STUDY SWOT

  As per a recent study, one of the oldest known Homo sapiens fossils, Omo Kibish I, may be around 35,000 years older than it was previously thought. Content: HighlightsPrevious age How was the date calculated? Significance of the new age Anatomically modern humans Omo-Kibish I remains Key points Highlights The study used volcanic ash to date the fossils and thus there were 22,000-year margin of error.Omo Kibish I was first unearthed in Ethiopia in 1967.It was difficult to date directly because, it contained only bone and skull fragments. As a result, experts remained divided over their age for long.Previous age. In 2005, Geologists had analysed the layer of rock just underneath the findings. They came to conclude that, Omo I was at least 195,000 years old. That made the fossil at least that old as well as, oldest ever discovered at the time. However, there was a lot of uncertainty. How was the date calculated? Date was calculated by analysing the layers of ash deposited ...

  Asia is obviously the biggest continent on Earth and there is a ton of incredible spots to discover over there. But some people don’t realize how densely populated it is, and more specifically how much more populated it is compared to the rest of the world. WHY MOST HUMANS LIVE INSIDE THIS CIRCLE? There is a map that has been circulating online for a few years that gives a great perspective on Asia and a lot of you have probably already seen it, but since our posts about world maps are always very popular, I wanted to share this one to make sure everyone sees it. The fact is, more people live inside this circle than outside of it.It sure is impressive, but it isn’t all that surprising when you think of it.  Many of the world’s most populous nations are in that area: China (ranked 1st) India (2nd) Indonesia (4th) Pakistan (6th) Bangladesh (7th)  Japan (10th). Speaking of the most popular map we shared before (about Canada’s fake size), those amon...

ORIGIN OF UNIVERSE SOLAR SYSTEM  It is believed that the Cosmos, which comprises all the material of reality, originated 10-20 billion years ago. The prevalent view is that Cosmos originated with a massive explosion of tightly condensed matter billions of years ago the big bang theory. The matter exploded throwing out hydrogen atoms and related nuclei which became organised into galaxies. Cosmologists have estimated that there are approximately 100,000 million galaxies. All galaxies are moving away from one another at a great speed, approaching the speed of light. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one of these galaxies (Fig. 1). All stars that we can see with the na...
