Jason Cuevas+FollowDid Neanderthal DNA Rewrite Aussie History?Turns out, the story of when humans first landed in Australia just got a major plot twist! Some researchers now say it wasn’t 65,000 years ago, but closer to 50,000, based on Neanderthal DNA in Indigenous Australians. The catch?

Michael Flores+FollowGiant Kangaroos Were Total HomebodiesTurns out, those extinct giant kangaroos in Australia weren’t the nomads we thought—they basically never left their lush rainforest neighborhoods!
