DAZN Acquires Serie A Rights, New Human Species Discovered
The new species of human is thought to have evolved from a common ancestor with other human species, such as Homo sapiens and Homo erectus, and the team's findings are published in the journal Nature, generating significant interest and debate in the scientific community, as DAZN expands its sports broadcasting portfolio.
DAZN has secured the rights to broadcast Serie A games outside of the 3pm Saturday blackout, with up to 8 exclusive fixtures per matchweek, while a team of researchers has made a groundbreaking discovery of a new species of ancient human in a Philippine cave, dubbed "Homo luzonensis"
The broadcaster will show highlights of all games worldwide, except for Italy, San Marino, Vatican City, and the MENA region, available at least 1 hour after the final whistle. This move is expected to increase the global reach of Serie A, with DAZN also securing rights in the US and Caribbean, with 5 exclusive and 5 non-exclusive fixtures per round in Spanish.
Meanwhile, the discovery of Homo luzonensis was made in the Callao Cave, a limestone cave system located in the Cagayan Valley region of Luzon, by a team of researchers from the University of the Philippines and the National Museum of the Philippines. The team found a total of 13 fossilized bones, including teeth, jawbones, and limb bones, which were buried in a layer of sediment.
The analysis of the fossils revealed that Homo luzonensis was a small species of human, with adults reaching a height of around 4 feet 11 inches (1.5 meters) and weighing around 60-70 pounds (27-32 kilograms). The species is believed to have lived on the island of Luzon at least 50,000 years ago, and possibly up to 67,000 years ago.
The discovery of Homo luzonensis is significant because it provides new insights into the evolution of the human species, while DAZN's acquisition of Serie A rights is expected to increase the global reach of the league, providing fans with more access to games and highlights.
