Durante medio siglo, se pensó que los huesos de elefante y las herramientas halladas en este sitio indicaban un matadero prehistórico, pero un nuevo estudio demuestra que no convivieron en el tiempo.

Humanos y elefantes en el yacimiento paleolítico de Torralba, en Soria: juntos pero no revueltos

Durante medio siglo, se pensó que los huesos de elefante y las herramientas halladas en este sitio indicaban un matadero prehistórico, pero un nuevo estudio demuestra que no convivieron en el tiempo.

El trabajo con los planos y secciones del Prof. F. Clark Howell ha permitido inferir el rol de los homínidos en Torralba, donde se han documentado más de 4000 restos. Una investigación de @unisevilla.us.es @cenieh.bsky.social y el HERC @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social www.us.es/actualidad-d...

La digitalización de antiguos archivos del yacimiento de Torralba apunta que no se trataba de un matadero de elefantes

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

”Big brother in Armenia” The Armenian Center for Political Rights has published a report on the law authorizing the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct remote biometric surveillance. It contradicts international standards on the right to privacy and other rights👇🏼 youtu.be/w9PLXaP0R4Q

This is an absolutely stunning piece of research and visualisation! Tracking letters from one merchant’s company in the 14th-15th century. He was trading spices from the eastern med and importing English wool into Tuscany. Click on the link for an interactive map!

✉️ Explore 145,000 medieval merchant letters as a live map: the correspondence network of Francesco di Marco Datini (c.1363–1412), spanning Florence to Barcelona to North Africa. Visualise routes, travel times & seasonality. docuracy.github.io/datini/ #DigitalHumanities #MedievalHistory

A dark-themed interactive map of the medieval western Mediterranean showing 14th-century merchant letter routes as curved arcs coloured from cyan (fast, 0–5 days) through yellow to red (30+ days). Short land routes between Tuscan cities glow cyan; longer sea routes to Barcelona and Majorca burn orange and red, revealing the unpredictability of medieval maritime travel. (299 characters) Long (accessible description for screen readers / figure caption): Screenshot of the Datini Letters Geospatial Explorer in Travel Time mode. A dark basemap of the western Mediterranean is overlaid with curved arc lines connecting pairs of cities in the Datini merchant network. Arc colour encodes average letter delivery time on a gradient from cyan (near-instant, 0–5 days) through green and yellow (one to two weeks) to orange and deep red-magenta (more than 30 days). Dense clusters of fast cyan arcs radiate from Florence and Pisa across Tuscany, reflecting the reliable day-or-two land post. Arcs reaching westward to Barcelona, Valencia, and Palma de Majorca shift to orange and red, capturing the slower and far more variable sea routes that could take anywhere from a week to several months. City nodes are shown as circles: pink for the main Datini fondacos (Pisa, Florence, Barcelona, Genoa, Valencia, Majorca) and blue for correspondent cities. A sidebar on the left shows the Travel Time mode is selected, with a cyan-to-red colour legend and a filter slider for minimum letters per route.
