Underwater archeology reveals clues about Ice Age humans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This story is part of The State of Science, a series featuring science stories from public media journalists across the United States. It features reporting by Reid Frazier from The Allegheny Front. During the last ice age, America’s coastlines and waterways looked much different than they do today. When glaciers melted, coasts and shorelines were inundated, burying early human settlements underwater. This is where underwater archeology comes in. Donning scuba gear and trowels, researchers are f
The inner secrets of a snake with a spider on its tail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we asked researchers to tell us about their favorite stereotypical spooky season animals last year, our herpetology expert mentioned an unexpected twofer: a snake with a thing on its tail that looks like a spider. Researchers think the spider-tailed horned viper uses its spidery looking tail to mimic a spider crawling and lures birds to hunt. Sara Ruane joins Flora to share an update on this spider-tail snake tale, with a new XCT scan of the spidery appendage’s innards. Invest in quality sc

Telling the tale of human origins, one fossil tooth at a time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where did we come from? How did humanity, with our complicated civilizations and all our human quirks and foibles, come to be? Much of what we know about those questions traces back to important fossil finds in Ethiopia. Paleoanthropologist Yohannes Haile-Selassie has been key in that hunt for answers. A skilled fossil-finder, he’s helped discover some of the most important known hominid fossils, including the bones used to describe the 2.5-million-year-old Australopithecus garhi, the first piec
