These winding underground caves are home to mysteries and tall stories, and if you've seen 1980s movies like The Goonies and The Lost Boys, you're a pirate. It can lead to treasures and vampire nests.
In fact, the caves protect our ancestors, and they follow the shadow wall with examples ofartworkandstories. I left. However, early humans were not alone in these dwellings. A wide variety of microorganisms live in caves around the world.
However, many of these hidden natural networks and the wonders within them remain unexplored because they are dangerous and sometimes inaccessible.
Technological advances can help scientists overcome the challenges of exploring these underground systems. In our quest for extraterrestrial life, extraterrestrial caves may only hold evidence that we want to find.

We are a family
Early human ancestral fossils found in the Sterkfontein cave in South Africa Is one million years older than previously suspected.
Fossils belong to the genus Australopithecus. Australopithecus is an ancient hominini that was initially thought to have lived 2 to 2.6 million years ago. Researchers now believe that these ancient ancestors were about 3.4 to 3.6 million years old.
Due to this new date, the fossils of thecave are older than the famous fossils Lucy, , discovered in Ethiopia and inhabited 3.2 million years ago. Become a member of the Australopithecus afalensis species that was there. ..
Initially, South African Australia was thought to have evolved from people living in East Africa, such asLucy, but the new date overturns that theory. Researchers now want to discover who is the old common ancestor of these two ancient populations.
The entire universe
Soon, we will be able to see the universe in a whole new way.
On July 12, astronomers will share the first high-resolution full-color image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. One of them is "the deepest image of the universe taken so far," said NASA administrator Bill Nelson.
Images show how galaxies interact and grow, giving you a glimpse into the violent life cycle of a star and a colorful look inside the spectrum of exoplanets. can do. ..

Giant pandas like bamboo, but this is not always the case. The rare bear ancestors ate a much more diverse diet, including even meat.
If you look closely at the panda's feet, you will notice that there are extra fingers. According to a new study, an analysis of the "fake thumb" of a 6 million-year-oldfossil panda ancestor found in Yunnan, Chinaidentifies when this bamboo preference began. did.
The panda has evolved its fingers to help grab the woody stems of the plant.
The fossil also unveiled a mystery about the thumb. This turned out to be a compromise in the evolution of giant pandas.
