Violence, the care of injured or ill individuals, and funerary behavior are among the most challenging aspects of the human past to reconstruct. A study published in Scientific Reports and led by researchers from the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH), in collaboration with colleagues from Tel Aviv University, provides new insights into these questions through the analysis of Qafzeh 25, a fossil human from Qafzeh Cave (Israel), dated to between 92,000 and 145,000 years ago.

Try and Guess the EVs That Netted the Most Driving Range in Our Testing

1. Lucid Air: 410 Miles

2022 lucid air grand touring

Break this list out by individual trims, and the Lucid Air takes three spots on it. The top one goes to an 819-hp Air Grand Touring we tested in 2022. But if the Grand Touring's price tag is a bit rich for your budget, then maybe the lesser Pure trim is more your style. The all-wheel-drive 480-hp Air Pure's 310-mile real-world range is nothing to scoff at despite being down 100 miles to the Grand Touring's. Lucid no longer offers the Pure with all-wheel drive, though. Rather, the 10Best-winning 2024 Air Pure comes exclusively in 430-hp rear-drive guise. Despite sharing a 92.0-kWh battery pack with the earlier dual-motor all-wheel-drive Pure (the aforementioned 2022 Air Grand Touring, meanwhile, sported a 112.0-kWh unit), the single-motor Air Pure netted just 300 miles of range in our hands.
