An Oxford university astrophysicist has found that black holes that existed in previous universes and evidence of their remains are spotted in cosmic microwave radiation (CMB). If true, it would mean that the universe we live in is not the first one to ever exist. Leading thinkers are now calling for a modified version of the Big Bang to account for this multiverse theory. The theory is called conformal cyclic cosmology, or CCC, and states that universes develop, expand and die in sequence.
Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a lost city in China that thrived more than 4,000 years ago. On a ridge above China’s Tuwei River, researchers found a massive stepped pyramid that once served as a palace center, along with defensive stone walls, tool-making debris, and a pit filled with sacrificial human skulls. The Bronze Age discoveries challenge our understanding of early Chinese civilization and settlement, suggesting the loess highland was home to a complex society long before the traditionally assumed ‘centers’ emerged in the Central Plains.

A study of a tiny bone fragment (centre inset image) excavated at the Denisova cave (main image) in Russia's Altai Mountains shows the teenager had a Neanderthal (top left; artist's impression) mother and a Denisovan (bottom left; artist's impressin) father, and provides fresh insight into the manner in which the now-extinct species interacted. The find suggests that our ape-like cousins mated far more frequently than researchers first thought, according to archaeologists. Neanderthals and Denisovans share a common ancestor with humans, and roamed Eurasia as far back as 400,000 years ago having migrated from Africa (top right inset). The pair of human-like species then intermingled with modern humans when they arrived on the continent around 40,000 years ago, with members of the three species sometimes cross-breeding. This means that tiny amounts of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA can be found in our genome today, with a study last year discovering that as much as 2 per cent of our DNA was passed to us from Neanderthals. Research in March showed that at least two modern human genomes - one from Oceania and another from East Asia - have distinct Denisovan ancestry.
