PILETA DE PREHISTORIA
Tras la nueva petición presentada por el Ayuntamiento de Vega de Espinareda para la señalización y acondicionamiento del entorno de las pinturas rupestres de Sésamo, la Comisión Territorial de Patrimonio, tras analizar la documentación elaborada por los técnicos del Consejo Comarcal del Bierzo, esta vez sí, ha acordado acceder a la misma, estableciendo tanto en el itinerario como en las plataformas una distancia de protección -como mínimo de 1,50 metros-, que impida el acceso a las pinturas por parte de los visitantes.
El éxito de las visitas al Dolmen de Montelirio obliga a repetirlas

Stanford researcher fits pieces in human evolutionary puzzle | R&D Mag
... DeGusta is a co-author on two of 11 papers that appear in a special issue of the journal Science on Friday, Oct. 2, showing how hominids the earliest human ancestors made their way from living in trees to walking on two legs.
Much of the evidence is contained in fossils of three dozen 4.4-million-year-old hominids dubbed Ardipithecus ramidus (or "Ardi," for short). The Ardi fossils, which include a partial skeleton, are more than a million years older than the "Lucy" skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis, which was discovered in 1974.
Nearly 10,000 animal fossils, such as the monkey, antelope and lizard remains that DeGusta analyzed at Stanford, help give a picture of what Ardi's habitat looked like...

White Europeans evolved only `5,500 years ago'
White Europeans could have evolved as recently as 5,500 years ago, according to research which suggests that the early humans who populated Britain and Scandinavia had dark skins for millenniums.
It was only when early humans gave up hunter-gathering and switched to farming about 5,500 years ago that white skin began to be favoured, say the researchers.
This is because farmed food was deficient in vitamin D, a vital nutrient. Humans can make this in their skin when exposed to sunlight, but dark skin is much less efficient at it.
In places such as northern Europe, where sunlight levels are low, the ability to make vitamin D more efficiently could have been crucial to survival.
Johan Moan, of the Institute of Physics at the University of Oslo, said in a research paper: "In England, from 5,500-5,200 years ago the food changed rapidly away from fish as an important food source. This led to a rapid development of ... light skin."...
