The study has recently been published in the journal PNAS. The researchers closely examined the bones of elephants that are approximately 125,000 years old and that were discovered in Gröbern in Saxony-Anhalt and Taubach in Thuringia, Germany, decades ago. They were able to identify cut marks made by stone tools used by the Neanderthals that indicate that the animals must have been hunted before they were extensively butchered.The pelvic bone of a Palaeoloxodon antiquus found in Gröbern.

Research reveals that early humans hunted beavers 400,000 years ago, indicating a more diverse diet during the Middle Pleistocene than previously believed, challenging the notion of a diet primarily based on large mammals. Evidence from eastern Germany shows that early humans had a more varied diet than previously known. Around 400,000 years ago, early humans hunted beavers as a food resource and possibly also for their pelts. This is the conclusion of a team from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), the Leibniz…

The earliest people who lived in North America shared the landscape with huge animals. On any day these hunter-gatherers might encounter a giant, snarling saber-toothed cat ready to pounce, or a group of elephantlike mammoths stripping tree branches. Maybe a herd of giant bison would stampede past. Obviously, you can't see any of these ice-age megafauna now. They've all been extinct for about 12,800 years.…

“Kraven the Hunter is a Marvel movie grounded heavily in the real world,” said star Aaron Taylor-Johnson. “And anyone who is familiar with the comics and the character of Kraven, they know that he’s a fierce hunter with the skill of a highly trained killer. So, I figure now’s a good time to answer the Internet’s biggest question about the film.”Spoilers of the Week Feb 21-25“Will it be rated R?” the actor asked himself. “Fuck yes it’s going to be rated R.”At CinemaCon 2023 in Las Vegas, Sony announced that Kraven the…

No matter how large-sized, sharp-toothed, razor-clawed, pointy-horned or venomous a creature may be, humans have hunted it for food. Moreover, according to a study led by the University of the Witwatersrand, they have also done so no matter how slow, small and…

The brown widow spider, scientifically known as Latrodectus geometricus, is a venomous spider that is closely related to the more well-known black widow spider. Brown widow spiders are typically light to medium brown in color, with a distinctive pattern of stripes and spots on their bodies. Like the black widow spider, the venom of the brown widow spider contains neurotoxins that can cause pain, muscle cramps, and other symptoms in humans.New study shows brown widow spiders actively seek and kill nearby black widows.Black…

Neanderthals hunted and butchered huge elephants, according to a new study. This photo shows deep cut marks on the heel bone of a male elephant. Neanderthals may have lived in larger groups than previously believed, hunting massive elephants that were up to three times bigger than those of today, according to a new study. The…

We did not plan, nor do we ever plan, to start off the day being worried for Jenna Ortega. After all, we know she’s more than capable of holding her own after catching her turn in Wednesday, so what sort of threat could possibly shake the core of one of the world’s top scream queens? We’re not sure ourselves, but the official Twitter account for the upcoming film Scream VI certainly took a stab at it, letting us all know that Ortega won’t be the same apex predator she was in Wednesday. Indeed, it looks like Ghostface…

The Haudenosaunee people have always told stories about their first ancestors moving into the Red Hill Valley region, said Rick Hill, when the area was a subarctic spruce forest, like the forests just below the Arctic circle of today.Those ancestors were following the melting glaciers and the megafauna — giant mammals, like mammoths, that no longer exist in this part of the world.From 1999 to 2004, archaeologist Ron Williamson led a dig of the Red Hill Valley, before the Red Hill Valley Parkway was built, where evidence…

Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images After seizing far too many headlines for their offscreen behavior over the last few months, Ezra Miller has finally started seeking treatment for what they called “complex issues”, ones so severe they threatened to not just derail $200 million comic book blockbuster The Flash, but the 29 year-old’s entire career. Having already apologized for their past behavior, and the Scarlet Speedster’s long-gestating solo debut heading to theaters next year, the road to rehabilitation…
