"NASA Administrator: Alien Life Is More Likely Than We Thought" (2019, futurism.com) [archive.is/d6n46]

* "Astronomers spot four mysterious, UNIDENTIFIED circular objects in outer space" (2020-07-09, rt.com/news/494255-astronomers-spot-four-mysterious-discs/) [archive.is/aHZVa] [begin excerpt]: The brightly-edged, ring-shaped objects, dubbed odd radio circles, or ORCs for short, were discovered by astrophysicist Professor Ray Norris using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope.
He happened upon the unexplained phenomena while mapping the night sky as part of the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) project.
“The ORCs represent a new type of object found in radioastronomy images,” Norris says in a yet to be peer-reviewed paper.
The professor theorized that they represent a “spherical shock wave” from an “transient event” in another galaxy. Another possible answer is that they are a new category of a known phenomenon seen from a fresh angle. “Such as the jets of a radio galaxy or blazar when seen end-on, down the ‘barrel’ of the jet,” Norris explained.

Can you imagine a turtle with a mouth similar to an eagle beak and a crocodile tail? It's not any of ‎the J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts" but a turtle species called big-headed turtle from Southeast Asia and southern China.

Recently, a villager in Dongshan Town in Xuanwei City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, found a big-headed turtle alongside a stream. Shocked by its appearance, the villager called the police.
Forest police arrived at the site, where they saw a fearless little turtle.

The big-headed turtle normally lives in mountainous areas with streams and pebbles, since it feeds on small aquatic animals such as shrimp, fish and frogs. The species is rarely seen in the wild nowadays.
The turtle found by the villager was sent to the local wildlife rescue station, and it will soon be released back to the wild.The big-headed turtle normally lives in mountainous areas with streams and pebbles, since it feeds on small aquatic animals such as shrimp, fish and frogs.

* "Mobile elements reveal small population size in the ancient ancestors of Homo sapiens" (2010-02-02, pnas.org/content/107/5/2147) [archive.is/wAX3I], abstract:
The genealogies of different genetic loci vary in depth. The deeper the genealogy, the greater the chance that it will include a rare event, such as the insertion of a mobile element. Therefore, the genealogy of a region that contains a mobile element is on average older than that of the rest of the genome. In a simple demographic model, the expected time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) is doubled if a rare insertion is present. We test this expectation by examining single nucleotide polymorphisms around polymorphic Alu insertions from two completely sequenced human genomes. The estimated TMRCA for regions containing a polymorphic insertion is two times larger than the genomic average (P < <10−30), as predicted. Because genealogies that contain polymorphic mobile elements are old, they are shaped largely by the forces of ancient population history and are insensitive to recent demographic events, such as bottlenecks and expansions. Remarkably, the information in just two human DNA sequences provides substantial information about ancient human population size. By comparing the likelihood of various demographic models, we estimate that the effective population size of human ancestors living before 1.2 million years ago was 18,500, and we can reject all models where the ancient effective population size was larger than 26,000. This result implies an unusually small population for a species spread across the entire Old World, particularly in light of the effective population sizes of chimpanzees (21,000) and gorillas (25,000), which each inhabit only one part of a single continent.

* "A Submerged 7,000-Year-Old Discovery Shows the Great Potential of Underwater; Archaeology Stone tools scattered on the seafloor mark the oldest underwater site ever found on the continent" (2020-07-01, smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/archaeology-underwater-australia-180975235/) [archive.is/CW9xs] [begin excerpt]: Australia has a deep human history stretching back 65,000 years, but many of its oldest archaeological sites are now underwater. In an encouraging sign that Aboriginal artifacts and landscapes may actually be preserved offshore, archaeologists have discovered a 7,000-year-old site submerged along Australia's continental shelf, the first of its kind. Their discovery is outlined today in the journal PLoS One.
At the end of the last ice age, about 12,000 years ago, when glaciers melted and sea level rose, waters inundated one-third of Australia’s habitable land. As part of a project called Deep History of Sea Country, Jonathan Benjamin, a professor of maritime archaeology at Flinders University in Adelaide, led a team that searched for submerged sites off Murujuga (also known as the Dampier Archipelago), a dry and rocky coastal region in northwestern Australia.
This area has a wealth of inland archaeological sites, including more than one million examples of rock art. About 18,000 years ago, the shoreline of Murujuga would have extended another 100 miles further than the current coast. [end excerpt]
