Some news on migration. At Schöningen in Lower Saxony, a milk tooth of a macaque some 310,000 years old has been found. The tooth was recovered as long ago as 2004, but has been studied only now. Scientists from Leiden University and the Senckenberg Centre at the University of Tübingen have established that it belonged to a baby of about a year old, of a species close to the modern Barbary macaque. Today these monkeys live in Morocco, Algeria and Gibraltar. The Schöningen find is the northernmost evidence of macaques in continental Europe: it lies roughly 1,800 kilometres north of the species' present range. At that time birches and pines grew around the lake at Schöningen, and the winters were at least a degree colder than today's.
