prehistory

Thousands of years ago, two human species were found on the European continent. 'Homo sapiens', recently arrived from Africa, and' H. neanderthalensis', which would disappear shortly thereafter. Teams of scientists from very diverse disciplines strive to reconstruct the history of this meeting.

The impact of the asteroid triggered earthquakes that caused a strong outbreak of volcanism in India, almost on the diametrically opposite side of the planet from the place of impact.

The Neanderthal diet is still under debate. A new study supports the idea that our relatives ate primarily meat.

New research indicates that the gigantic prehistoric shark disappeared from Earth 3.6 million years ago, much earlier than scientists believed.

With 'Homo Sapiens' engravings corresponding to the Upper Magdalenian Solutrean Paleolithic, it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1985.

They belonged to an ichthyosaur, a 200 million-year-old predator with a size close to that of the blue whale.

Scientists have found genetic remains that prove felines were domesticated by farmers in the Near East and Egypt 10,000 years ago.

Confirmed one of the oldest geological landmarks on our planet: a lost continent.
