60,000-year-old poisoned arrows discovered in South Africa reveal that early humans mastered lethal chemistry long before agriculture or writing
Sixty thousand years ago, long before farms, cities, or written language, people in southern Africa were already brewing a deadly poison from a local...
Chinese geologists make history: they discover a deposit buried 3,000 meters underground with more gold than South Africa’s reserves, which could be worth more than a country’s total GDP
Deep under the hills of central China, geologists say they have located more than one thousand metric tons of gold beneath the Wangu gold...
Africa is splitting in two in slow motion, and geologists have found the crack where a new ocean is being born
Most people grew up with a simple world map in school where Africa is one solid block of land. Now scientists say that picture...
Two giant “spots” under Africa and the Pacific have been puzzling geologists for decades, and a new model suggests they could be the key to why life exists here
Every time you breathe in fresh air or watch the ocean roll in, you see only the surface of a story that begins far...
Something huge and brown is crossing the Atlantic from Africa to America, and satellites can no longer ignore it
For more than a decade, satellites have watched a brown streak grow across the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2025, that streak reached a new...
Africa looks motionless from space, but a thousands-of-kilometers-long “crack” is already splitting it apart, and satellites are watching it spread section by section
From space, Africa looks solid and immovable. On the ground, it is a different story. Along a scar known as the East African Rift...
So large it will escape the continent — Africa’s $25B energy megaproject unveiled
With Africa’s energy megaproject being so large, it’s important to stress its value. With the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline being designed to expand over a...
An archipelago of cables in the Atlantic — North Africa’s sun looks for a new buyer
