In the fast-paced rhythm of modern cities, mental health is no longer a quiet concern—it’s a public necessity. The constant hum of traffic, the pressure to perform, the isolation in crowds, and the relentless digital noise all contribute to a growing mental health crisis among urban adults. While cities offer opportunity, culture, and connection, they also breed stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue. That’s why seeking support from a qualified therapist near me is not just helpful—it’s essential.

For decades, a fossil collected in southern Germany lay unexamined in the storage vaults of a regional museum. It had been catalogued, archived, and largely forgotten. Only recently did researchers realize its significance: a remarkably preserved marine reptile that represents a new species from the Early Jurassic period, boasting an unusual body plan that could reshape understanding of ichthyosaur evolution. Formally named Eurhinosaurus mistelgauensis, the species was described in a peer-reviewed study published in Fossil Record on September 25, 2025. Discovered in the fossil-rich Mistelgau clay pit in Bavaria and housed at the Urwelt-Museum Oberfranken, the specimen includes nearly complete…

In a limestone cave overlooking the Loire River in central France, archaeologists have uncovered markings that may fundamentally rewrite our understanding of Neanderthal cognition. Sealed under 30 feet (9.14 m) of sediment for over 57,000 years, the cave walls at La Roche-Cotard bear deliberate finger tracings—engraved lines and arcs pressed into soft chalk by ancient hands. A peer-reviewed study published in PLOS ONE presents compelling evidence that these markings were created not by modern humans but by Neanderthals. The cave’s entrance was sealed by natural forces long before Homo sapiens arrived in this region of Europe, making Neanderthals the most…
