Congratulations and best wishes to Notre Dame de Paris!!

The centuries-old Paris landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens on Saturday, five-and-a-half years after a devastating fire destroyed its spire and roof and brought the entire Gothic masterpiece within minutes of collapsing. Report by Luke Shrago and Melina Huet.

Paranthropus boisei and Homo erectus hanging out at the same time in the same place?!! Now that's a party I want to go to!!!

Researchers say fossilised marks were apparently made in same place within days of each other about 1.5m years ago

For those who may be in the neighborhood, the Australian island of Norfolk has celebrated American Thanksgiving since the 1800s. The celebration began thanks to American whalers who visited the island and a local American consul and has continued ever since.

There's pumpkin pie, but also multiple banana dishes.

Sarah Josepha Hale was not only the editor of 'Godey's Lady's Book,' the most popular magazine in America before the Civil War, and the author of the nursery rhyme 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' she was also instrumental in having Thanksgiving declared a national holiday in 1863! For giving us all a day off in the middle of the week filled with overeating, sleeping, and football, I say "Hail, Hale!!"

It's Human Number One's dream to collaborate with the lead singer of Cake and the Dutch country singer on a journal article about the Canadian poet so that he can say in a podcast, "In their article 'The Genius of John McCrae,' John McCray, John McCrea, and John McCray say that..."

Somebody else is also celebrating a birthday this week! It's been 50 years since the skeleton of Lucy the Australopithecus afarensis was discovered on November 24, 1974, in Ethiopia! Happy Birthday, Lucille!!

Paleoanthropologists have learned a lot about Lucy, the world’s most famous hominin fossil, since she was discovered in 1974. And her fossils are still yielding new insights

Spending three days with Puritans talking about God (and nothing but God), eating wildfowl (goose, duck, pigeon), cornbread, corn porridge, and deer meat, AND, no alcohol or football? No one kept a precise diary of the first Thanksgiving, but it sounds like the type of party where I'd slip out early saying, "Well, I have to work in the morning..."

The history of the holiday meal tells us that turkey was always the centerpiece, but other courses have since disappeared
