Discovery of new human kind of species in China

       Scientists reported on Friday that a gigantic fossilized skull dating back at least 140,000 years has been identified as a new species of ancient human, a discovery that could redefine how — and even where — our species, Homo sapiens, originated.      The skull of an adult guy with a large brain, gigantic brow ridges, deep-set eyes, and a bulbous nose was discovered. After a labourer discovered it at a building site in China, it had been hidden in an abandoned well for 85 years.      The new species was given the name Homo longi, and the nickname "Dragon Man" was given to it after the Dragon River region of northeast China, where the skull was discovered.      According to the researchers, Homo longi, not Neanderthals, was the most closely linked extinct human species to our own. If validated, it would affect how scientists see Homo sapiens' origins, which have been built up over time through fossil finds and ancien...

Who will be the champion if the historic final ends as a draw? WTC final, India or New Zealand?

     The World Test Championship final in Southampton was delayed by two full days due to weather. Despite the availability of a reserve day on Wednesday, June 23, the historic final between India and New Zealand is expected to end in a tie.

    After heavy rain in Southampton on Monday, Day 4 activity was called off without a ball being bowled. The players and fans were made to wait for the game to resume, but it never did since the officials at the Ageas Bowl were unable to consider restarting play due to the continuing drizzle and a wet outfield.

    Notably, the much-anticipated final's first day was also rained out. At the Ageas Bowl, just 141.1 overs of cricket could be played over four days. New Zealand leads the tournament with a score of 101 for 2 after bowling out India for 217 on Day 3.

    Even as cricket fans and players are unhappy by the paucity of action in the "Ultimate Test," the ICC is facing criticism for scheduling the WTC final in England at this time of year, when the English weather is uncertain. The rain had an impact on the 2019 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, two of the previous three ICC men's championships held in England.

Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli

That raises the question of what would happen if the ICC World Test Championship final ended in a tie?

    The ICC has announced that a reserve day will be utilised to help secure a WTC Final result. It also stated that the reserve day would be used only if lost time could not be recovered through the use of normal supplies. With two days lost to rain, the reserve day will almost certainly be used in the present match between India and New Zealand.

    "If time is lost during the play, the ICC Match Referee will keep the teams and media updated on how the Reserve Day will be used. The final decision on whether to use the Reserve Day would be taken at the scheduled start of the fifth day's last hour "According to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

In the event of a tie in the WTC Final, who will be named champions?

    The ICC has reaffirmed that if the WTC Final concludes in a draw or a tie, India and New Zealand will be proclaimed joint victors.

    In addition, the ICC announced prize money for the WTC cycle, which began in 2019. The champions will receive USD 1.6 million, while the runners-up will receive USD 800,000. In the event of a tie, the first and second-placed teams' prize money will be split equally between the two finalists.

    In the event of a tie, the ICC World Test Championship maze, which will be awarded to the champions, will be split.

    "During the time they stay champions, the two finalists share possession of the Mace," the ICC said in a press release announcing the regulations ahead of the much-anticipated final.

    India qualified for the World Test Championship final by winning 12 matches in six series, while New Zealand qualified with seven wins in five series.
