A new dating carried out by Australian and European scientists, including Spanish researchers from the UNED, the University of La Laguna (Tenerife) and the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Lucena (Córdoba), have concluded that the passage of the Neanderthals through southern Iberia dates back to 42,000 years ago and not 35,000 years as was calculated until now. Therefore, 'Homo sapiens' and 'Homo neanderthalensis' did not coexist in Upper Pleistocene Iberia.
For the first time, researchers have seen the thought "swim" inside the brain of a live fish. The new technology used could be a powerful tool for perception studies, according to the authors in the journal Current Biology.
The heat generated in large cities can heat the atmosphere and influence weather conditions in regions thousands of kilometers away, according to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. According to the authors, this phenomenon would help explain why some areas of the planet are warming above what climate models predict.
A huge group of rigid rocks that are part of the Sierra de Peracalç, in the Catalan Pyrenees, moves laterally in a north direction at a speed that ranges between one and three millimeters a year. It is the largest mass movement described so far in the mountain range, and has been discovered by an international group of researchers, including scientists from the Autonomous Universities of Barcelona, Gerona, Zaragoza and Modena.
Why does the Sun look yellow when we take a photo? Our star emits light of all colors, but our eyes, or in this case the camera, only the brightest, which is yellow, reaches our eyes. Scientists have developed various instruments to be able to observe the light of other wavelengths that the Sun emits and we are not able to appreciate. These data provide information about the structure and components of the Sun, and allow us to get an idea of the complexity and constant changes that the star undergoes.
Testosterone is a hormone traditionally associated with aggressive and antisocial behaviors. However, a study published in the journal PLOS ONE shows that high levels of this hormone are also associated with increased honesty.

When soils are drier, afternoon storms are more likely to form. These are the results of a study published in Nature, which contradicts current predictive simulation models of the conditions that would occur in a context of climate change.
