In 2015, our Serbian-Canadian archaeological research team was working at a cave site named Pešturina, in Eastern Serbia, where we had found thousands of stone tools and animal bones. One day, an excited Serbian undergrad brought us a fossil they had uncovered: a small molar tooth, which we immediately recognized as human. A 3D recreation of a recently discovered Neanderthal tooth [Credit: Joshua Lindal] A single tooth may not seem like much, but a lot of information can be drawn from it. We knew it was about 100,000 years old , because the layer it was found in had previously been dated. We were able to build a high-resolution 3D model to study the shape of the crown, roots and internal structure. We made detailed measurements and performed statistical analyses which are published in the June 2019 issue of the Journal of Human Evolution . The results of our analysis are clear: our little tooth belonged to a Neanderthal. Neanderthal fossils have been found in Croatia...

News Today: 'You're Going to Get It, or I'm Going to Die Trying, B*tch': Alex Jones Issues Stunning Threat to Mueller — And Pantomimes Shooting Him

Click here for reuse options! The conspiracy theorist ended a deranged rant about pedophilia by threatening the special counsel. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones threatened special counsel Robert Mueller during a Monday episode of his InfoWars show, miming a shooting and saying he would "die trying" to take Mueller down. Jones began by making unfounded claims about Mueller and Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of solicitation of a minor for prostitution in 2008. "That's the thing, is like, once it's Mueller, everyone's so scared of Mueller, they'd let Mueller rape kids in front of people, which he did," Jones said. "I mean, Mueller covered up for a decade for Epstein kidnapping kids, flying them on sex planes, some kids as young as seven years old reportedly, with big perverts raping them to frame people." "That's a demon I will take down, or I'll die trying," Jones continued. Jones made repeated shooting g...
