Artistic Neanderthals 'were not brutish and uncultured'

Neanderthals made cave drawings in Spain that pre-date the arrival of modern humans in Europe by 20,000 years, a study has suggested.

Researchers from the University of Southampton used a technique called uranium-thorium dating to obtain accurate ages.

Art was previously thought to be a behaviour unique to our species (Homo sapiens) and far beyond our evolutionary cousins.

Cave art
BBC
In Maltravieso Cave, western Spain, Neanderthals stencilled their hands by blowing red paint over them

Soon after the discovery of the first of their fossils in the 19th century, Neanderthals were portrayed as brutish and uncultured, incapable of art and symbolic behaviour, and some of these views persist today. Our findings will make a significant contribution to that debate.

'Didcot 4' remembered two years on

Didcot Power Station wreckage
Thames Valley Police

Today marks two years since the boiler house at Didcot A Power Station collapsed, killing four men.

Workers Ken Cresswell, 57, John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, Michael Collings, 53, from Teesside, and Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, died in the collapse.

Sadie Cresswell, daughter of Mr Cresswell, wrote on Facebook that "nobody should go to work and not come home ever".

Didcot mayor Jackie Billington said the flag at the council's offices was at half mast to remember the victims.

Thames Valley Police says it is not known when its investigation into the incident will be complete.

Manslaughter charges are being considered, but the demolition company Coleman and Company, which employed the men, said there were "no grounds" for that.

Keith Cundall, the lawyer who represents three of the families, said: "The families want answers as to why this tragedy occurred, however they also know that an investigation of this sort will take time."

Electric-powered Mini cars are to built in China, as well as in Oxford where most Mini cars are currently made.

BMW, the owner of the Mini brand, said it had agreed an outline deal with a Chinese manufacturer Great Wall Motor.

Cars made under that partnership will be for the Chinese market.

The deal will not affect BMW's plan, announced last year, to assemble the first electric Minis in Oxford from 2019.

Those cars will use electric motors made in Germany.

Last year, BMW sold 560,000 cars in China - more than double the amount sold in next two largest markets, the US and Germany, combined.

Oxford researcher asks 'how much screen time is too much'?

Amy Orben is researching the effects of social media on human relationships at the University of Oxford.

Writing for the BBC, she says that while there are widespread concerns about the harm caused by "too much" screen time, the reality is more complicated.

"It is difficult to be precise as different people spend time online in such different ways," she writes.

"For example, someone enjoying their time chatting with friends is using social media very differently to someone worrying about their own life as they flick through contacts' photos.

"It appears to be the case that much of the debate about social media oversimplifies the reality."

She adds: "Research about social media can sometimes help us navigate the debate, but concrete evidence does not yet exist."
