For the Speed family, it wouldn’t be a reunion without this herd of Mustangs. Back in 1973, in their hometown of Valdosta, Ga, Daniel Speed and his seven brothers and sisters had a pony nobody rode, so their father swapped it for 1965 Ford Mustang. "He traded a pony for a 'pony car,' as Mustangs came to be known," he recalled. "That is how it all got started." Years later, two of Speed's brothers picked up a 1970 Mustang Mach 1—"the car that gave us all the Mustang crave," he said—and his siblings followed suit. Today the family has eight Mustangs between them, and about twice a year they gather in Valdosta with their "ponies." "People see us and every time they say, 'There is that Mustang family,' said Speed, 58. "When we tell people that our last name is actually Speed, no one believes us."

You're looking at the fossil jawbone of an early human species called Denisovans that settled in the Himalayan highlands at least 160,000 years ago—more than 120,000 years before modern humankind arrived, scientists said. These archaic human relatives lived at almost 11,000 feet, an altitude that would leave many people today starved for oxygen. The fossil, originally discovered by a local Buddhist monk nearly four decades ago, was so well preserved that it allowed scientists to create a virtual reconstruction of the two sides. Not until 2010 were resources available to study the find. Read more: https://on.wsj.com/2ZO4Tk1 📷: Dongju Zhang/Lanzhou University and Jean-Jacques Hublin/MPI-EVA/Leipzig

When she was 5 years old, Marsai Martin started modeling in her Texas hometown. Within a year of moving to Los Angeles at age 9, she got her big break as a core cast member on the series black-ish. Now, she's veering off the typical script for child stars.⠀ ⠀ The 14-year-old is believed to be the youngest executive producer ever of a major Hollywood movie, Little, released last Friday. The film, in which she also stars, originated with her idea for a female-focused twist on the Tom Hanks comedy "Big."⠀ ⠀ Ms. Martin is emblematic of a generation of young people who think of themselves as creators, not just consumers. That impulse, and the internet, have given teens more influence on entertainment than ever before. On YouTube, Instagram and Twitch, there are young stars with more followers than major cities have residents.⠀ ⠀ "I'm still a kid," she said, stressing that she is still in learning mode as a producer, "where half of the things I'm doing are surprises to me."⠀ ⠀ Read more: https://on.wsj.com/2UDkW57 📷: Jessica Sample for WSJ Photos
