“If Neanderthals were using Shanidar cave as a site of memory for the repeated ritual interment of their dead, it would suggest cultural complexity of a high order.”

[Prof Jamie Woodward @Jamie_Woodward_]

THIS IS EXCITING! The first articulated Neanderthal skeleton to come out of the ground for over 20 years has been unearthed at one of the most important sites of mid-20th century archaeology: Shanidar Cave, in the foothills of Iraqi Kurdistan https://t.co/7hNCs3YEhh

In Vietnam, wind and solar met goal of 10% of power in 2030 10 YEARS AHEAD of schedule - and are killing new coal

Why? Cheaper, cleaner, much more popular and far quicker to build: Vietnam kick-started its #solar revolution in just 2 years

Fossil fuels are so 20th century

RIP. Thanks for heads up and your attention to details.
The irony of dry bones. But the Bonapart name? Any relationship - Napoleon Bonaparte was a student of antiquity

Two thousand years ago, engineers and inventors flocked to Alexandria, Egypt—the "Silicon Valley of antiquity"—where they designed and constructed self-moving devices, self-driving theaters, and complex automatons. | @amayor

Happy #DarwinDay! The Great Charles Darwin was born #OTD, 1809. During the first two years of his voyage aboard HMS Beagle, he collected a considerable number of fossil mammals from South America. Those discoveries sparked the theory of #evolution. https://t.co/hJdxzjUPe7
