Chemical clues preserved in the teeth of straight-tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) from the 125,000-year-old site of Neumark-Nord in Germany suggest these massive animals traveled hundreds of kilometers -- and that Neanderthals may have deliberately hunted them at the site.

<guid>https://chattynews.com/moderate-caffeinated-coffee-and-tea-consumption-can-lower-dementia-risk</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
In one of the largest prospective cohort studies to date, moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee (2-3 cups a day) or tea (1-2 cups a day) correlated with reduced dementia risk and modest improvements in cognitive function, although decaffeinated coffee showed no protective effect.

Tyrannoroter heberti, a new species of pantylid ‘microsaur’ from the Carboniferous period, shows that some of Earth’s earliest land vertebrates had already evolved complex teeth for grinding plants, suggesting terrestrial herbivory emerged rapidly after animals moved onto land.

<description><![CDATA[ 
The detection of chitin in an Olenellus trilobite from the Carrara Formation (514.5 to 506.5 million years ago) of California, the United States, not only demonstrates that this structural polymer might be able to survive in arthropod fossils longer than previously confirmed, but also hints that sedimentary rocks may play an unrecognized role in locking away organic carbon over geological time.
