Are Steel Houses Thoroughly Good
In June of 1947, Architectural Forum selected a distinctive cover star: The Lustron. This innovative home was constructed with a steel frame, steel panels, and a steel roof, and many of these homes still exist today. The Lustron represented a new concept in post-World War II American housing, as it was a factory-made home that could be shipped across the country with an accompanying instruction manual for each individual component. The exterior and interior of the home were both constructed entirely of steel. From 1947 to 1950, Lustron produced numerous homes, but just three years after the cover shot, the future of housing became a mere footnote. The failure of the Lustron home is not simply an anomaly in the realm of home building, but rather a tale of post-war optimism, technological limitations, and a testing ground for the collaboration between government and private industry.

"Unearthing Humanity's Ancient Embrace: The Heartfelt Discovery of 700,000-Year-Old Humans in the Philippines"
Throughout history, there have been a number of human species- and researchers are continually discovering new ones. A recent discovery in the Philippines has changed our understanding of when our ancestors first reached the islands- and this is surprising because the country, as we know it, is completely surrounded by water. Homo Sapiens, our species, was not the first type of human to live on Earth. You’ll have probably heard of Neanderthals, who first appeared about 230,000 years ago… but there have been at least 17 other species of humans- with the oldest known ancestor, the Orrorin tugenensis, walking the earth about 5.8 million years ago.
