Archaeologists have made a remarkable discovery of the oldest woven grass footwear in Europe, estimated to be up to 6,200 years old, in a bat cave in southern Spain. Radiocarbon dating was used to date the objects, which include baskets, tools and sandals made from esparto grass. The discovery has forced researchers to rethink their assumptions about our human ancestors in the region, and the team is continuing to study the objects to learn more.

Beatriz Flamini, a Spanish extreme athlete, recently emerged from a 500-day challenge living 70 meters deep in a cave outside Granada with minimal contact outside. Accompanied by a support team, Flamini was part of a larger scientific study to understand the effects of long-term isolation on the human mind. Her emergence is a testament to her strength and determination, and the results of the study could have far-reaching implications.
