Commonly used psychoactive substance may have prehistoric origins | CNN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The prehistoric remains of two foragers found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi contain telltale signs that humans began using a mind-altering drug thousands of years earlier than known. The betel nut, a fruit seed from the areca palm, is considered the fourth most widely used psychoactive substance in the world after caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. About 1 in 10 people today, largely across Asia and the Pacific, practice the tradition of chewing a quid, or processed betel nut mixed with slak
Birds and scientists are fooled by the âspiderâ on this viperâs tail | CNN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the arid, inhospitable climate of western Iranâs Zagros Mountains, life has found a remarkable way to survive. Circling above, a bird glimpses what at first glance looks like a plump spider climbing on the rocks. But as the avian predator swoops in, it becomes the prey as something that initially appeared to be a rock moves to snap it up. The roughened rock is actually the bumpy surface of a viper with hornlike features on its head â and the âspiderâ is the tip of its tail, flicking w
Scientists are trying to figure out if Mercury is even smaller than expected | CNN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Telltale wrinkles that cover Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, suggest it was once a larger world that has shrunk in size â and it may be shrinking more than scientists realized.

The rocky world formed from swirls of gas and dust roughly 4.5 billion years ago. The early days of our solar system were cha

The BepiColombo mission, a joint effort between the European Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, intends to use two complementary orbiters to reveal insights into how Mercury formed and evolved so close to the sun. The mission launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europeâs Spaceport near
The misunderstood Tasmanian tiger was driven to extinction based on a myth | CNN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hunters wiped out thylacines, commonly known as Tasmanian tigers, in Australia nearly a century ago. But a myth about these shy, semi-nocturnal predators may have been behind the speciesâ extinction. Thylacines had a strong resemblance to wolves â so much so that they were given the species name cynocephalus, meaning âdog-head.â Along with the physical likeness came the assumption that the animals posed a similar threat to livestock. Now, new research shows that Tasmanian tigers had spec
