New evidence — Clovis people not first to populate North America
The belief that the Clovis People were the first to populate North America some 11,500 years ago has been widely challenged in recent years, and a Texas A&M University anthropologist has found evidence he says could be the final nail in the coffin for the Clovis first model. view more (2007-02-23)
6 North American sites hold 12,900-year-old nanodiamond-rich soil
Abundant tiny particles of diamond dust exist in sediments dating to 12,900 years ago at six North American sites, adding strong evidence for Earth's impact with a rare swarm of carbon-and-water-rich comets or carbonaceous chondrites, reports a nine-member scientific team. view more (2009-01-05)
Clovis-age overkill didn't take out California's flightless sea duck
Clovis-age natives, often noted for overhunting during their brief dominance in a primitive North America, deserve clemency in the case of California's flightless sea duck. New evidence says it took thousands of years for the duck to die out. view more (2008-03-18)
13,000 Clovis-era tool cache unearthed in Colorado shows evidence of camel, horse butchering
A biochemical analysis of a rare Clovis-era stone tool cache recently unearthed in the city limits of Boulder, Colo., indicates some of the implements were used to butcher ice-age camels and horses that roamed North America until their extinction about 13,000 years ago, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2009-02-26)
DEATH RATE AMONG UK GULF WAR VETERANS (p17)
Armed forces personnel who served in the Gulf War report more current ill health than those who were not deployed. There has been concern expressed that they may also experience higher mortality rates. In this week's issue of The Lancet Gary J Macfarlane and colleagues report the findings of a retrospective cohort study that included all 53 462 UK... view more... (2000-06-28)
Watery grave for 7,700 year old who wouldn't eat her greens
University of Sheffield archaeologists have uncovered a 7,700-year-old human thighbone, which has provided new evidence about the diet of ancient people. The thighbone, which belonged to a woman living in the Mesolithic era, was found in a dried up channel of the River Trent during excavation of a gravel pit. The find was unusual because human... view more... (2002-08-28)

Tiny diamonds on Santa Rosa Island give evidence of cosmic impact
Nanosized diamonds found just a few meters below the surface of Santa Rosa Island off the coast of Santa Barbara provide strong evidence of a cosmic impact event in North America approximately 12,900 years ago. view more (2009-07-22)
European researchers based in the US want more contact with Europe
EU researchers based in the US have given an outstanding "yes" to the creation of a network for them and about them. Following a survey of researchers from EU countries working in the US, carried out by the European Commission, over 90% of the 2000 respondents said that they wanted closer research links with Europe. The European... view more... (2005-02-18)
A new tribe at the BA festival
A new tribe is emerging from Mexico's scorched earth. A team of geoarchaeologists working on a programme investigating human evolution have found skeletal remains in the desert of the Baja California Peninsula that give rise to new theories on the colonisation of the Americas. view more (2004-09-03)
Large hormone dose may reduce risk of post-traumatic stress disorder
A new study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers found that a high dose of cortisone could help reduce the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). view more (2008-10-28)
ESF publishes its position on EU's 6th research Framework Programme
The ESF position paper welcomes the Commission proposal for the next Framework Programme for research (2002-2006), which is considered as a positive step towards the European Research Area (ERA) proposed by Commissioner Philippe Busquin last year. While ESF welcomes the new approach of more focused actions in the proposal, it misses a clear... view more... (2001-06-12)
Paleozoic 'sediment curve' provides new tool for tracking sea-floor sediment movements
As the world looks for more energy, the oil industry will need more refined tools for discoveries in places where searches have never before taken place, geologists say. view more (2008-10-03)

New study says high grain prices are likely here to stay
An ethanol-fueled spike in grain prices will likely hold, yielding the first sustained increase for corn, wheat and soybean prices in more than three decades, according to new research by two University of Illinois farm economists. view more (2008-09-16)
Charcoal evidence tracks climate changes in Younger Dryas
A new study reports that charcoal particles left by wildfires in sediments of 35 North American lake beds don't readily support the theory that comets exploding over the continent 12,900 years ago sparked a cooling period known as the Younger Dryas. view more (2009-01-29)
Skull study sheds light on dinosaur diversity
With their long necks and tails, sauropod dinosaurs-famous as the Sinclair gasoline logo and Fred Flintstone's gravel pit tractor-are easy to recognize, in part because they all seem to look alike. view more (2005-09-16)
Connecting Transport Research Solutions To European Transport Policy
A new, free web-service launched this week will raise the visibility of transport research solutions emerging from EU and national research programmes from the European Research Area (ERA). Europe is delivering vast amounts of results in terms of both technologies and concepts that are produced by thousands of researchers. But, how can we identify... view more... (2004-07-05)
