An archaeological find in Russia has shed light on the migration of modern humans into Europe. Artefacts uncovered at the Kostenki site, south of Moscow, suggest modern humans were at this spot about 45,000 years ago. The first moderns may have entered Europe through a different route than was previously thought, the international team reports.
Whilst in Greece, new research indicates that the Mediterranean island of Kefalonia was probably once two separate islands. The team believes a huge in-fall of rock in the last 3,000 years may have built a land-bridge between the two. If correct, the researchers say, it would support their view that Paliki was the real site for Homer's Ithaca.
Finally, scientists from the University of Bologna have recreated the face of the poet Dante.
