These individuals have a variation in their 11th chromosome that affects how they sense smells. This difference is linked to a gene called OR6A2, which responds to aldehydes — the same kind of chemicals found in soap. Because of this, people with this gene might find that cilantro tastes like soap or even dirty water. According to the lead scientist on the project, this discovery helps us understand the important connection between taste and smell.

Likely crafted by Homo erectus, these tools — made from the dense limb bones of elephants and hippos — represent the earliest known example of systematic tool-making using materials other than stone. While bone tools had previously been used sporadically, this discovery suggests a deliberate and skilled approach. The tools, some reaching 37.5 cm in length, were probably used for butchering animals. Their creation required anatomical knowledge, as only thick, durable bones were selected. Researchers believe these early humans applied knapping techniques similar to stone tool-making, while also adapting their methods to the bones' unique properties, such as its collagen content and layered structure. This innovation does reflect a growing cognitive capacity and resourcefulness.
