Earliest evidence of Neanderthal multifunctional bone tool production from cave lion (Panthera spelaea) remains

Scientific Reports
Throughout history, humans have had a complex relationship with lions, both reverencing and fearing them. Interactions between Neanderthals and cave lions (Panthera spelaea) remain poorly documented due to the scarcity of direct evidence.

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures

Using artificial intelligence thanabots as “thanatobots” to assist anatomy learning and professional development: Ghosts masquerading as opportunity?

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Thanabots—AI‐generated digital representations of deceased donors—could enhance anatomy education by linking medical history with anatomy and fostering humanistic engagement. However, their use poses ethical questions and carries psychological risks, including issues around consent, authenticity, and emotional harm.

Deeply divergent archaic mitochondrial genome provides lower time boundary for African gene flow into Neanderthals

Nature Communications, 2017
Ancient DNA keeps expanding our understanding of complex genetic relationships between Pleistocene hominins. Here, Posth and colleagues analyse the mitochondrial genome of an archaic human that diverged from other Neanderthals ∼270,000 years ago ...

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.
