Recent scientific breakthroughs have shed light on early human presence and innovative robotics. In Argentina, fossil bones of Neosclerocalyptus, a glyptodont relative, have cut marks suggesting humans were in southern South America approximately 21,000 years ago, much earlier than previously believed.

In another groundbreaking development, researchers at the University of Tokyo have successfully attached living skin tissue to robotic faces, making them 'smile.' This advancement opens new possibilities in cosmetics and medical applications, showcasing the potential for human-like robotic expressions.
