Scientists Name Lucy's Hunter the 15-Foot Crocodile That Stalked Our Human Ancestors

Researchers from the University of Iowa have formally described Crocodylus lucivenator, meaning 'Lucy's Hunter,' an extinct crocodile that lived 3.0 to 3.4 million years ago alongside Australopithecus afarensis in Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. Based on 121 fossil specimens from Hadar, the 12-to-15-foot apex predator was larger than the lions and hyenas of its era, making it the greatest threat to early human ancestors. The study was published in the Journal of Systematic Paleontology.

Millipedes Beat Vertebrates to Land by 80 Million Years New Study Reveals

A study published in Current Biology on June 12, 2026 by Virginia Tech's Dr. Paul Marek pushes back the origin of land-dwelling millipedes to approximately 460 million years ago in the Ordovician period, 35 million years earlier than previously thought. Millipedes reached land more than 80 million years before vertebrates. The research, which obtained the first-ever DNA sequences from two elusive millipede orders, also reveals that these ancient detritivores helped build the proto-soils that enabled the spread of land plants.

Stonehenge's Altar Stone Came From Scotland, Not Wales, Isotope Analysis Confirms

A new isotope study published in June 2026 has confirmed that Stonehenge's six-tonne Altar Stone originated in the Orcadian Basin of the Scottish Highlands, roughly 700 kilometres from Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in England. The stone, long assumed to come from Wales, was transported around 2,600 BC and is the longest-distance stone movement from any monument of its era ever identified.
