🔬 Humanity's Oldest Migration Just Got Older — Plus a New Mineral on Mars Nobody Expected

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

Scientists have pushed back the timeline of early human migration by hundreds of thousands of years after confirming a key archaeological site in the Jordan Valley is nearly 1.9 million years old. On Mars, researchers have identified what may be a brand-new mineral hiding in ancient sulfate deposits near the solar system's largest canyon. Back on Earth, a shocking link between colorblindness and bladder cancer survival has emerged from a massive medical records analysis, with mortality rates dramatically higher in affected patients. Physicists recreated the Nobel Prize-winning quantum Hall effect using light instead of electrons, cracking open new possibilities for quantum computing. Plus: a limping dinosaur, a termite with a whale-shaped head, and the first time humans have altered the orbit of an asteroid around the Sun.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
