Scientists in Britain say ancient humans may have learned to make fire far earlier than previously believed, after uncovering evidence that deliberate fire-setting took place in what is now eastern England around 400,000 years ago. Until now, the oldest confirmed evidence had come from Neanderthal sites in what is now northern France dating to about 50,000 years ago. The discovery was made at Barnham, a Paleolithic site in Suffolk that has been excavated for decades.

The crew's 10-day mission will be filled with science, spacecraft tests, medical checks, survival training and more.

The eggs were discovered near the remains of a campfire believed to have been connected to prehistoric desert nomads who collected, cooked, and ate the eggs at the site. A cache of ostrich eggs dated from approximately 7,000-years-ago was discovered at an archaeological site near Nitzana in southern Israel, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said in a Sunday social media post.
