A new study has uncovered the childhood origins of 152 Africans rescued from illegal slave ships and taken to Saint Helena nearly 200 years ago. Using tooth chemistry, ancient DNA and historical records, researchers found they came from different parts of Central Africa, with many forced to travel long distances before reaching the coast. The findings help restore the identities of people whose lives were erased by the transatlantic slave trade.

Pioneering chimpanzee experiments revealed advanced intelligence and problem-solving skills. These apes demonstrated insight, challenging human uniqueness in reasoning. After their research, the chimpanzees faced harsh conditions in Berlin. Their welfare declined, and their lives were largely overlooked by history. New research highlights their forgotten stories and ethical responsibilities in science.
