Stone tools from Hiroshima's Kanmuri site show links to Eurasian 'Northern Route' Homo sapiens

Stone tools unearthed at the Kanmuri site in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, exhibit characteristics similar to "early blade tool assemblages" used by Homo sapiens on the Eurasian continent's "Northern Route." This discovery, following the 2024 find of Japan's oldest tools (42,300 years old) at the same site, suggests a new understanding of human migration and dispersal routes into the Japanese archipelago.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi: The Only Person Officially Recognised as Surviving Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombings

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was the only person officially recognised as surviving both atomic bombings in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Working for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Hiroshima when the first bomb struck, he sustained burns and temporary vision loss but survived. Despite his injuries, he travelled to his home city of Nagasaki the following day and was present during the second atomic bombing. In 2009, Japanese authorities officially recognised him as a 'nijū hibakusha' (double hibakusha). After the war, he resumed his career and became an advocate for nuclear disarmament, speaking at the United Nations.
