		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have found engravings on a 400,000 year-old fossilised shell from Java. It is the oldest known example of ancient humans deliberately creating pattern. Before these zigzag markings were found, the oldest known engravings were from 100,000 years ago. Those are thought to have been made by modern humans, or maybe Neanderthals.  (Neanderthals are an extinct close relatives of modern man. They died out about 40,000 years ago.) These newly found engravings are too old to have been made by modern humans or Neanderthals. That means they were made by an earlier human species, also extinct, known as Homo erectus. &#8220;[This] will change the way we think about this early human species,&#8221; Dr Stephen Munro of the Australian National University said. &#160; A reconstruction of a homo erectus man from the Sterkfontein Caves exhibition in South Africa.

		<description><![CDATA[Fossils just found in India but dating from when it was an island belong to an ancestor of modern horses and rhinos. A team of US and Indian researchers found fossils from about 54.5 million years ago at the edge of a coal mine in the west of India. The fossils belong to an animal, called Cambaytherium thewissi, that was an ancestor of horses, rhinos and tapirs. belong to a group of animals with an odd number of toes on their back feet and their own way of digesting food, called Perrisodactyla. &#160; A lowland tapir (Tapir terrestris) mother and child.

CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 &#160; It&#8217;s the first time researchers have found such old fossils related to Perrisodactyla and the fossils are helping them understand how the animals changed over time (evolved). Their teeth and bones in their feet and lower back show how more animals from longer ago developed into Perrisodactyla, says Ken Rose, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Maryland, USA. So long ago, India wasn&#8217;t connected to the rest of Asia as it is today, but was an island. Two researchers, David Krause and Mary Maas, of Stony Brook University (New [...]]]></description>
