They took to the streets to protest the deaths of dozens of people killed by security forces in previous days. Demonstrations began because of the detention and torture of children for spray-painting anti-Assad graffiti on the wall of their school. It was almost unthinkable in Syria – a tightly controlled country where people were afraid to utter any word against the regime. Yet “enough is enough”…

Justin Jefferson, wide receiver, Minnesota VikingsThe Vikings keep rolling and are still in contention for the top spot in the NFC North and a potential bye week.

Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of the bloodiest known massacre in British prehistory: an episode in rural Somerset, England, that occurred roughly 4,000 years ago. The site, first unearthed about 50 years ago, contains human remains marked by cut marks, shattered skulls and human chew marks, suggesting both a violent mass murder and cannibalism, or anthropophagy (human-specific cannibalism). Here’s what to know about the study of those remains and how it reshapes our perception of prehistory: What has been discovered? In a recent study, scientists in the United Kingdom reviewed about 3,000 fragmented bones that were initially unearthed by cavers in…
