of his vision, ah, where does the world so call to largest democracy? stand with where is india headed? this is the moment to unleash on, on violet bars, on these legacy. start august 6th on b w. why do a professor and his students keep going to a forest to inspect dead pigs? what are the repercussions of our hunger for energy plus researchers, shedding light on a stone age? who done it? ah, welcome to tomorrow to day, the science program on d. w. survey show that on the risk front were especially

afraid of crime and accidents. but actually we should be more concerned with less visible dangers, such as hardy vascular disease because we eat too much and exercise too little, which is pretty much the opposite scenario. torah stone age ancestors because they had to move around a lot to find and kept their food. although what they should have been wary of were fellow humans with less than neighborly intentions. on and lower leg bones broken by blunt force. skulls pierced by arrows thousands of years old bones that testify to a brutal crime. this is a fall. this is a now really woman from intimate and if you look at the scarf and the inside us,

if you can see that the arrow head with such force that a piece broke off inside the skull to pick a blood this. ah, the bones come from a cave high up in the spanish pyrenees as trucks. for 10 years, archaeologists have been working there on the reconstruction of a blood bath from thousands of years ago. german anthropologist caught out has been there from the beginning and is responsible for analyzing the human remains. not village was and of course there was a very big surprise that something like a massacre took place there. cost of one, not the excavation work is arduous. the archaeologists are removing tons of earth from the cave. the rubble they hope contains information about the events long ago. down in the canvas, the mud deceived and washed. in addition to animal bones and countless pieces of

pottery, the researchers gradually uncovered bone fragments of 8 individuals. for adults and 4 children, all of them were brutally murdered. there isn't as to you of oxen, other shocking ruin. we know that all the adults were shot and we can prove that with the bones of north dick and then the bones were also broken. the kid doesn't even foster stump. the children also died by blunt force. and then their bodies were taken to a cave. and just left their door tots leading lawson vaughan, but who were the murdered people? back in the laboratory at the danube university comes caught out and his colleague nicole nicholas take a closer look at the bones. first. they analyze dna from the inside of the temporal bone. does eat under sleep here you can see this part from inside the skull. if the scholars will preserve this or the bone is well protected. and it's better from a dna as a vacant standpoint, as opposed to an arm, leg, ribbon, hand,

or foot bone. one result of the dna analysis proves these people weren't from the region about 9000 years ago, farmers from the east settled in central europe. and eventually in what is now spain, the dead of as throats were descendants of these early farmers. but they were not alone in their new homeland. they encountered native hunter gatherer groups were the date of as trucks. victims of a bloody conflict between 2 completely different clans of so called isotope analysis of bones and tooth enamel should help solve the mystery . it reveals how these people fed themselves that's on smith's tinge, andy enamel, that i find on this specific tooth that what tell me what this man aid for the 1st 4 years of his life in an instant, fia latency,

octagon tooth enameled doesn't change after childhood. the chemical composition is therefore a piece of the puzzle about childhood nutrition. bones are different. they tell us what people 8 in the last years of their life. because bones renew themselves completely every 10 years. but what does this tell us about the dead of as drugs? 7 of the 8 individuals had the same food spectrum in their youth as when they were adults. only one had changed. he had probably migrated from central europe than the course of his life. probably most of the immigrants were already living in the 2nd or 3rd generation in what is now spain. but what were the people doing up there in the mountains where there's virtually no land for agriculture and the winters are bitterly cold. the researcher hazard a guess ah,

the 8 individuals were shepherds who drove their livestock to graze in the mountains. this is supported by the fact that the group consisted of older adults and children. while the young and hard working part of the clan cultivated crops in the valley, the old and the children moved with the cattle to the mountains in summer, but who murdered them so brutally. so far, the archaeologists have not found any traces of the perpetrators in the cave. nevertheless, court out has an idea. this is natalie, nevada, who portez, it's just our hypothesis of course owns the rashandra cut courses. it's more likely that these early farmers encountered hunter gatherers who killed them up there and on thus easy closet and on good golf, talking about all of us. once we came to that conclusion, due to the brutality that took place at a spot before, not,

it's also possible that the perpetrators were farmers. but would they have been so efficient and brutal? if there were any bones of the perpetrators left behind court out could solve the mystery. but as long as none are found, the l strokes cave is keeping it secret to itself. solving crimes is often an uphill battle, but over time, investigators have had access to a growing box of tools. in the 18th century, foot shoe and huff prints were used to identify parties to the crime scene. as science, advanced investigator started to seek more advice from experts such as doctors and chemist wanted photos enabled suspects to be identified and arrested within a matter of hours. and once fingerprints were determined to be one of the kind they to were used in forensic investigations. the 20th century song,

growing number of perpetrators using fire arms. soon enough, experts came along who could say which gun fired the lethal shot. and now computers and dna analysis are also helping to track down criminals. but it's still difficult to clarify one forensic question. the exact time of death in old military sites, mere moon sta in north western germany is hosting an unusual training course today for forensic biology, students and instructors from the criminal police unit. they're going to learn 1st hand how corpse is decompose and what traces they leave behind. 5 of his english mailed like a white board. i last got all to likes, how warm it, i guess you could say, among other things, with 100 wide bar. not very nicely so nice.

a few weeks earlier, preparations began for this unusual outdoor experiment. biologist, yes. amens from the institute of forensic medicine in frankfort, is using pig carcasses to study the decomposition process. the league? yes, wine club house, we lay the carcasses out here. hilda, oh the uncle, but some of them are inside the tent and some are out in the open. kinda we want to see if the car is, is decomposed differently at different speeds, for example, because there's more moisture in attendance, but maybe it's harder for insects to get to them. so i think no one knows exactly how corpse is in germany. decompose under the prevailing climate conditions here. yes, almond an expert in forensic entomology wants to obtain reliable data. this could help in determining the time of death, for example, which is crucial for alibis in murder case. the problem is that if the results of

this experiment were ever used, their reliability could be called into question isn't limited seen as a switch in medicine. it's very common to use pigs as a model to understand what happens in the human body. ah, but in court and they might ask, you said, how certain can you be that this would be the same for a human corpse of life? so it would be good to get some data on human corpses to also will be an excursion to this. and forensic scientists have sometimes referred to findings from the us, so called body farms have existed there for years. scientific, corpse gardens, where researchers lay out human bodies and investigate which insects colonize them and when or how the environment and whether affect the decomposition. the resources in europe are much more limited. must keep. so i know one does one in amsterdam at the university hospital with this area of land has been cordoned off sooner,

but it's very small cuz we're not much bigger than a tennis court also goes into. and the other downside, as you can see in the next picture, is that the bodies have to be buried the mix. we need an airy that allows us to carry out experiments above ground to move in all the various conditions that we have in central europe. little obama georgia, experimental over a dish, tuition. so i'm, it's vision for the future is clear a body farm in germany for the moment. however, what matters to the researcher is the results from his experiments with pegs. the foresee among the does, what we are doing here is being done for the 1st time. and that's why i'm really excited. and we also want to use the opportunity to support police and let biology students really experience what decomposition means that

the past 3 weeks nature has done its work on the pay carcases. now students of forensic biology and police instructors are working together closely that was perform hoping to gain insights for their work and for this order . so all the criminal officials, i think this is vicky lloyd, as against addison, i honestly didn't think the trial would result in a bony skeleton after 3 weeks and an skillet through evolve of a brush, a human. so it means we investigate is don't have much time if you type in practice . criminologists and forensic experts rarely have to deal with comparable decomposition. but when they do, it's always necessary to clarify whether the crime is a serious one, such as a murder. and 2 thirds of the corpse is infested with insects are found indoors. in sage caruana's, no, all insect can necessarily get into the tent or even larger animal. i'm listening,

that's by i would have imagined something like that. on the other hand, i thought it would be faster because it would be wal mimus. now the students have to secure the evidence. they need samples of the maggots. flies and beetle is found on and under the pay carcass. this is because their type and stage of development provide clues about the time of death and whether the place where they were found is also the scene of the crime. fizzing us in we are seeing that decomposition is slower in these turns than it normally is. this is the empirical data that we lack so far biting in contrast to the exposed pigs by boat has formed on various areas of the body of the 10 pig calling. and we now have taken swats to see what kind of molded is bosses from chima pants. is important findings that can be decisive in real cases, but one thing is clear, the result here cannot be transferred one to one to humans. must. the criminologist, of course, is not interested in the decomposition process of

a peg in sooner but of human bodies. as mentioned among come to term a forensics perspective things we could actually learn on train of body farms like this using m u m, thereby solving real murder case is better. so why are there no body farms in germany? ethical concerns, legal hurdles, ins i'm and beliefs. there are solutions for all of these. he's even been offered land and body donations. however, facility my body farms dropped, not the idea of the body farm hasn't worked out yet because even though i keep seeing signs of interest, i always end up organizing everything myself and the most. that means what we actually need is to get a real commitment from all of this interest and good, intentional small also will come. but until then, decomposition researchers in germany will have to make do with paid carcases. psychologist say we're afraid of a lot of things, but not necessarily the things we should be afraid of. a lot of people

underestimate one of our biggest problems, climate change scientists believe this is because it's a complex matter and the consequences are manifold. which is why we continue to endanger our own future. so far, we only know of one planet in the universe where more advanced life forms have developed. and one species on earth has surpassed all the others in its development . it lives in complex societies and as built up whole arsenals of tools and cultures. but it's a system that requires energy, loss of energy. the home life is sought to something we tried to calculate and a huge study, how much energy the human race has already used and how we found that in the last

70 years. since the start of the and to placene age, we've used one and a half times the amount that was used in the whole 12000 years before that as about energy consumption has accelerated. how mishal any path. since the mid 20th century, the human race has altered the earth's ecosystem so dramatically that scientists now refer to the anthro posting epic, the new age of human activity. we now use nearly $170.00 trillion kilowatt hours of energy per year, and that global population is growing. it's set to reach 10000000000 by 2015 in our thirst for energy. we're exploiting the planet. if we continue like this, we can destroy every natural habitat because everything is interlinked. that becomes especially clear when you look at our food production. we've come to the zinc in bag museum in frankfurt to meet falco most bogo. believe

funder not to we live from nature via and each year we're taking more from nature than will grow bags of and so we're eating away at the capital from which we live up front invalid. and it's an absurd situation. we're actually destroying energy. we use more calories to produce our food than we get that meat from industrial farming loses the most energy up to 90 percent land for grazing and for growing feed takes up near the 80 percent of all farmland worldwide. we're majorly impacting, of fragile system, wendy's oper until out of imagine this apple were our planet earth that we were the diameter of 12 to 13000 kilometers full. meaning that these guy, alta, this skin, represents the soil that we're effectively drawing the energy from that 8, liam,

people are living off like this, less than one meter. hoity, he integrates infant ability, humanities, hunger is insatiable, cheap production methods, mano cultures, and farming for maximum yields, increasingly degrade the soil. groundwater reserves are dropping around the world, including in spain, a key producer of europe. spetchko balls are probably not a guns feel are going produce. we is lots of water that we use fertilizers, what and speed things up and boost production. which cuts cause we does everything in phosphate, which are finite resource in nitrogen to for the last half of it enters our rivers and impacts our seas to our merit. and what's more, around one 3rd of the food that is produced and transported around the globe actually goes to waste

water in a key for. so since the big energy goes less our food production maternity, then you have all the fire tree production limiting on since then the whole area of trans hold and travel a fast, not off the shrink. and so far, we've only focused on reducing the big energy cost lives in factory leslie to littleton in the future. we really need to look more closely at our mobility and not just a big foundry. nicholson for placing traffic worldwide emits more than $8000000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. that's nearly a quarter of global carbon emissions. then there were other greenhouse gases, but even when we humans don't move around, we still use energy. so far, the internet only accounts for one per cent of global electricity consumption. but if the internet were a country, it would be one of the biggest electricity users worldwide. around 4500000000 people are online. and just 20 searches and an online search engine uses enough

electricity to power and energy saving light bulb for an hour. the real guzzlers are the air conditioning systems for the big internet servers. they run night and day, including here in frankfurt, one of the world's biggest internet hubs, vic in front of analysis, and we expect the internet to increase to 13 or 14 percent of global electricity usage over the next decade and a, that's a huge growth with everything going digital in emit is a constant even just setting up 5 g or les to 6 g, you know, or can seem huge amounts of energy army in lucky for us. 2 5, g, and 6, g will provide the basis for data intensive technologies like smart home and self driving vehicles. the digital revolution is only just beginning all of us could make changes to our daily lives, to impact the earth less. but we also need large scale changes in our economic

systems. if language hasn't, i name a cellphone, contains lithium and lots more. but we only recycle the small amount of gold in it . we need to see these things that have been mind as valuable enough to be recycled and retained in a circular economy in christ loaf behind the line hold. line felder says, a real circular economy is what's needed. we need to learn from the biosphere. the sun's energy is the source of all life. what's no longer needed gets broken down to create something new. nothing is lost in a system driven by money. humanity means to start factoring in the damage it's inflicting on the earth. in germany alone, farmers create 21000000000 euros was a produce. but compare that with 90000000000 euros and cost. once you include the environmental damage, it's a huge loss maker in industry when exploring, say the costs are externalized, no $1.00 pays for it, them,

but society suddenly has a problem with c o 2 nitrogen and the ground water, phosphates and i ecosystems equal because so shaft most on so society bears the consequences hot say, and that's the key problem. why we need to change in this comprehensive change is imperative if our planet is to have a future. surely the most intelligent of all species on earth ought to be capable of that intelligence helps, but it's no guarantee against getting things wrong. as any psychologist will tell you, we don't really know who we are or what we're really good at. and where do we fit in between the smallest and biggest things on earth? that's what carlos on friday from columbia wanted to know from us. here's the answer. to our humans small

or are they big blue? our height is usually measured when standing up. ringback from the soul of the foot to the crown and the head. humans very in size. so statistics experts calculate averages. the world's tallest men are said to live in the netherlands. also the tallest women. while the smallest men come from east timorese, with and the smallest women from guatemala, compared to the butch calif in dubai, the tallest building in the world, we are very tiny, but huge compared to a grain of sand. an average sized woman is more than 2 trillion times the size of a carbon atom gigantic. in other words, whether were small or large is always relative. the largest animals in the world

live in the ocean, the blue whales they reach an average body length of about 30 meters, or as much as 16 tall men to compare to other mammals. there are many species that make us look small. in contrast, we're more than $400.00 times the size of a ladybug. there are even creatures for whom we are an entire ecosystem. a whole universe, the microbes around 300000000 bacteria live on our skin. around 100000000 alone live in our mouths and 70 trillion, help with digestion in the intestines. so the question of how big we are can be answered with comparisons. maybe we should be judged by our abilities.

to a large extent, there thanks to our brains. the human brain is a very special organ. it makes us the only species on earth able to pose questions . and that makes us really big. the search for answers allows us to develop theories about the world around us and about our place and it. we expand our senses to penetrate deeper into the microcosm, and at the same time, with our thirst for knowledge, we even try to grasp the history of our universe. it's birth and the origin of all things. if our blood is red, why are they boy, maybe i do, you have a science question, you send it to us as a video, text or voice message. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little surprise as a thank you. come on, just ask a and, and you can find more sign stories on our website and on twitter.

that's all for this week on tomorrow today. thanks for watching and join us again next week until then stay curious. with
