When you are little, there are not many games that are more fun to play than hide and go seek. It combines all of the best elements of a childhood game. You can run, collaborate with friends and best of all, hide from adults. Unfortunately, as you get older, the game becomes less and less magical. If only there was a way to see hide and seek as a little kid does. The good news for all of us is that chance is finally here. That’s right, thanks to Dan Iverson and his wife, we can once again feel like a kid playing hide and seek. When the parents were playing with their toddler they had a genius idea. Dan strapped a GoPro on his kid’s head and ran away to hide and what happened next is seriously adorable. The child wandered from room to room, looking for his mom and dad. Even the dog shows up to make a cameo appearance. After a confusing minute or two of searching, eventually the kid opened the closet and found his parents waiting for him there. The end result is a heartwarming video that will definitely make you feel like you are a kid once again. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/parents-and-kids-play-hide-and-seek/

Advertisement What is the process of creating a scientific consensus when faced with a complicated puzzle? In October of 2013 new hominin fossils was discovered in the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system. Scientists found 1550 fossil specimens, providing multiple examples of different skeletal elements. None of these samples were attributable to previously known hominin species, and thus Homo naledi was born. To study this newly discovered evolutionary link, paleoanthropologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Lee Berger, brought together a team of experts and specialists for a 30-day workshop. In this clip from the NOVA/National Geographic special, “Dawn of Humanity,” scientists discuss the processes and challenges they faced while of examining the Naledi fossils. The NOVA documentary will premiere on September 16, 2015, but if you would like to get a head start you can read the study’s findings by visiting this site, http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.09560.
