Finds from Bavaria show that upright walk in primates developed far earlier and outside Africa ()

The remains of an ancient ape found in a Bavarian clay pit suggest that humans’ ancestors began standing upright millions of years earlier than previously thought, scientists have said.
[…]
The most complete, an adult male, stood about one metre (3ft, 4in) tall, weighed 31kg (68lbs) and looked similar to modern-day bonobos, a species of chimpanzee.
“It was astonishing for us to realise how similar certain bones are to humans, as opposed to great apes,” Ms Boehme said.
Thanks to several well-preserved bones, the scientists were able to reconstruct how Danuvius moved, concluding that, while it would have been able to hang from branches by its arms, it could also straighten its legs to walk upright.
“This changes our view of early human evolution, which is that it all happened in Africa,” Ms Boehme told The Associated Press.

A sad day for all who felt the need to combat white suprematism with silly arguments. It's worthy of pointing out an even older set of bones could easily be found elsewhere, including in Africa, but for the time being these finds puts the – in recent times politically charged – claim to rest that humanity as we know it has its origins in Africa.

I would say that is fake...

 

[Mokordo]

I didn´t know it before, but all serious data about Gloford glyphs point to say that are not from ancient Egipt origin but moderns.

 

[Mike1976]

I don't really watch the show "Ancient Aliens", but one of the few times I saw it when changing channels these carvings were featured. That alone makes me highly sceptical.

Eating the White Bear

"In Ice Bear, Michael Engelhard weaves together the disparate pieces of our eclectic social and cultural fascination with polar bears. His tapestry of images further reveals our complex attachment to this Arctic icon." -Andrew Derocher, author of Polar Bears: A Complete Guide to Their Biology...

Dice polar bear meat, leaving fat on some chunks of meat. Season pieces with bouillon, onion, Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend, and salt. Boil. (Chef’s note: Polar bear fat is drier than walrus or seal blubber. It is neither fatty nor runny and is subtle in taste and very tender.)
Diced, variation: Cook polar bear meat with frozen, sliced fermented walrus flipper.

(Chef’s note: When you eat the two together it sweetens the bear meat, and the bear takes away the greasy taste of the fermented flipper.) Serve with mixed greens and [seal] oil.

Bricklayer, 31, to sell 2,000-year-old Roman ingot for £60,000

The stunning 85lb (38kg) ingot, which is inscribed with the name of emperor Marcus Aurelius Armeniacus and dates to 164 CE, was found by Jason Baker from Plymouth.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Four ingots bearing the same inscriptions have been discovered before, all of them found within 18 miles of this one.
The first two were found in the 16th and 18th century but have since been lost while the third fragmented article is on display at the Museum of Somerset in Taunton.
The most recent detection is the only known example in complete condition.

A treasure hunter who unearthed a 2,000-year-old Roman ingot on a farm is now set to sell it for £60,000 ($74,000).
It will be sold at auction in London in November 30.
