After the discovery of the oldest human jaw found in Atapuerca, dating back 1.2 million years, they have just announced a surprising new paleontological find. They have managed to unearth a Cretaceous flint dating back 1.5 million years, making it the oldest in Western Europe. The tool would be at the limit accepted so far as the first occupation of the area, just in those 1.5 million years.

Two moons would have shone in Earth's night sky millions of years ago, according to a recent study to be presented in September at the Royal Society in London. Erik Asphaug, planetary scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and Martin Jutzi, from the University of Bern, argue that during the collision between our planet and another celestial body that caused the lunar formation, another twin satellite was created, of which today we know.
Our Solar System is full of unsolved unknowns. Thanks to the technology of the Hubble telescope, they have just discovered the smallest moon that is orbiting Neptune.
Scientists at King College London have developed a blood test that could predict how long a person will live, what their long-term health will be, and how quickly they will age and get sick. The test, described in the International Journal of Epidemiology and based on studies with more than 6,000 twins, is based on the detection of a metabolite called C-glyTrp that functions as a chemical "fingerprint" that is configured in the womb maternal and can be modified by the mother's diet during embryonic development.
