Brown Adipose Tissue. Everyone is familiar with white adipose or fat tissue, which provides insulation and, by storing triglyceride, serves as an energy depot. Many mammals also have brown adipose tissue, which also stores triglyceride, but has the unique ability to generate heat.
What is the Earliest Art of Northern Africa? The oldest prehistoric art from North Africa is the early Stone Age quartzite figurine from Morocco known as the Venus of Tan-Tan. It has been carbon-dated to the period 200,000-500,000 BCE, and probably was created by advanced Acheulian peoples of north-western Africa on the main southerly route into Southern Europe.
Who Created the First Types of Stone Age Art? The earliest prehistoric artists lived in the Lower Paleolthic era, between roughly 300,000 and 1 million BCE. They would have been descendants of Homo erectus, the first type of early human to migrate from Africa, whose brain capacity was 800-1250 cubic centimetres.
