☆ Mysterious Pattern in a Cave Is Oldest Rock Art Found in Patagonia
  + stars: | 2024-02-14 | by ( Becky Ferreira | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the stark inland desert of Patagonia in Argentina, there is a remote cave decorated with nearly 900 paintings of human figures, animals and abstract designs. Until recently, archaeologists had assumed that the rock art at this site, known as Cueva Huenul 1, was created within the past few thousand years. Cave artists continued to draw the same comb design in black pigment for thousands of years, an era when other human activity was virtually absent at the site. The cave art provides a rare glimpse of a culture that may have relied on this design to communicate valuable insights across generations during a period of climactic shifts. These early inhabitants thrived at Cueva Huenul 1 for generations, leaving signs of habitation.

☆ Long-necked dinosaur fossil found by Argentine scientists is one of biggest ever

The find in the Pueblo Blanco Nature Reserve, presented on Thursday, was first discovered by scientists in 2018. Paleontologist Nicolas Chimento said scientists decided to name the dinosaur "Chucarosaurus Diripienda", meaning hard-boiled and scrambled, because it had rolled around and survived the accident. At 50 tonnes and 30 meters in length, the Chucarosaurus is the largest-ever dinosaur discovered in the mountainous Rio Negro province. Some 140 dinosaur species have been discovered in Argentina, which ranks among the world's top three countries for research and discoveries alongside China and the United States.

☆ 50,000-year-old tools thought to have been made by the first Americans were actually crafted by monkeys to break open nuts, study says

Researchers say that capuchin monkeys made ancient stone tools discovered in Brazil. Capuchin monkeys are capable of making a large variety of stone tools, research has shown. The findings showed that capuchin monkeys in northeastern Brazil are capable of making and using a large variety of stone tools. The researchers compared the tools found at Pedra Furada to those that capuchin monkeys make today. "The result is that the rocks used often break, generating rock fragments that are very similar to those produced by humans when carving stone tools," said Agustín M. Agnolín, per CONICET'S news release.
☆ As war, drought hit global crops, Argentina gambles on GM wheat
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Maximilian Heath | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +9 min
It was the first GM wheat strain in the world to receive such approval. No other global seed company has publicly endeavored to develop GM wheat since 2004, when giant seed maker Monsanto, now owned by Bayer AG, dropped plans to develop GM wheat that could withstand its weed killer Roundup. In 2020 he had threatened to halt wheat imports from Argentina after its government approved Bioceres' GM wheat. A new landmark is the recent approval in Nigeria, the only country to fully approve imports of HB4 wheat grains. Trucco said Russia's invasion of Ukraine and severe droughts in Europe and China had shifted the needle on drought-tolerant GM wheat.
