    I’m surprised this event isn’t more well known. A trillion dollars (adjusted for inflation) is a staggering amount of damage. If you add up how much each of the participants of the first world war spent, it totals $3.8 trillion dollars (adjusted for inflation). I’m not sure if this explosion is part of that total or calculated separately, but either way, that’s a quarter of the cost the entire war.

    York is a treasure for many reasons. One is - everything you have listed here. I hope it whet some peoples' appetites because it's just as you said it! Another thing I love about York is that the centre is walk-able from the train station. You are in the thick of it in no time flat. My only caution is to wear good, sturdy walking shoes. Cobblestones are serious business and heels, flip flops and pretty little sandals won't cut it.

    About 50,000 years ago, ancient humans in what is now West Africa apparently procreated with another group of ancient humans that scientists didn't know existed. There aren't any bones or ancient DNA to prove it, but researchers say the evidence is in the genes of modern West Africans. They analyzed genetic material from hundreds of people from Nigeria and Sierra Leone and found signals of what they call "ghost" DNA from an unknown ancestor. Our own species - Homo sapiens - lived alongside other groups that split off from the same genetic family tree at different times. And there's plenty of evidence from other parts of the world that early humans had sex with other hominins, like Neanderthals.
