🔬 Ancient Humans Were Smarter Than We Thought, A Forgotten Planet Just Resurfaced & Ozempic's Jaw-Dropping New Discovery

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

New research reveals that humans were strategically selecting firewood 780,000 years ago, suggesting a level of environmental intelligence far earlier than previously believed. A rare Saharan meteorite is offering stunning evidence of a lost planet that existed and was destroyed before Earth even fully formed. Scientists have uncovered a striking link between GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and dramatically reduced rates of addiction across multiple substances, with researchers scrambling to understand why. Astronomers have dropped a landmark catalogue of 161 newly detected black hole collisions, transforming gravitational wave astronomy into a data-rich science almost overnight. Plus: a wearable ultrasound patch that could revolutionize pregnancy monitoring, brain organoids exposing hidden differences between Alzheimer's patients, and what ten months trapped in Antarctica does to a group of people.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
