Around 200,000 years ago, a group of ancient humans called Neanderthals or Homo neanderthalensis lived in Eurasia (Europe and Asia). But they mysteriously became extinct around 40,000 years ago and were replaced by Homo sapiens or modern-day humans.

We’re almost at February 29, a special date that only comes around once every four years. It’s a leap day—an extra day that gets added to the end of February of the calendar every four years. It’s pretty cool, don’t you think? Normally, we have 365 days a year, but we get an extra day […]
Ok, so I feel that 12 is old enough to be trusted with makeup, but I know of some people who don’t agree. I feel like makeup is something that should be allowed as long as people are sensible. I know this is kinda a random one but I would love to know what you […]

In the […]

On December 25, 2022, a 10-year-old girl named Scarlett Doumato sent a partially-eaten cookie and two half-eaten baby carrots to the Cumberland Police Department.

Happy 2023 Everyone! What are your New Year’s Resolutions? Answer below in the comments.
The Earth’s structure is divided into four main components: the crust, the mantle, and the inner and outer cores. If you think about it, our planet is a lot like an onion—made up of layers after another. The thin crust is the outermost layer, mostly made of solid rock, basalt, and granite. It’s the surface […]

But this idea of making resolutions may also feel difficult and overwhelming, especially if you commonly struggle to follow through with a commitment.
