Palaeontologist Harry Savage Advances Ancient Locomotion Studies with 3D Imaging

Recent archaeological and paleontological research continues to uncover mysteries about ancient life and civilizations. Harry Savage, a PhD student at the University of Manchester, focuses on the evolution of locomotion in early complex organisms, shedding light on fundamental steps in animal evolution. Meanwhile, discoveries in Montana of dome-headed dinosaurs and evidence suggesting modern human presence millions of years ago challenge existing ideas about human origins, as discussed by Michael Cremo. Archaeologists remain puzzled by enigmatic artifacts like the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient analog computer, and the London Hammer, an out-of-place artifact, highlighting gaps in our understanding of ancient technologies. In Mesoamerica, new linguistic approaches are being applied to decode the undeciphered glyphs of Teotihuacan, offering fresh perspectives on this ancient city's cultural legacy. Together, these findings underscore the evolving nature of archaeological and paleontological inquiry into humanity's distant past.
