The echinoid fossil in this 400,000 year old handaxe from Swanscombe, Kent, had quite a journey.
Living over 65 million years ago it survived Cretaceous seas, fossilisation, Ice Age rivers, Neanderthal culture, more rivers, & quarrying to enter our scientific record.

Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.
Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time?

Nice piece on recent-ish research into Doggerland.
Conjuring the Lost Land Beneath the North Sea | Hakai Magazine
New research reveals that Doggerland—a sunken swath of Europe connecting Britain to the mainland—was more than a simple thoroughfare. It was home.

TIL that one reason raw milk is having a comeback is a lot of people don't know what pasteurization is. They think it's adding "chemicals" not a rapid heat treatment

Mary Burchell remains one of the most successful romance writers, ever. Over 110 Mills and Boon books to her name.
Less well known is that much of her early writing was done for one purpose:
Funding her efforts to get Jews out of Nazi Germany, with her sister.
Mary is a Righteous Gentile. /1 🧵
