March of Science: Carbon-14 Dating Shifts North America Hoaxes
A Columbia University Lamont Geological Laboratory study of a Santa Rosa Island dwarf elephant bone, dated at 29 650 years, suggests humans butchered and possibly cooked meat, yet no human skeletons are found. The finding, tied to Willard Libby’s carbon-14 method, extends the timeline for human presence in North America well beyond earlier estimates and prompts doubt about the age of other relics. Other sites like Sandia Cave and Tule Springs yield ages over 23 800 to 25 000 years with signs of tool use and bone processing, while researchers note no definitive human skeletons across these early discoveries.

Taxi Drivers In Paris Face Higher Fares
Paris taxi drivers will begin journeys with a 100 franc meter opening fare and 10 franc increments covering shorter distances, costing more for riders. The change, approved by authorities, aims to reduce drivers’ eating interruptions by making passengers pay more for each trip. The World Series note cites Hod Eller of Cincinnati achieving six consecutive strikeouts in 1919.
