Newgrange Tomb Burial Practices Challenged by New Research
New research suggests that burial at Ireland's Newgrange passage tomb, a Neolithic monument dating back 5,200 years, wasn't restricted to the social elite; instead, individuals may have been chosen as community representatives, challenging previous assumptions of an incestuous ruling dynasty.

Ancient Colombian Skeletons Reveal Extinct Human Lineage and Population Replacement
Archaeologists in Colombia discovered 6,000-year-old skeletons near Bogotá, revealing a unique, now-extinct lineage of hunter-gatherers genetically isolated for millennia and unrelated to modern Indigenous groups; around 2,000 years ago, they were replaced by migrants from Central America.
