Do you remember the Spice Girls?

The Spice Girls were an all-female band who were at their most famous in the 1990s. They sold 85m records round the world, making them the best-selling female group ever. Their first single, Wannabe, went to Number 1 in 37 countries and their first album, Spice, was the best-selling album by a female group ever.

The band earned up to $85m a year, making a film and famous for their look. They were nicknamed Posh, Sporty, Scary, Ginger and Baby.

Only one of the Spice Girls is still in the music business. One, Victoria Adams, married David Beckham and become famous as a fashion designer.

Now there are rumours that the band are going to get together again – but not to tour or release new music. Newspaper reports in the UK say that they are thinking about getting back together again to release a Greatest Hits album, do TV in China, appear in a talent show and more.

Face of ancient UK man seen for the first time

The skeleton of a man who lived in the UK about 10,000 years ago was found over a century ago in a cave. Now scientists have been able to do DNA tests on a piece of skin found on the skeleton (called Cheddar Man) and have worked out that he had very dark skin and blue eyes.

There was a lot of interest in Cheddar Man because he lived soon after the first people arrived in the UK from Europe at the end of the last age. People in the UK today are descended from these settlers.

You might be wondering why he's called Cheddar Man. This isn't anything to do with the UK's favourite cheese – it's because he was found in a cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset.
