Indonesian handprints are the oldest cave art found yet

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — Handprints on cave walls in a largely unexplored area of Indonesia may be the oldest rock art studied so far, dating back to at least 67,800 years ago.

This prehistoric art form suggests the Indonesian island was home to a flourishing artistic culture. To figure out how old the paintings were,...

Second fatal train crash shocks Spain as death toll in the first collision rises to 43

AP News GELIDA, Spain (AP) — Commuter rail service in Spain's northeastern Catalonia region was suspended Wednesday after a Barcelona commuter train crashed the night before, killing one person and injuring 37 others, authorities said.

The crash came two days after Spain’s worst railway disaster since 2013, which left many Spaniards in disbelief. The death toll in that crash, in southern Spain, rose to 43.

Wall Street rises after Trump says he won't use force to take Greenland

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is bouncing back from its worst day since October, though some signs of fear remain on Wall Street Wednesday about President Donald Trump’s desire to take Greenland.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.7% after Trump said in a speech before business and government leaders in Europe that he would not use force to take “the piece of ice.” The potential de-escalation in rhetoric around Greenland helped the index recover some of its 2.1% drop from the day before and pull closer to its all-time high set earlier this month.
