a cave on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Paleolithic period (50,000 years ago) ate exclusively carnivorous food using a newly developed method for studying the chemical signatures of ancient tooth enamel. This isn't the first study to find this, either. Despite this, it is a one-of-a-kind and significant discovery because it was made through the development of a novel analytical method that could be used to learn more about the diet and way of life of Neanderthals who lived in other parts of Eurasia in the distant past.   To investigate the diet and eating habits of Neanderthals, numerous research projects have been initiated. However, they have resulted in contradictory outcomes. The CNRS researchers...
