Anthropology News from Science Daily
- Leprosy existed in America long before arrival of EuropeansThis link opens in a new windowMay 29, 2025Long considered a disease brought to the Americas by European colonizers, leprosy may actually have a much older history on the American continent. Scientists reveal that a recently identified second species of bacteria responsible for leprosy, Mycobacterium lepromatosis, has been infecting humans in the Americas for at least 1,000 years, several centuries before the Europeans arrived.
- Anthropologists spotlight human toll of glacier lossThis link opens in a new windowMay 29, 2025Anthropologists have examined the societal consequences of global glacier loss. This article appears alongside new research that estimates that more than three-quarters of the world's glacier mass could disappear by the end of the century under current climate policies.
- New method provides the key to accessing proteins in ancient human remainsThis link opens in a new windowMay 28, 2025A new method could soon unlock the vast repository of biological information held in the proteins of ancient soft tissues. The findings could open up a new era for palaeobiological discovery.
- A sweeping study of 7,000 years of monuments in South ArabiaThis link opens in a new windowMay 28, 2025New research brings together 7,000 years of history in South Arabia to show how ancient pastoralists changed placement and construction of monuments over time in the face of environmental and cultural forces.
- Bed bugs are most likely the first human pest, new research showsThis link opens in a new windowMay 28, 2025Researchers compared the whole genome sequence of two genetically distinct lineages of bed bug, and their findings indicate bed bugs may well be the first true urban pest.
- New velvet worm species a first for the arid KarooThis link opens in a new windowMay 28, 2025A new species of velvet worm, Peripatopsis barnardi, represents the first ever species from the arid Karoo, which indicates that the area was likely historically more forested than at present. In the Cape Fold Mountains, we now know that every mountain peak has an endemic species. This suggests that in unsampled areas there are likely to be additional novel diversity, waiting to be found.
- Chemists recreate how RNA might have reproduced for first timeThis link opens in a new windowMay 28, 2025Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life.
- Oldest whale bone tools discoveredThis link opens in a new windowMay 27, 2025Humans were making tools from whale bones as far back as 20,000 years ago, according to a new study. This discovery broadens our understanding of early human use of whale remains and offers valuable insight into the marine ecology of the time.
