The Happisburgh finds mark the first time evidence of early humans from 1,000,000 years ago has been found so far north. Palaeontologists had believed that hominins of the period required a much warmer climate, but the inhabitants of prehistoric Happisburgh had adapted to the cold, suggesting that they had developed advanced methods of hunting ...
Examples of Clovis and other Paleoindian point forms, markers of archaeological cultures in North America.

A large chunk of space debris that was discovered last month on a mountain trail in North Carolina came from a SpaceX capsule that had journeyed to the International Space Station, NASA has confirmed.
The following tables give an overview of notable finds of hominin fossils and remains relating to human evolution, beginning with the formation of the tribe Hominini (the divergence of the human and chimpanzee lineages) in the late Miocene, roughly 7 to 8 million years ago.
