Executives at a Chinese cosmetics company have emerged as the latest candidates for bosses of the year after they flew 4,500 employees to the Netherlands for a five-day company holiday.

Dutch media said the workers spent upwards of £5 million as they toured cities and the countryside. The tourist group was so large there was not enough available hotel rooms in Amsterdam to accommodate all of them. Workers were spread across Amsterdam, but some wound up staying at hotels in The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam and Utrecht.Ninety buses were hired to ferry the employees around the countryIt was the single biggest tourist group to ever visit the European countryThe workers spent upwards of £5 million as they toured Dutch citiesDutch media said the visitors preferred Chinese dishes over local food

Scott Peterson horrified the nation when he was convicted 10 years ago for murdering his 8-months-pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner. While he was sentenced to death for the crime, the likelihood that the 42-year-old will actually be executed is unlikely in California where the last death row inmate was killed in 2006. Perhaps most shocking though is the fact that Peterson lives a relatively 'cushy' life at the Bay Area's 163-year-old San Quentin prison - which houses the largest death row population in the nation.

The first early human ancestors to leave Africa were scrawny little creatures that walked more like apes, according to a new study that is challenging existing theories on the origin of our species. For years it was thought that the first early human to walk from the African continent into Asia and Europe was the tall and muscular Homo erectus. But new analysis of early human fossils has suggested it may have actually been a far more diminutive species known as Homo habilis, or 'Handy man', that first made the journey. The findings are likely to be highly controversial as no fossils belonging to Homo habilis have been discovered outside Africa.New analysis of early human fossils has challenged conventional theoriesMost experts believe tall, muscular Homo erectus was first to leave AfricaThe new study suggests Homo habilis, known as Handy Man, beat themIt suggests Homo erectus did not evolve in Africa but moved there later
