Stone Age humans in Europe made, swapped, and carried whale bone weapons along long-distance networks from Spain through to France, say researchers who have tracked down dozens of such tools. The exchanges around the Bay of Biscay may have contributed to one of the world’s first coastal economies, they argue.
“This innovation was good enough to rapidly spread across this territory,” says Alexandre Lefebvre, an archaeologist at the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès and lead author of a new study documenting the find.
Around 15,000 years ago, Western Europe was home to the Magdalenians, a nomadic hunter-gatherer culture that made hunting tools, cave art, and maybe even music. Previous research had shown whale bone weapons were used just north of the Pyrenees mountains, in France. Yet, surprisingly, almost no evidence had been found for the same technology in prehistoric sites along the northern coast of Spain, where whale bones might reasonably have come fr
BATAVIA â The availability of COVID-19 clinics continues to expand in the GLOW region.
The Genesee and Orleans County health departments will be on the road next week with âpop-up clinics,â officials said, while the Pfizer vaccine is now able to vaccinate anyone 12 years old and older.
Clinics with Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines will be available for walk-in and registration. Pfizer clinics are by registration only.
âWe are happy to be able to provide the pop-up clinics between the two counties,â said Public Health Director Paul Pettit in a news release. âWith the shift in bringing clinics close to where people live, work, and play and being more flexible with the scheduling, now is a great opportunity for more people to get vaccinated. Being fully vaccinated, two weeks after the second dose for Moderna and Pfizer, and two weeks after the single dose of Johnson & Johnson will help us enjoy the spring and summer activities with less restriction

CORFU, N.Y. (WKBW) â The Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments are offering two free tickets to the amusement park at Six Flags Darien Lake, if you attend their COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Tuesday.
The clinic runs from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 11 at the Human Resources Center at 1501 Sumner Road in Corfu.
âAs we transition away from the larger mass vaccination clinic approach, we will be hosting mobile clinics that will be held in various locations throughout our communities along with smaller scaled clinics at both of the health departments moving forward,â stated Paul Pettit, Public Health Director for GO Health. âWorking with community partners in both counties is a great way to reach out to those who want to be vaccinated against COVID.â

One of the oldest human burials in Africa was found by scientists, who discovered the remnants of a toddler that is 78,000 years ago.
Scientists discover the oldest human burial in Africa
According to a group of scientists, they found evidence of the first known human buried in a grave. The location of the fossil is 10 miles inland from southeast Kenya s ocean beaches. Their investigation shows the grave of an early Homo sapiens child dated at 78,000 years old via carbon dating, reported National Geographic.
Even though some human burials in the Middle East and Europe are older, the excavation in Africa is one of the oldest unquestionable examples of a body interred in a pit prepared for that purpose anywhere in the world.
A coastal cave in Kenya sheltered the body of a tiny child no longer than three, who was arrayed as if still sleeping, in a purposely dug grave for roughly 78,000 years. Unearthed by archeologists, it is the oldest human burial discovered in Africa to date.
Archeological clues tell that the child was loved by those who buried it: Its body was wrapped in a perishable cloth before it was placed in a grave with legs drawn up to the chest, according to a press release. The toddler s head was resting on what was probably a makeshift pillow.
