Siberian Unicorn Walked Earth Alongside Humans

Ancient rhino species Elasmotherium sibiricum, known as the Siberian unicorn, was long thought to have died some 200,000 to 100,000 years ago.

Improved fossil dating, however, now suggests it survived until at least 39,000 years ago, likely sharing Eurasia with modern humans and Neanderthals.

Posted by in category: futurism

I don’t have time to find my collection of relevant maps but if I’m correct and, present day plate tectonics are going in the opposite direction than commonly understood version of Pangea then, increased global temperatures are melting ice and exacerbating movement along the main lines of separation — from the Eurasian plate (most solid) moving apart down both sides of India, along the Eastern coast of Africa and, perhaps all the way through to Antarctica, where significant ice melt has been detected underneath.


Instruments picked up the seismic waves more than 10,000 miles away—but bizarrely, nobody felt them.

Electrically-induced smells pave way for “cochlear implant for the nose”

Posted by in category: futurism

Cochlear implants allow deaf people to hear by electrically stimulating their auditory nerves, and have been doing so for years. While that’s all very well and good, what about people who have lost their sense of smell? Well, new research suggests that we may be getting closer to an electrical implant for them, too.
