Scientists have discovered the 43 million‮-‬year-old‮ ‬fossil of a previously unknown four-legged whale species, which helps trace the transition of whales from land to sea. The newly discovered amphibious whale was found in Egypt and belongs to the Protocetidae, a group of extinct whales that falls in the middle of that transition, say the team of researchers. Its fossil was unearthed from the middle Eocene rocks in Egypt’s Western Desert – an area once covered by sea that has provided an array of discoveries showing the evolution of whales. It was then studied at Mansoura University Vertebrate Palaeontology Centre (MUVP).…

Many histories of Nottingham have been produced. People made their own observations and studied the city’s past. Yet others published information from other sources, which unfortunately were never identified or simply no longer survived and therefore cannot be verified. There are about 870 caves identified so far. Many stories have been passed down from one generation to another. However, this information is not necessarily accurate. We know that beneath Nottingham Castle is a labyrinth of manmade tunnels and caves hollowed out of the sandstone cliffs. The walls of these underground realms have a long history and keep many secrets of…

Captain America: New World Order’s Anthony Mackie recently revealed what the Sam Wilson incarnation of Cap’s true superpower is. Mackie singled out Wilson’s lack of superhuman abilities as his greatest gift in an interview with journalist Kevin Polowy. “I think with my Cap, he’s not a superhero,” he said. “He doesn’t have a super serum, so his superpower is his humanity. So, I think with him, he has to come to the stage with a very different understanding of what it is to be a good guy or be a bad guy and what are the decisions that make you…

Rather than using a typical photo of the infant, the mother did something unique. She shared a photo of the tiny miracle clutching the IUD that had failed in his tiny palm. It was her way…

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan revealed the painful experience he went through playing the MCU villain Killmonger.

While scientists are still determining exactly when and how these microbes appeared, it’s clear that the emergence of life is intricately intertwined with the chemical and physical characteristics of early Earth. “It is reasonable to suspect that life could have started differently—or not at all—if the early chemical characteristics of our planet were different,” says Dustin Trail, an associate professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester. But what was Earth like billions of years ago, and what characteristics may have helped life to form? In a paper published in Science, Trail and Thomas McCollom, a research…

Teenage pregnancies were, are, and will be common, and we get the impression that it happens more and more every year. Today, the sight of a schoolgirl expecting a child no longer shocks anyone. Of course, this is not a completely normal and good situation, because it is always better to delay motherhood for a little longer, but this is no reason to stigmatize pregnant teenagers. Their situation is hard enough without it. Sometimes even extremely heavy, as in the case of this girl from Argentina. Pamela Villaruelle is only 17 years old and already a mother – not of…
