Some of our gut microbiota predates the human-Neanderthal split

Science

Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Some of the same microbes still found in the human gut today were present in the intestines of Neanderthals some 50,000 years ago. DNA from Neanderthal fecal remains, recovered from an archaeological site in Spain, suggests microbiota in the human gut predates the split between Neanderthals and modern humans. Advertisement Neanderthals and modern humans diverged between 700,000 and 800,000 years ago. Around 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals died out. The latest research, published Friday in the journal Communications Biology, suggests that when humans and their closest relatives split, the two lineages carried their microbial heritage with them.

Milne Ice Shelf: Satellites capture Arctic ice split

Science

The Planet Earth-observation company has just released new imagery of the broken Milne Ice Shelf in the Arctic.Located on the northern margin of Canada's Ellesmere Island, the ice platform split on 30/31 July to form a free-floating bloc some 80 sq km (30 sq miles) in area.By 3 August, this berg, or "ice island", had itself ruptured in two, with both segments then seen to drift out into the Arctic Ocean. Ice shelves are the floating fronts of glaciers that have flowed off the land into the sea. Ellesmere Island was once bounded by extensive shelves that had melded into a single structure.
