Research papers for July 2024
Hi Folks
A range of interesting ones have popped up even tonight on exo planets and there Habitability. Ive always been interested in the Ice age and a study here look at the last Mammoths. Isolated on the Tibetan plateau another group of humans were surviving until relatively recently. I will let you all read on as its been one busy month, including watching a bit of the opening ceremony of the Olympics this morning.
