At a site called East Farm in England, recent excavations revealed reddened silt, flint handaxes distorted by heat, and fragments of a mineral—iron pyrite—that could have been used to make sparks on ...

New archaeological evidence from a site in Suffolk, England, indicates that early Neanderthals made fire around 400,000 years ago, pushing back the known timeline of human-controlled fire-making by ...

Heat-reddened clay, fire-cracked stone, and fragments of pyrite mark where Neanderthals gathered around a campfire 400,000 years ago in what’s now Suffolk, England. Based on chemical analysis of the ...

For people who move money in the name of impact, the shutdown of USAID landed like a star collapsing into itself. The United States government’s flagship development agency—once the world’s biggest ...

The story of America’s first settlers begins not 14,000 years ago as once believed, but much earlier, with small groups of Siberian hunter-gatherers surviving in Beringia, an icy landmass now buried ...
