The bones of an ancient human type unknown to science who lived in our region until about 130 thousand years ago were discovered in excavations conducted at the prehistoric site "Nesher Ramla", near the city of Ramla. As usual, the new man was named based on the place of his discovery - "Eagle Man Ramla type". Apparently a remnant of a unique population from the Middle Pleistocene that has not been identified until now

Researchers from the Hebrew University have developed a method for quick and efficient monitoring of substances harmful to humans in sewage water and other environmental examples * Prof. Shimshon Belkin and his group have genetically engineered a series of cellular sensors that become luminous in the presence of substances that disrupt hormonal activity or substances that damage the genetic material of the cell

Researchers from the Hebrew University and Penn State University revealed for the first time the structures of the central protein in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Dr. Eitan Lerner: "The findings may help in the development of drugs that will help slow the pace of the disease and possibly even prevent it"

A new study carried out by marine biologist Dr. Danny Golani of the Hebrew University states that 469 species of fish are wading in Israel's Mediterranean waters today, with a record number of 32 new species having migrated to them from the Red Sea in the last 15 years. Migration due to climate change? Don't count on it. The result, among other things: poisonous fish and poisonous fish are multiplying and establishing themselves these days near the shores of Israel

The equine corona virus is a close relative of the corona virus which has caused widespread morbidity in the world in the last year (COVID-19). In this family, called beta-coronavirus, there are also other animal and human corona viruses, among them the bovine corona, which is also found in cattle in Israel

It turns out that artificial lighting plays a central role in the reproductive processes of poultry. Prolonged exposure to light in a red wave absorbed through the extraretinal receptors while suppressing the activation of retinal photoreceptors has a positive effect on the reproductive capacity of chickens. The study was published in the journal Poultry Science.

Researchers from the Hebrew University and the University of Toronto found that the ancient hominids settled in caves and began making tools as early as 1.8 million years ago in South Africa: "The study reliably confirms and establishes our previous estimates regarding the ages of the first settlement in the cave, the changes in stone tool production technologies and the first deliberate use of fire "

Prof. Frumkin: "In a proper step, albeit a bit late, some of the animal species from the cave were also included in it (only the species living in the cave's aquatic environment). This helps in preserving the cave, but without declaring the cave and its surroundings as an official nature reserve, it will be difficult to enforce the law."

Researchers conducted a survey among 400 respondents who are residents of Israel, which examined patterns of sustainable behavior - such as frequency of recycling, reducing consumption and a consumer strategy that leads to reducing environmental effects - before the outbreak of the Corona crisis, during the first lockdown, and the respondents' intentions for the future. In addition, the extent to which the respondents link the outbreak of the epidemic with the state of the environment and climate change was examined

"Examining the eyes of octopuses requires complete anesthesia by adding anesthetics to the water and adapting the test instruments intended for testing on land to testing in a marine environment. Add to this the structure of the eyes of octopuses which is significantly different from the eyes of mammals and testing them is a difficult procedural procedure."
