    #IceAge butcher’s tools are a sign of ancient #humans’ creativity during hard times
    Crystals inside a #prehistoric bone rewrote scientists’ estimates of the age of the archaeological site, suggesting that the stone tools were made during a harsh ice age

  2. Earliest known burial in Northern Britain identified as young girl through DNA analysis

    Archaeologists have identified the oldest human remains yet found in northern Britain as those of a young girl who lived more than 11,000 years ago. Her bones came from Heaning Wood Bone Cave near Great Urswick in Cumbria. Radiocarbon dates place her burial between 9290 and 8925 BCE...

  3. Mute #Swans near the #Cranberry bogs of #Wisconsin. (The area is basically a huge wet sand bar rolled flat by the #Glaciers in the last #IceAge.)

    The pair was 30 feet from the road when I first drove by, but there was absolutely no place to pull off, so I drove 1/4 mile to a side road and walked back.

    They were much more skittish when I approached on foot. So I used my long lens and did not try to get closer.

    Note that they have brown heads because they have recently been feeding on the muddy bottom. 🙂

  4. Ice Age dice suggest early humans created structured games of chance thousands of years before recorded history. Could these discoveries change how we understand the origins of gambling and probability?

  6. #Dogs Lived With Humans 5,000 Years Earlier Than Thought
    Researchers, including experts from #UCL, have uncovered genetic evidence showing dogs were living alongside humans around 15,800 years ago — during the #IceAge
    The study, published in #Nature, also found early dogs were spread across Europe much earlier than thought — suggesting they were already part of human life in multiple communities

  7. Ein Nachfahre von #Scrat aus #IceAge!

    Das auf dem Bild ist ein Desmane. Die Tierart, die Vorbild war für die Trickfigur Scrat aus Ice Age.
    Diese Tierart ist sehr eng mit dem Maulwurf verwand. Bis heute gibt es zwei Desmanarten. Sie gelten als Anzeiger für besonders sauberes #Wasser.
    Ich finde es aber besonders cool, das Scrat bis heute Nachfahren hat. Und das, obwohl Ice Age ja zeigt, was für ein Chaot er war 🤪

    Die Geschichte der Desmane, verfasst zu ehren von Scrat:

  8. The ~100,000-year cycles that pace #IceAge ❄️ transitions depend critically on #Mars 🔴. Earth's axial tilt also responds to Mars's gravitational influence.

    Earth's #Milankovitch cycles* aren't just about Earth and the Sun. They're a product of our entire #planetary neighborhood sciencealert.com/mars-has-a-su

  9. 🌍❄️ #Earth has been a giant ice ball at least twice in its #history, but unlike the "instant" ice ages in #movies, the real deal took millions of years.

    Here's how a "double-whammy" of shifting continents and low volcanic activity sucked #carbon from the air, turning our blue planet white.

  10. For the Nordics, a modern-day ice age could be close.

    Iceland sits near the so-called “cold blob”: a patch of ocean south of Greenland that has been cooling for more than a century while the rest of the planet warms.

    Scientists increasingly link this anomaly to the weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
