Ham El Astronaut
One day like today but from 1961 when he had not yet reached the age of four, the chimpancé known as No.65 became the first protagonist of the Mercury Project when he was launched on his first mission on a suborbital flight. The objective of Mercury was to put the first human being in Earth orbit. During the training, the primate was taught that when a blue light came on she should perform a lever. If he failed, an electric shock was applied to him at the soles of his feet, while if he did it correctly he received a piece of banana.
On 31 January 1961, it was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and made an approximately 16-minute flight, returning safely to Earth.
In the image you can be seen moments before carrying out the mission. Upon his return, he was re-baptized as Ham, which, according to reports, had not been done before for fear that the mission would fail and the public impact on the death of a chimpancé identified with a name would be greater.
The launch of the first spring into space was very close in time to also controversial launches of astronauts in the USSR, such as Laika or Belka and Strelka, among others. After his space adventure he was transferred to a zoo, where he died at the age of 25.

Around 34,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers who roamed the Russian plains started to bury their dead at the site of Sunghir, about 200 kilometers east of what is today Moscow. Now considered one of the most iconic Upper Paleolithic sites in Europe, Sunghir was initially discovered in 1955 while it was a quarry. After careful excavations from 1957 to 1977 uncovered 30,000- to 34,000-year-old remains, the site has never ceased to fascinate archaeologists. The mortuary site contains extremely elaborate burials of an adult male covered in beads and ochre (a red clay earth pigment), and a juvenile and an adolescent, approximately 10 and 12 years old, buried head to head. “Sungir is an Upper Paleolithic archaeological site in Russia, about 200 km east of Moscow, on the outskirts of Vladimir. The site is approximately 28,000 to 30,000 years old and serves as a grave to an older man and two children.
