Australopithecus-Skelette: Fossilien revolutionieren Bild der Menschwerdung - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Wissenschaft Die Strahlzeit ist kostbar am Synchrotron in Grenoble. Rund 7000 Wissenschaftler kommen alljährlich hierher, um die stärkste Röntgenquelle der Welt zu nutzen. Molekularbiologen und Pharmaforscher, Luftfahrttechniker und Geophysiker, Kunsthistoriker und Materialwissenschaftler wetteifern darum, ihre Proben in dieses einzigartige Licht halten zu dürfen. Doch selbst für die Synchrotron-Manager war "MH 1" etwas Besonderes. Und noch ein zweites Individuum haben die Forscher untersucht: "MH 2" war weiblich, wahrscheinlich Ende 20, Anfang 30, Hand und Becken sind bemerkenswert gut erhalten. Ihre Ergebnisse präsentieren sie jetzt in gleich fünf Artikeln des Wissenschaftsmagazins "Science". Nur vereinzelte Knochen bezeugen bisher diese Ära, in der aus der Vormenschengattung Australopithecus der Urmensch Homo hervorgegangen sein muss. "Dies ist eine Grundlage für Dutzende von Wissenschaftlerkarrieren" Mehr als 500 bisher unbekannte Vorzeit-Höhlen spürte Berger so auf.

To save time, you can make the miniature pies up to 2 days in advance — just store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make the cupcakes. The pies can also be prepared quickly with premade pie crust—as I’ve said, there’s no shame in taking shortcuts.
