April Nowell, a University of Victoria paleo-anthropologist, led the team from Canada, Jordan and the United States, that uncovered the oldest evidence of human hunting and scavenging.
By extracting proteins from Stone Age tools. that date back 250,000 years they wiped out the previous oldest protein evidence from early human tools that went back only 11,500 years.
Terry Haig spoke to Professor Nowell to find out more about their findings.
New technologies are revealing that many birds fly farther, faster, and on more varied routes than previously thought.

Lynn Desjardins spoke with Kevin Smith, national manager of boreal programs for Ducks Unlimited Canada, to find out more.

It has been an interesting summer in Canada… rain, rain, rain in the west and heat and dry weather mostly in the east…. but it has been great for the blueberries.
The crop is fantastic this summer in Quebec! Gregg Edwards, a blueberry farmer just south of Montreal, says the crop is gigantic!
I spoke with him earlier this week to find out more about this bounty and why Chinese investors are getting interested!
