Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom have created synthetic mouse embryos in a lab dish - an exciting advance that ultimately could lead to new fertility treatments.
Not only was this Stone Age surgery successful, but the amputee lived for another six to nine years, ultimately dying of natural causes before being delicately buried by caregivers, according to research. Only a century ago, most people who underwent amputation would have died - either from blood loss and shock or from subsequent infection. The young individual’s skeleton was missing its lower left leg, which Australian and Indonesian researchers believe was carefully severed just above the ankle by a surprisingly skilled prehistoric surgeon, likely using stone tools. In a remote cave on Borneo, Indonesia, archaeologists have made a discovery that upends our understanding of the Stone Age: an amputee who lived 31,000 years ago. This week, prepare to have your mind blown by another tantalizing fossil find from the region that reveals just how sophisticated and knowledgeable our ancient ancestors really were.
