Ticia VerveerScientists have discovered a trove of nearly 600 obsidian hand-axes that were crafted more than 1.2 million years ago in Ethiopia by an unknown group of hominins. This pushes the timeline of obsidian tool use back by 500,000 years.

Naunihal SinghWhat it lacks is the ability to Quote Tweet, that is to add your own comments to what somebody may have said, which is often used in social mobilizing. It also doesn't have full text search. This was all done intentionally. But as a result, it's much harder to reach out of your networks to other people.

The line in the foreground is the B3212 - the "main" road which bisects Dartmoor from east to west, a C18th turnpike route which in places follows the lines of far more ancient tracks.
Beyond, the hillsides bear the multiple scars of peat cutter's paths, mining trails and pony driftways.
A connected, multi-layered landscape.
