While the Middle Paleolithic period is viewed as a dynamic time in European and African history, it is commonly considered a static period in East Asia. The discovery of a sophisticated set of stone tools at the Longtan site in southwest China, dated to 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, challenges that perception.

In a paper published in the journal BMC Biology, paleontologists described an extinct species of koinobiont parasitoid wasp found in mid-Cretaceous amber from the Kachin region of Myanmar. Named Sirenobethylus charybdis, this species may have used its Venus flytrap-like abdomen to capture and immobilize its prey.
