 * Baboons Vocalizations hint at origins of human speech.**

A new research has indicated that Baboons use five distinct vowel-like sounds that are similar to humans.Previous research assumed that the larnyx is required to make any distinct vowels. The human larynx is located in the lower neck, which the primates larynx is in the upper neck so it was believed that they could achieve those sounds.

 * Scientists "resurrect" wolly mammoth gene**

Scientists have found a way to genetically create the wolly mammoth again from ancient times. Scientists identified roughly 1.4 million genetic variants that were unique to woolly mammoths, and these variants caused changes to the proteins produced by roughly 1,600 different genes, different proteins means different physical and biochemical features.
