1990s politics set up discovery in the village of Nikiti northern Greece. Fossils in Greece Suggest Human Ancestors Evolved in Europe, Not Africa a concept dating back to Darwin’s proposal in 1871 to reshape our understanding of our own origins. NOT the university of today.
The village of Nikiti in northern Greece has become the center of a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of human evolution. Fossils unearthed here, believed to be around 8 or 9 million years old, were initially thought to be linked to an extinct ape known as Ouranopithecus. However, recent analyses have opened the door to the possibility that these fossils may belong to a previously unknown species, suggesting a European origin for human ancestors.
This revelation stands in contrast to the widely accepted view that our lineage began in Africa, a theory rooted in Charles Darwin’s 1871 proposal. Darwin posited that all hominins, our modern and extinct human relatives, originated from a common group in Africa. Yet, he also considered the potential for a European origin, given the fossil evidence of large apes found on the continent.
The fossils from Nikiti lend support to Darwin’s alternative hypothesis, indicating that Europe may have been the cradle for the group that eventually led to hominins. This line of thinking suggests that the first known hominin, Graecopithecus, which lived in what is now Greece, was preceded by the species represented by the Nikiti fossils. It raises the intriguing possibility that hominins later migrated to Africa.
It is crucial to acknowledge that this new interpretation is not without its skeptics within the anthropological community. The debate continues, fueled by ongoing research and scholarly discussion. The notion that Southeastern Europe might have once been home to the ancestors of many species now associated with Africa adds a fascinating layer to the discourse. The Nikiti discovery indeed offers a fresh lens through which to view human evolution, underscoring the intricate tapestry of our origins.

The Loch Ness Centre in the Highlands has asked NASA and universities to help in a new hunt for the Loch Ness Monster.
The Loch Ness Centre, located in the Highlands of Scotland, has reached out to NASA, as well as other scientists and universities, to lend their expertise in a new search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster. This request comes on the 90th anniversary of the first organized surface watch of Loch Ness, known as the Sir Edward Mountain’s expedition, which took place from May 30 to June 2
.
Since the first expedition in 1934, there have been over 1,156 reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster on the official Loch Ness Monster sightings register. Last year, a large search of Loch Ness concluded with a hydrophone capturing loud underwater noises and several potential sightings
[[5]].
The Loch Ness Centre has partnered with Loch Ness Exploration (LNE), an independent and voluntary research team, along with hundreds of in-person and virtual volunteers, to conduct these searches. The aim of this collaboration is to utilize state-of-the-art technology and scientific expertise to uncover the mysteries of Loch Ness and potentially shed light on the existence of the legendary creature
.
The Loch Ness Centre is hoping that by involving NASA and other experts, they can gather new equipment and expertise to enhance their search efforts. This year’s search is expected to be one of the largest hunts for the Loch Ness Monster in over 50 years, attracting researchers, monster hunters, and enthusiasts from around the world .
It’s important to note that despite numerous reported sightings and searches, the existence of the Loch Ness Monster remains unproven. The search efforts, however, continue to captivate the imagination of people worldwide and contribute to the ongoing folklore surrounding the legendary creature .
Overall, the Loch Ness Centre’s request for assistance from NASA and universities demonstrates their commitment to exploring the mysteries of Loch Ness and engaging experts from various fields in their search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster

Born November 11, 1864, in Rouen, France was part of Italian descent, and of a mother who came from an old Norman family. Maurice Leblanc, in full Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc, (born Dec. 11, 1864, Rouen, France—died Nov. 6, 1941, Paris), French author and journalist, known as the creator of Arsène Lupin, French gentleman-thief. Leblanc abandoned his law studies to become a pulp crime writer. Commissioned in 1905 to write a crime story for the French periodical Je sais tout, he created “L’Arrestation d’Arsène Lupin” (“The Arrest of Arsène Lupin”) Lupin was a forerunner of Simon Templar (the Saint) and other Robin Hoods of modern crime.
He had studied law, but abandoned that for a career in writing. He initially wrote for various periodicals, with “Une Femme” being his first published work in 1887. He gained fame in France and abroad after starting his Arsène Lupin series of novels. Lupin was a gentleman-thief who was a master of disguise and made his first appearance in 1905 in “L’arrestation d’Arséne Lupin”. In 1908 LeBlanc pitted Lupin against Sherlock Holmes in “Arsène Lupin Versus Holmlock Shears”. Leblanc would eventually produce 20 volumes worth of Lupin’s adventures.
“L’Arrestation d’Arsène Lupin” (“The Arrest of Arsène Lupin) in Je sais tout (July 15, 1905). In this story, he introduced for the first time his extraordinary creation, Arsène Lupin. The story proved popular, and other stories about Arsène Lupin followed during 1906-1907. These stories were then collected to make up the first volume of the series, Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur (1907; The Exploits of Arsène Lupin, 1907; also known as The Seven of Hearts and The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar). Leblanc now devoted himself almost entirely to recording the adventures of his criminal-hero, who appeared in twenty novels or collections of short stories, the last of the series appearing in 1941. When not engaged in the art of writing, Leblanc read the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Honoré de Balzac, played chess, and cycled through the countryside. A photograph of Leblanc, taken perhaps when he was in his forties, discloses a not unhandsome face with dark gimletlike eyes, a prominent Roman nose, a mouth largely concealed by a scraggly handlebar mustache, and a strong chin. Altogether he appears more Italian than French.

Influences The character Arsène Lupin III, the protagonist of the Japanese manga Lupin III beginning in 1967, was written as the grandson of Arsène Lupin, though without permission from Leblanc’s estate. This was later the source of a lawsuit, though the copyright on Leblanc’s work has since expired. When the anime version was broadcast in France, the character was renamed Edgar, le détective cambrioleur (“Edgar, the Burglar Detective”). The authors of the various Lupin III properties drew on Leblanc’s novels as inspiration; notably, the film The Castle of Cagliostro was loosely based on La Comtesse de Cagliostro (The Countess of Cagliostro).
