Rift Valley SimpCSourceURL: https://refind.com/links/141565788?via=refind RefindWe are restless even in death. Entombed in stone, our most distant ancestors still travel along Earth’s subterranean passageways. One of them, a man in his 20s, began his journey around 230,000 years ago after collapsing into marshland on the lush edge of a river delta feeding a vast lake in East Africa’s Rift Valley. He became the earth in which he lay as nutrients leached from his body and his bone minerali...

The tale of the domesticated horse

They say dogs are man’s best friend, but horses could also claim that title. Horses gave us a way to transport people and goods — literal horsepower. They changed warfare: drawing chariots, carrying the cavalry. They’ve inspired artists from Stone Age cave painters to the makers of "My Little Pony." Their role in industry may have waned in favor of machines, but they still maintain a place in sport, in leisure and in our collective hearts. Horses have been intertwined with human culture...

Cat

From Le Internette somweherez: -- Cat Cats, like dogs, are for the most part domesticated and found wherever humans are.
