#Sarcoptes #scabiei var. hominis (#Astigmata, Acariformes) is a skin-#parasitic #mite that feeds on human #epidermal cells. Infection typically occurs via adult, mated #females.The mite has #subspecies found on both #domestic and #wild #animals. The #evolutionary direction was via #humanancestors to humans and from there #spreading first to domestic animals and then to wild animals (see ref).

Prehistoric bone tool ‘factory’ hints at early development of abstract reasoning in human ancestors
The oldest collection of mass-produced prehistoric bone tools reveal that #humanAncestors were likely capable of more advanced abstract reasoning one million years earlier than thought, finds a new study involving researchers at UCL and CSIC.

Here is a #differentview.
#Humanancestors and #apeancestors may have evolved in #Europe not #Africa
#8millionyearoldapeskull #hominins #Cankiri #Turkey
#AnadoluviusTurkae
Hominins spent over 5 million years evolving there and spreading to the eastern Mediterranean before eventually dispersing into Africa, probably as a consequence of changing environments and diminishing forests
Early hominins are not seen in Africa until around 7 million years ago.

A 10-inch-long handaxe from 300,000 years ago was found at an Ice Age site, revealing early human mastery over materials and tool-making. The discovery raises questions about knowledge transfer and social interactions among early humans, and highlights their resourcefulness in adapting to harsh conditions. This handaxe is a tangible link to our ancient ancestors' resilience and creativity.
