About 215 million years ago, a crocodile that resembled a greyhound dog thrived on Earth.
A 215 million-year-old fossil discovered in England almost 60 years ago has shown a swift, land-running ancestor of crocodiles. By demonstrating that these hunters were already separating into several running methods prior to the end-Triassic die-off, that animal modifies early croc evolution.

A particularly terrible death is suggested by what researchers just found in the skeleton of a Palaeolithic adolescent buried 28,000 years ago.
According to a recent research, a Palaeolithic youth who was buried around 28,000 years ago perished after being violently attacked by a huge animal that tore through his shoulder and face. One of the most well-known prehistoric burials is reframed by that conclusion as concrete proof of predator assault and a protracted, delayed death.

Archaeologists are fascinated by a gruesome tale told by a 5,000-year-old rock carving in the Sinai.
In the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, researchers have discovered a 5,000-year-old rock carving depicting an Egyptian victor standing over a guy who is chained and has already been pierced by an arrow. The discovery recasts one of Egypt's initial incursions onto the peninsula as a copper-related conquest war.
