'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution under fire

'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution under fire | Mr Tony's Geography Stuff | Scoop.it
Two ancient teeth may rewrite our knowledge of how humans spread across the earth and the evidence points to a migration beginning almost 130,000 years ago.
Tony Hall's insight:

This is very interesting. I like it because it shows that good research is constantly evolving, rewriting the story as new discoveries are made. As one of my university lecturers said "Geology is about coming up with the best possible story from the information available". I think this fits with the notion of 'life-long learning'.

Havre eruption leads scientists to biggest undersea volcano

Havre eruption leads scientists to biggest undersea volcano | Mr Tony's Geography Stuff | Scoop.it
Scientists studying the Havre volcano's 2012 eruption have called it a "once in a century event".
Tony Hall's insight:

This is pretty exciting and not just a little bit fascinating! I love it when nature exceeds the expectations of the scientific community. We know so much about the Earth and at the same time we know so little. Always good to learn new stuff!
