Scientists Claim to have Found World’s Oldest Fish

It has been revealed in a recent report by the researchers from Japan and Australia that they have found the world’s oldest fish.

It was revealed that it has been discovered in the East Timor. The research team is of the view that this throws light on the intelligence and skill of the fishermen, back 42,000 years ago. The new archaeological discovery reveals the expertise of the fishermen

It was revealed by Professor Sue O’ Connor of the Australian National University that there have been as many as 2800 fish that have been caught, all those years back. She further added that this discovery also unravels the excellent cognitive skills that people used to have, in order to be able to make that huge catch.

It reveals that the early man had developed enough ways of survival and good ways of catching fish for themselves .This shows how intelligent man was since the beginning and how he had started planning for a future.

Scientists and archaeologists have found fishes like Tuna, barracudas as well as sharks, in the olden times.

"When I discovered it in 2005, I didn't think that Jerimalai would tell us about the very early occupation of Timor. I was quite surprised when I found all these fish bones and turtle bones”, revealed Professor ‘Connor.

She further revealed that there has been excavation done on two small pits only so far, but they have found as many as 39,000 bones of fish, together with a number of other precious artifacts like animal remains, fish hooks, shell beads, bone points and so on.

She revealed that these sightings have unearthed the marine profession that had come into existence so many years ago, when man was slowly seeing evolution to become more than just the caveman.

Indian IT companies among world's lowest-paying employers

NEW DELHI: India Inc is among the world's lowest paying employers in the IT space, with their mid-to-senior level staff getting an average salary of $36,120 (about Rs 18.5 lakh) per annum - less than one-fourth of the IT pay package at globally top-paying Swiss companies. 
NEW DELHI: India Inc is among the world's lowest paying employers in the IT space, with their mid-to-senior level staff getting an average salary of $36,120 (about Rs 18.5 lakh) per annum - less than one-fourth of the IT pay package at globally top-paying Swiss companies. 

The IT sector salaries are highest in the world in Switzerland at an average of $167,890 (about Rs 87 lakh) per annum, as per a study titled 'World wide IT Salary 2011'. 

The study, conducted by global recruitment service provider MyHiringClub.com, found that India is ranked seventh on a list of the 10 worst IT paymasters globally. 

On the other hand, Switzerland stands at the top spot among the top-paying nations in the IT sector. The study took into account the average salaries for people with six and more years of experience for the Indian and other companies. 

The report compared the total annual cash compensation and total remuneration information for IT staff in more than 6,000 companies across 41 different countries and found that employers in western Europe are the best paymasters. 

It also found that compensation in developed countries focus more on variable factors, such as bonus schemes, to attract staff. At the same time, the emphasis remains on cash compensation in the lower-paying countries. 

"The impact of outsourcing and off-shoring on IT roles in North America and Western Europe helps explain the pattern of global pay. Lower-level roles are being moved to regions where talent is cheaper," MyHiringClub.com CEO Rajesh Kumar said. 

"India continues to be amongst the leading destinations for IT development, given its cost advantage. However, salary inflation and talent shortage could emerge as major challenges in maintaining this position in future," he added. 

IT managers in India, however, fare better than their peers in Vietnam, Bulgaria, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, where the average annual salaries were even lower at $28,940, $32,560, $32,980, $33,000 and $35,870, respectively. 

Also, large pay gaps exist between the junior and senior career streams in India, Indonesia, Chile, Brazil and Vietnam, the survey said.
