• Scientists from the University of Cordoba analyzed the wine and determined it to be the oldest liquid wine ever found.  Here's what we know:
• It is reddish brown and sherry-like
• Found in a Roman tomb in the town of Carmona
• The urn containing the wine also contained cremated bones and a gold ring
• There were 5 liters of wine in the urn
• Organic chemists believe it was originally a white wine and not toxic
• The wine is very similar to wines in the region today
• So would you be tempted to have a sip...not me - aging with old bones and a ring doesn't sound too tasty!

• The face of our oldest ancestor from 300,000 year ago has been recreated thanks to the latest in technology.  It is remarkably similar to us.  Here are some key facts:
• Using a 3D scan of the skull and the latest in computer technology, Brazilian graphics expert Cicero Moraes brought the 300,000-year-old face back to life
• Moraes used data provided by researchers at the Max Planck Institute
• Features of the face like the jaw and teeth are very similar to humans today
• The fossils were found in Morocco at the Jebel Irhoud site
• Very advanced technology was used by the Max Planck researchers to retrieve the fossils
• Big discovery - the fossils prove that humans evolved 100,000 years earlier than previously thought
• Moraes describes the 300,000-year-old man as "strong and serene"
• If you ever wondered what mankind looked like 300,000 years ago, now we know!
