Introduction High resolution AFM allows for the visualization of the adsorbed polymer chains. If the chains are rapidly trapped by the substrate the twodimensional structures visualized with AFM reflect the sample prehistory in solution. In contrast to scattering methods the single molecule AFM experiments allow for the investigation of the molecules deposited from very diluted solutions when t...

The evolution of the concept of time, from the first hunters-gatherers communities of the Paleolithic to the Newtonian physics is shortly reviewed. In particular, attention id paid to the social needs that contributed to change this concept from the Prehistory to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age, the classical philosophy, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, up to the birth of modern sci...

Kiesler’s principle of Correalism and Gieidon’s appeal for Equipoise offer both a prehistory ...

The recent development of paleogenetics has had a large impact on much archaeology. Particularly surprising been the discovery connection between Iberian Peninsula and Eurasian steppes, an unexpected link first stages metallurgy at opposite ends Europe. Recent studies human remains from Copper Bronze Age Spain Portugal have shown significant presence genomes types geneticists attribute to Yamna...
