One of them was the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by archeologist Howard Carter.

Homo Erectus Bumiayu, Archaeological Findings of the Oldest Ancient Man in Java

The Yogyakarta Archeology Center team revealed Homo erectus bumiayuensis in 2019. The fossil appeared as the oldest ancient human on the island of Java, even the archipelago. The ages range from 1.7 to 1.8 million years, based on the reconstruction of the lower part of the Kaliglagah Formation. When was the first landing of this ancient man in the archipelago? To answer this case, it is necessary to use the dating results based on stratigraphic analysis, and absolute dating tests through radiometric analysis. "We have continued to do this from the stratigraphic correlation for each river there. All the rivers have been correlated. However, what we convey is interpretation," said Harry Widianto, Principal Researcher at the Yogyakarta Archeology Center. "What we need now is absolute dating, where this fossil must be radiometrically stripped." His team found that Homo erectus bumiayuensis's research was colored with various updates such as the migration p...

Scientists Find Similarities in Gorilla and Human Friendship

Recently scientists discovered a unique similarity between gorillas and humans in social interactions between groups. As is known, these primates live in larger groups that allow them to choose friends. However, it turns out that in new research shows how gorillas maximize close relationships. Quoted from Science Alert, Monday (08/08/2020), this behavior according to scientists is very similar to humans, where the relationship between brain size and group size has led to the idea of ​​how humans can maintain around 150 stable friendships. This theory is known as Dunbar's figure which was revealed by the English evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar. However, just because a group is bigger, does not mean that the relationship within it is stronger.
