The German postal service Deutsche Post has discontinued its domestic mail flights after more than 62 years. In the early hours of Thursday, the last aircraft carrying domestic mail took off from Berlin and flew to Stuttgart. Shortly before that, planes had taken off from Hanover, Munich and Stuttgart. The six planes were carrying only letters - a total of around 1.5 million items weighing 53 tons. This corresponds to around 3% of the volume of letters transported by Deutsche Post around the country every day. In future, the postal service will no longer use letter transport aircraft in order ...

Scientists in the UK have found evidence that microplastics are contaminating archaeological soil samples. The discovery has the potential to upend the way historical remains are preserved. Tiny particles of microplastics were discovered seven metres underground in samples dating from the first or early second century. They were first excavated in the 1980s. “This feels like an important moment, confirming what we should have expected: that what were previously thought to be pristine archaeological deposits, ripe for investigation, are in fact contaminated with plastics, and that this includes...

Ballads were all the rage, and we’re not talking about Stairway to Heaven. These were songs sung straight from the mouths of balladeers: musicians who went from place to place setting lyrics to music for the public’s listening pleasure. The tunes they played were often already well-known. But instead of coming up with the lyrics themselves, these itinerant performers might have just bought a new sheet of lyrics from a budding songwriter. And so the commercial music market as we know it was born. Universal Music Group threatens to pull millions of songs from TikTok in rights disputeThis is acco...

A puzzling gap in the knowledge of ancient human whereabouts over a roughly 20,000-year period has finally been filled, according to experts. Researchers have pinpointed the Persian Plateau — also known as the Iranian Plateau — as a pivotal geographical crossroad in the early exodus of Homo sapiens out of Africa, Knewz.com has learned. An international team of scientists detailed their findings in a study titled "The Persian plateau served as hub for Homo sapiens after the main out of Africa dispersal," published on Monday, March 25, in the journal Nature Communications. Based on genetic and a...

The system currently used to classify hurricane severity may no longer be sufficient as tropical storms intensify. Scientists are making the case that the Saffir-Simpson scale should be expanded to include a new Category 6 classification, Knewz.com has learned. In a study titled "The growing inadequacy of an open-ended Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale in a warming world," published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last month, climate scientists noted that rising ocean temperatures are leading to stronger and more destructive hurricanes. Therefore, the open-ende...

New research is challenging existing theories about the origins of verbal communication, suggesting ancient humans began to interact vocally long before previously thought. An archaeologist argues that language gradually evolved after humans uttered their first rudimentary words around 1.6 million years ago, Knewz.com has learned. Language is said to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, coinciding with the emergence of Homo sapiens. However, British archaeologist Steven Mithen, a professor of early prehistory at the University of Reading, says basic words were likely spoken between...
