CSUN's Robert Krol: America’s highways and bridges aren’t exactly ’crumbling’
Interstate 85 reopened in Atlanta earlier this month, six weeks after a homeless man allegedly set a fire that caused a bridge collapse and shut down the freeway in both directions.

Traces of some of South America’s earliest people found under ancient dirt pyramid
The Huaca Prietans managed to do all this with surprisingly simple stone tools.

The similar tools could be evidence for the very first coastal migration, he says. But the only way to know for sure is to find more coastal sites. -- Science Magazine
