Rewriting History with Ancient DNA 🐶 Analyzing 15,800 year old canine DNA bones excavated in Turkey and Europe showed that humans and dogs were living, hunting, eating the same foods, and building a deep family bond far earlier in the Paleolithic era than science previously recorded.

#onthisday, 13 October 1853, was born the actor and singer Lillie Langtry who visited several #TurkishBaths, and also featured in an advert for the Pilgrim Street Turkish baths in #Newcastle. She may have been to Lord Armstrong's bath at #Cragside with HRH, but we're not absolutely sure. 🗃️ #C19th
Photo of Lillie Langtry advertising the baths, in a letter written in December 1885: "[ I write a line to tell you how much pleased I have been with the way you manage the Ladies Bath.] I attribute my perfect health to the Turkish Bath, which I take twice a week regularly. I find it keeps my skin in excellent condition, notwithstanding the pigments one is unfortunately obliged to use on the stage, and I think for all small ailments the Turkish Baths is the best Doctor to fly to."Photo of part of the entrance to the Pilgrim Street Turkish baths, to the right of Miller's paint shop.Architect James Shotton's plan of the Pilgrim Street Turkish baths. At the bottom of the plan can be seen the doorway from the street (partly shown in previous image).Typical advertisement for the baths giving the opening times, quoting Langtry's letter, and offering refreshments including chops and steaks. Also boasts "The Only Russian Bath in the North of England," though the validity of this claim is unknown.
