"Lab-Created Elephant Stem Cells: A Step Toward Mammoth Resurrection"

Scientists have successfully reprogrammed cells from an Asian elephant to potentially bring back the woolly mammoth, aiming to restore the Arctic tundra. The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest "dead" galaxy, while archaeologists found the world's oldest known loaf of bread and concerns arise over the future of Camembert cheese. A toothless bird fossil and a nearly complete titanosaur skeleton have been unearthed, changing our understanding of avian evolution. Additionally, a celestial method has dated ancient human artifacts in Europe to 1.4 million years ago.

"Experimental Archaeology: Using Stone Age Tools to Uncover Ancient Techniques"

They found that a combination of macroscopic and microscopic traces can help identify the use of stone edges, particularly for wood-felling. This study may change our understanding of early human woodworking technology and how it spread into different environments.
