#Voyager found that 75% of the #CosmicRays heading our way from #InterstellarSpace 🌌 get filtered out in the #heliosphere’s outer reaches. If the encounter with the next cloud squeezes the heliosphere all the way down to #Earth’s #orbit, life forms would be exposed to an intense #radiation environment that would riddle #DNA 🧬 with mutations. There’s evidence of such an event around the time early #hominids were just beginning to pick up stone tools https://www.science.org/content/article/voyager-steroids-mission-probe-mysterious-region-beyond-solar-system

#TIL the oversized ape King Louie in #Disney's most recent live action version of #TheJungleBook is not actually supposed to be an #orangutan but a remnant #gigantopithecus. This explains the character's baffling size as well as the fact that orangutans aren't native to India. Come to think of it, it even explains why Louie's the only one of his kind!

Fascinating evolutionary stage of proto-man interacting with nature to make stone tools 1.2 million years ago.
“Following the deposition of an accumulation of obsidian cobbles by a meandering river, hominins began to exploit these in new ways, producing large tools with sharp cutting edges,” Mussi and her colleagues said in the study.
