Older adults with a strong sense of purpose showed measurably slower epigenetic ageing on several DNA-based biological clocks — an association equivalent to roughly two years of biological age between people with high and low purpose, though researchers cannot yet say purpose itself caused the difference.

Sea level is climbing faster in southern England partly because land in Scotland is rising. GPS records show eastern Scotland lifting roughly a millimetre a year as the crust rebounds, tipping England down at a similar rate, like a plank on a fulcrum
2+ week, 5+ day ago (616+ words) Scotland's ground is still rebounding from the last ice age, tilting Britain like a seesaw and making southern England's flooding problem worse than global warming alone would suggest. By The Long View · Edited by Mal James Published August 25, 2026 · How we…...
The 2004 earthquake lifted parts of North Sentinel Island by an estimated one to two metres and exposed its surrounding coral reef; days later, a Coast Guard helicopter confirmed the Sentinelese had survived when an islander fired an arrow toward it

Early Neanderthals were probably striking sparks to make fire in England 400,000 years ago — roughly 350,000 years earlier than the previous convincing evidence, revealed by baked earth, heat-shattered handaxes and pieces of pyrite found at Barnham.
4+ week, 1+ day ago (791+ words) A repeatedly heated patch of clay, fire-damaged tools and locally rare pyrite form the earliest convincing archaeological case for deliberate fire-making, although no human remains identify the makers directly.
