Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2 🏺

The picture shows six needles of different sizes. They were made of bone resemble their modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention. THE most critical tasks of our time are: • Protect what remains of wild ecosystems • Mass rewilding where damaged or lost www.earth.com/news/africas...

Africa's natural wildlife 'power' has nearly collapsed

Scientists warn that losing Africa’s large animals is draining ecosystem energy and reshaping the continent’s biodiversity.
