New Study Reveals the Real Impact of Early Humans on Animal Extinction
It has been told and retold and accepted as an unproven truth that early human beings arrived on uninhabited islands and forced other species to make way for them, eventually driving them to extinction. In fact, human migration has always been linked with a converse effect on existing bio-diversity and natural ecosystems and human impact on animal extinction has always been “assumed.” A new study, however, sheds light on unscientific claims of the early human impact on animal extinction.

Roman Republic Experienced Deep Financial Crisis in 90 BC, Study Shows
In the early first century BC, the Roman Republic experienced a multiyear financial crisis, which we can call “Roman inflation.” But while scholars knew that some kind of breakdown in the Roman financial system occurred around 90 BC, they didn’t know all that much about how Rome had responded to the problem. That has now changed, as a new study recently completed by classicist Kevin Butcher from the University of Warwick and archaeologist Matthew Ponting from University of Liverpool in England.

The Stone Age: The First 99 Percent of Human History
The Stone Age is the longest period of human history, lasting from 2.6 million years ago to about 5,000 years ago. It is also the period of human history that is the least well known relative to later time periods. Relatively little seems to have changed in the daily lives of people living in this period compared to the last 5000 years, but the changes that did take place were profound since they were the changes that made humanity what it is today.

The Roman Pantheon Had A God for All Seasons - And Then Some
The Romans were a polytheistic people who worshiped a great number of gods. Nevertheless, the most important gods in the Roman pantheon are the twelve gods and goddesses of the Dii Consentes, who are roughly equivalent to the Twelve Olympians of the Greeks. The Dii Consentes are also a good example of an important feature of Roman religion known as syncretism, in which the gods of other cultures are assimilated into the Roman pantheon.

The Rise of Hermanubis: The Hybrid God of Both Rome and Egypt
When the Romans invaded and incorporated ancient Egypt into their vast empire, they inevitably brought with them their own customs, traditions, and religion. But, even so, they could not extinguish the venerable religion of the Egyptians so easily. That would warrant an all-out revolt. So, they chose a more reasonable way to introduce their own Gods to the new realm by combining deities and mythological creatures, creating new amalgamations that would satisfy both the Romans and the native Egyptians.
