Ancient Homo sapiens may have benefited from sunscreen, tailored clothes and the use of caves during the shifting of the magnetic North Pole over Europe about 41,000 years ago, new University of ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries — such an event in future would increase our exposure to the Sun’s radiation that may ...
