Who is this?

(Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, 1642 - London, 1727) English scientist.
Founder of classical physics, which would maintain full force until the time of Einstein, Newton's work represents the culmination of the scientific revolution initiated a century earlier by Copernicus.

In his mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687) he established the three fundamental laws of motion and deduced from them the fourth law or law of universal gravitation, which explained with complete accuracy the orbits of the planets, thus achieving the unification of terrestrial mechanics And heavenly.

A posthumous and premature son, his mother prepared for him a farmer's destiny; But finally he was convinced of the talent of the boy and sent to the University of Cambridge, where he had to work to pay for his studies.

Neanderthals took "aspirins"

The researchers uncovered in the journal Nature hitherto unpublished aspects of the life of Neanderthals, the intelligent human "other species", which disappeared from Europe shortly after the arrival of the first modern humans, our direct ancestors.
The work showed that the Neanderthals were able to adapt to their environment much better than was believed and they dominated a number of medicinal plants, which they used without problem to cure diseases and ailments.
Among them, the fungus Penicillium and the bark of the poplar, which contains the active principle of modern aspirins. These novelties were discovered because it was possible to analyze, for the first time, the DNA contained in the dental calculus deposits of these Neanderthals.
