An ancient monument marked the summer solstice centuries before Stonehenge.

Archaeologists have discovered traces of a wooden structure built 5000 years ago, 5 kilometres from Stonehenge, which appears to have been an even older monument for marking the summer solstice.

Die Skulptur eines Urmenschen basiert auf verschiedenen Knochenfunden artgleicher Individuen aus der Zeit vor etwa 200.000 Jahren. Dargestellt ist ein Mensch aus der Übergangszeit zum Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. Dieser Vorfahre des Neandertalers trug das Erbe des aus Afrika eingewanderten homo erectus weiter.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers traveled to remote #Boé National Park in #GuineaBissau to study accumulative stone throwing, a rare behavior where male western #chimpanzees repeatedly hurl #rocks at specific #trees while calling out and drumming. 🌳

The team used camera traps to gather #data on what these chimpanzees might be communicating, and whether the behavior is a form of #animal #culture. Some sites have been used for over a decade. 🐒

To study accumulative stone throwing among wild chimpanzees, researchers hike deep into the savanna-woodland of Boé — a habitat increasingly threatened by industrial mining.

“Archaeological studies have found evidence of #asbestos being used as far back as the #StoneAge to strengthen ceramic pots, but large-scale mining began at the end of the 19th century when manufacturers and builders began using asbestos for its desirable physical properties.”
