Roman roads weren't so straight after all | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Roman roads weren’t as uniformly straight as commonly thought, according to a digital reconstruction of the vast ancient road network that challenges centuries-old assumptions. “All roads lead to Rome? They are all straight? We still walk Roman roads in the region today? These are widely held assumptions, even among academics,” says Tom Brughmans at Aarhus University in Denmark. We’re finally reading the secrets of Herculaneum’s lost library While observations from archaeological digs and survey
Monsoon-driven wildfires may have shaped human evolution | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wet climatic spells didn’t quench wildfires in East Africa’s Turkana basin 1.75 million years ago. Instead, they fuelled them. That’s what chemical traces from ancient plants in the region seem to suggest, and this pattern could have shaped our hominin ancestors’ evolution, including the use of fire and tools. Rich in hominin fossils and archaeological finds, the Turkana basin – sometimes dubbed the Cradle of Humankind – has long been considered important for understanding the lives of our early
Extraordinary ichthyosaur fossil shows its last meal was a pterosaur | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Around 100 million years ago, it seems an ocean-dwelling ichthyosaur’s final meal was an unexpected creature – a pterosaur that ruled the skies. Soon after, the ichthyosaur met its own demise, being ripped apart by a massive pliosaur. That’s the story a rare fossil found in Australia’s outback tells, according to palaeontologists, and it provides the first-ever evidence that ichthyosaurs, large marine reptiles, consumed pterosaurs, the earliest known vertebrates to evolve powered flight.
