☆ Reconstruction reveals face of Neanderthal specimen Shanidar Z
  + stars: | 2024-05-01 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Known as Shanidar Z, after the cave in Iraqi Kurdistan where she was found in 2018, the woman was a Neanderthal, a type of ancient human that disappeared around 40,000 years ago. The Shanidar Z facial reconstruction suggests that these differences might not have been so stark in life, Pomeroy said. Shanidar cave in Iraqi Kurdistan was first excavated in the 1950s. Neanderthals may not have honored their dead with bouquets of flowers, but the inhabitants of Shanidar Cave were likely an empathetic species, research suggests. Shanidar Z is the first Neanderthal found in the cave in more than 50 years, Pomeroy said, but the site could still yield more discoveries.

☆ Here's the 19-slide pitch deck Jolt, a climate tech startup curbing the cost of hydrogen power, used to raise $6 million

Take a peek inside the 19-slide redacted pitch deck it used to raise the fresh funds. A Barcelona-based startup hoping to make hydrogen power cheaper, more efficient, and durable, just nabbed 6 million euros (around $6.4 million) in Series A funding. Jolt, founded in 2022 as a spin-out of the Catalan Institute of Chemical Research, makes electrodes for electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells. Electrodes are the "heart" of hydrogen, Jolt cofounder and CEO Leon Rizzi told Insider, but they are "genuinely not fit for purpose." Jolt makes an alternative coating, which requires 80 degree-heat for up to 60 seconds and can be done in an oven or via an infrared lamp.

☆ Prehistoric giant sea turtle newly discovered in Europe
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Now, scientists have discovered a previously unknown species — the largest sea turtle found in present-day Europe ever to be identified. The unusual animal’s presence in this part of the prehistoric world revealed that giant turtles were more common than previously thought, according to the study. With these finds, the scientists observed more features not previously seen in any living or dead turtle species. Before this recent discovery, all prehistoric giant marine turtle discoveries were part of the same lineage as Archelon. Fragments of a giant turtle's pelvis and carapace are shown at the excavation site in northern Spain.
