The largest known fossilized human feces, valued at $39,000, dates back to the 9th Century AD and is attributed to a Viking. Officially named the Lloyds Bank Coprolite, this remarkable specimen measures 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. It was unearthed in York, northwest England, in 1972 by construction workers during the construction of a Lloyds TSB branch, in an area historically ruled by Norse warriors. The name "Coprolite" means fossilized dung. This 1,200-year-old find is believed to be the largest recorded in human history. ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ

You asked him N7,000, and your dad told you he will give you in the morning before he leaves for work.

 You asked him N7,000, and your dad told you he will give you in the morning before he leaves for work. This was after he has thoroughly scrutinized what you needed the money for, all the questions he asked were already making you angry. Throughout the night your dad couldn't sleep because he was thinking as to why he must sacrifice his last N7,000 for you In the morning he calls you into his room and give you N6,000-00 instead of N7,000-00 You were not happy and squeezed your face in discontent, and reluctantly said thank you after complaining that it was not all you requested   Your mum after seeing this does not utter a word but meets you in your room where your dad is not present and give you N1,000 from her own money and say "don't mind him, add this to meet your needs . You began to smile and quickly run to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to write. "I have the best mum in the world, I love my mum". Now your dad had gone out with just N500 in his pocket wit...

THE OLDEST DNA IS 2,000,000 YEARS OLD!

 THE OLDEST DNA IS 2,000,000 YEARS OLD!  Kjaer and others (2022) recovered tiny fragments of DNA (including mastodon DNA) from 2M-year-old Greenland sediments. That broke the previous record for oldest DNA by 1M years. Since Allentoft et al. (2012) determined that DNA has a 521 year half life, on average, finding special-circumstance DNA that's lasted millions of years is astonishing. THE OLDEST HUMAN DNA - at about 400,000 years - comes from a Spanish fossil, the thigh bone of an archaic human (Meyer et al. 2020). The OLDEST NEANDERTHAL DNA comes from the 170,000-year old, calcite-encrusted Italian skeleton (pictured; Lari, et al. 2015). It's one of the most complete Neanderthal skeletons ever found. The OLDEST HOMO SAPIENS DNA is probably less than 50k years old from the fossil skull of a woman found in Czechia (Prufer et al. 2021). She had ~3% Neanderthal DNA, about the same as a 45,000-year-old specimen from Siberia. But the Neanderthal segments in her DNA were much longe...
