Scientists have reconstructed the face of the oldest fossil skull in the Americas,
the skull found in the region of Lagoa Santa in Minas Gerais by a Franco-Brazilian expedition in 1975. Nicknamed by researchers from Lazia, it represents a possible link to the understanding of human settlement and occupation on the American continent.
Scientists at the University of Manchester in England, using resin, reconstructed what would have been the probable face of the skull, and from there they realized that its features were similar to the Negroid and Australian peoples, overturning the theory that established that the first human settlements on the continent would have were of the peoples of Mongoloid nature (similar to the Asian peoples), these would have come later and, over the years, replaced the populations that already lived here.
Today there is a strong tendency to review human migration theories, which
will lead to the occupation of the globe after the emergence of modern man
approximately 120 000 years ago. Today there are already researchers arguing that man would have arrived in America between 20,000 and 15,000 years ago, contrary to what is currently accepted, 12,000 years ago. With the emergence of new archaeological sites in northern Brazil and in the Amazon basin region, we are waiting for another great discovery that sheds light on the history of man in the Americas.
A joint study by researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University uncovered the first evidence of domestication of a fruit tree. The researchers analyzed traces of charcoal from the Chalcolithic site of Tel Zaf, in the Jordan Valley, and determined that they came from olive trees. Sinc
