(New York University) Modern humans never co-existed with Homo erectus — a finding counter to previous hypotheses of human evolution — new excavations in Indonesia and dating analyses show. The research offers new insights into the nature of human evolution, suggesting a different role for Homo erectus than had been previously thought.

Undergraduate research fires salvo in simmering scientific controversy

(Washington State University) A Washington State University student's undergraduate research is challenging a widely held assumption on the best way to analyze old DNA in anthropological and forensic investigations. Sarah "Misa" Runnells' claim is weighty enough to be published this week in the peer-reviewed, online journal PLoS ONE. At issue is the best way to sequence "ancient" DNA, bits of genetic code pulled from remains up to 800,000 years old

Deep history of coconuts decoded

(Washington University in St. Louis) DNA analysis of more than 1,300 coconuts from around the world reveals that the coconut was brought under cultivation in two separate locations, one in the Pacific basin and the other in the Indian Ocean basin. What's more, coconut genetics also preserve a record of prehistoric trade routes and of the colonization of the Americas.

Hidden lives of Baltimore's Irish immigrants unearthed for first time

(University of Maryland) Archaeologists from the University of Maryland are unearthing a unique picture of early Irish immigrants in the Baltimore area — of city children taught at home to read and write before widespread public education or child labor laws, and insular rural communities defying assimilation. "These people helped build supply materials for the Washington Monument and US Capitol, yet their voices have been muted in history," says UMD archaeologist Stephen Brighton. "We're reconstructing their inner world."

New technique yields troves of information from nanoscale bone samples

(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) A new technique developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute allows researchers to collect large amounts of biochemical information from nanoscale bone samples. Along with adding important new insights into the fight against osteoporosis, this innovation opens up an entirely new proteomics-based approach to analyzing bone quality. It could even aid the archeological and forensic study of human skeletons.

Scientists reveal a first in Ice Age art

(Smithsonian) Researchers from the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Florida have announced the discovery of a bone fragment, approximately 13,000 years old, in Florida with an incised image of a mammoth or mastodon. This engraving is the oldest and only known example of Ice Age art to depict a proboscidean (the order of animals with trunks) in the Americas. The team's research is published online in the Journal of Archaeological Science

Cutting edge training developed the human brain 80,000 years ago

(Lund University) Advanced crafting of stone spearheads contributed to the development of new ways of human thinking and behaving. This is what new findings by archaeologists at Lund University have shown. The technology took a long time to acquire, required step by step planning and increased social interaction across the generations. This led to the human brain developing new abilities.
