Posterior view of the crania of several hominids

South Africa: “Little Foot” Early Human Skeleton May Belong to Unknown Species! (1.11.2026)

For years, most paleoanthropologists believed that A. prometheus and Australopithecus africanus were so similar that they probably belonged to the same species. Jesse Martin of La Trobe University initially shared this view. However, a detailed examination of a key region at the back of Little Foot’s skull changed his perspective. This area corresponds precisely to the fossil fragment originally used to define A. prometheus in 1948. The researchers identified at least three major anatomical differences. The skull’s morphology shows greater similarities to much older hominins than to A. africanus, while also ruling out the possibility that Little Foot was simply a late-surviving representative of an ancient lineage.

China Manned Moon Landing Update 2026

China: Detailed Plans Unveiled for Manned Moon-Landing! (1.11.2026)

Under the scheme, two rockets would separately send the Lanyue lunar lander and Mengzhou crewed spaceship into the Earth-moon transfer orbit, and the two spacecraft would perform a rendezvous and docking in the lunar orbit. Astronauts would then transfer from the Mengzhou spaceship into the Lanyue lander for the descent to the lunar surface and subsequent scientific work.

Wang said the approach matches China’s existing technical capabilities and infrastructure, and the separate development of the spaceship and lunar lander can help standardize production and support the formation of a long-term family of vehicles.

While the plan also presents considerable challenges, Wang said the new system for mobilizing resources nationwide is the fundamental advantage for addressing them.

Where Does Material Reality Stop & Start!

UK: Communist Futurism – the “Future” in the “Present”! (28.10.2026)

This vague idea that the essence of the future reside in the present mind (and body) of humanity is used to exploit vulnerable and desperate individuals who seek answers in the present from a future technology that does not yet exist. This is why fake psychics (and the like) – who pretend (for the exchange of money) that they already possess these abilities – need to be exposed by the gate-keepers of hardline (material) science. Of course, things are no always what they may seen. Exposing a fake psychic should not be conflated with denying that the essence of the “future” resides in the “present”. All great innovations begin here and now with “vague” ideas of what might be. Material scientists carefully follow a very narrow and stringent process that measures time and space. This is an important power of the mind (and body). Exploiting one another for monetary profit is a major problem – with even the best material scientists often being paid to produce research that interprets reality in a certain manner.

Chinese Official in London - 1700s

UK: Holborn – Royal College of Surgery – Hunterian Museum! (18.10.2026)

Today, ordinary people can either not access free life-saving operations – or have to wait years to receive the treatment they so desperately need. Meanwhile, the reason waiting lists are so long – and operations difficult to acquire – is because the surgeons chose to privilege fee-paying (private) customers – instead of the general public (who pay their extortionate wages through general taxation). Since New Labour reforms – NHS-trained surgeons operate on the general public between 8am – 1pm – and then use NHS equipment, wards, and operating theatres to operate on private patients between 2pm – 8pm (hence the long waiting times for NHS operations). The later generates millions and is probably why this museum is able to remain “free” to enter. The queuing procedure is rather like trying to gain access to a high-class restaurant – something we would never do. There is even an Eastern European “host” who dresses like a head-waiter and uses structured small-talk to entertain the queue. Waits can be long.

Jurassic bird Yuezhuornis

China: Jurassic [Flightless] Bird Fossil Challenges Traditional Avian Evolutionary View! (16.10.2026)

The transition from land-dwelling dinosaurs to flying birds is one of the most remarkable events in the history of life, involving changes in the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems, skin-derived structures and behaviour, said Wang, the study’s corresponding author and a co-first author.

Macro-evolutionary models suggest that birds originated and began diversifying during the Jurassic Period. However, the scarcity of bird fossils from this critical period has left scientists with limited direct evidence of how the characteristic bird body plan emerged.

Analysts identified features of Beagle 2 in photos of Mars

UK: The Story of Mars-Probe – “Begale 2” – a Very British Story of Glorious Failure! (8.10.2026)

Professor Colin Pillinger was the driving force behind a mini “British Space Programme” that would have rivelled the Soviet imitative – and defied the US domination of the time (2003). We were staying with my parents in Torquay during the Xmas season of 2003 – and we kept the radio on through the night to listen to live coverage – to be part of the “British” probe landing on Mars! As Beagle 2 approached Mars all was fine – but as it came down to land – all suddenly went “silent”. For months afterwards there was speculation – but no answers. Then, in 2014, a US probe discovered a partly “landed” Beagle 2 – which seemed to have deployed – but only after trapping its only aerial (preventing all communication). Professor Colin Pillinger had passed-away just 8-months before his space-machine was discovered – and proven to have been mostly successful. Someone commented to me that this was like “Dunkirk” all-over again! We can take it.
