Australopithecus Sediba - The Lost Species

Found in Africa and recently described, Australopithecus Sediba is one of the closest human relatives that we now know of today. With a brain the size of an over sized chimp and the grip of a superhuman, this species (extinct) is one of the most advanced pseudo-humans ever! With the fossil came some skin also, so we can have a look at that. This pseudo-human has an almost straight back and human feet!(slightly thiner heels than a normal human)

The A.Sediba also made weapons like we did. With their longer thumb and great precision, they would of probably made even better ones. However, as we all know, their species died out, and so they gave rise to EVEN better species, which died and gave rise to us. Who knows whats next?

Giant Gladiator School Found in Austria

This giant structure is the now-rivaling structure of the training grounds near the Colosseum in Rome. Being extensive and as big as two Walmart (almost as big as Meadowhall in England) This was certainly an excessive feat. This gladiator school had:

1. Central courtyard
2. Small rooms
3. Giant underfloor heating rooms
4. Mini-amphitheater
5. Spectator bleaches
6. Massive walled campus
7. Combat horse training

They found this site using a 3D radar, which gave them a clear picture of what it looked like.

Why Did Humans Settle In Some Places and Why?

We settled in some areas where the sun was shining and it was warm, where there was no drought, where there was trees and resources for humans to settle. Where there was water. Where you could grow plants easily and where it was best. If we settled in Antarctica, we would probably freeze to death and in the Sahara Desert we would dehydrate. Living next to a volcano does mean nice agriculture, but look at what happened to the city of Pompeii. We didn't survive then. Humans are very specific creatures so picking the right place to settle has its requirements.

What Is History And Why Do We Study It?

History is learning about the past, and helps us better understand the future. With history, we can see patterns in today's world. We found that there was a continuous heat at the equator all year round, and continuos cold near the axis of earth. We use history to build new machines and designs from other structures, such as the Egyptian Pyramids, and the Mayan Temples. We look to the past, to form our future. We use history to understand events that happen. It helps us understand one and the other. History trains us to help see ourselves better, so we can improve.                                                                                                                                              "A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
-Mohandas Ghandi
I think that this quote best describes history because it clearly states the truth about history: Anyone who is persistent enough can change history and all those people who have have been persistent.
