| Earliest art in the Americas: Ice Age image of mammoth or mastodon found in Florida Posted: 21 Jun 2011 10:13 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a bone fragment, approximately 13,000 years old, in Florida with an incised image of a mammoth or mastodon. This engraving is the oldest and only known example of Ice Age art to depict a proboscidean (the order of animals with trunks) in the Americas.  |

| Consumer views on eating cloned animals: Americans more accepting than Europeans, study suggests Posted: 21 Jun 2011 08:41 AM PDT Not all consumers share the same attitudes toward animal cloning, but the latest research shows that Americans may be more accepting of consuming cloned animal products than Europeans.  |
| Astronomers discover that galaxies are either asleep or awake Posted: 21 Jun 2011 07:11 AM PDT Astronomers have probed into the distant universe and discovered that galaxies display one of two distinct behaviors: they are either awake or asleep, actively forming stars or are not forming any new stars at all. A new survey shows that even very young galaxies as far away as 12 billion light years display one of these two states, meaning galaxies have behaved this way for more than 85 percent of the history of the universe.  |
