A new study challenges long-held beliefs about human migration during the last ice age. Genetic evidence suggests that some human populations remained in central Europe, defying the notion that our ancestors retreated to warmer southern regions. This study, which compared human genetic data with that of other mammals, reveals that humans, like wolves and bears, were surprisingly resilient to harsh glacial conditions.
Antarctica, a continent nearly four times the size of the United States, is predominantly covered by a thick layer of ice. But this icy landscape wasn’t always the case. This article explores the geological events that led to the formation of Antarctica’s ice sheet, revealing the complex interplay of climate change, tectonic shifts, and the rise of the Southern Ocean.
