A small group of young researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have, through ...

To clarify the early evolutionary history of Cicadoidea fossils, the phylogenetic relationships between Mesozoic fossils and extant Cicadoidea, the macroevolution of body structure adaptations, and ...

Jawbones and other remains, similar to specimens found in Europe, were dated to 773,000 years and help close a gap in ...

The evolution of some of the earliest complex animals on our planet may have been spurred on by other, simpler early animals. These simple marine animals first evolved around 560 million years ago and ...

Scientists have reconstructed the head of an ancient human relative from 1.5 million year-old fossilized bones and teeth. But ...

Sustainable success depends less on geography and more on how talent is onboarded, managed and empowered to contribute ...

Early angiosperms represent a pivotal chapter in plant evolution, marked by rapid diversification and profound ecological impact during the Early Cretaceous. These flowering plants, distinguished by ...

Recent study sheds new light on the enigmatic early evolution of snakes by examining an unexpected source: their brains. The results emphasize the significance of studying both the soft parts of ...

Archosaurs have a nearly 250 million year record that originated shortly after the Permian-Triassic extinction event and is continued today by two extant clades, the crocodylians and the avians. The ...

Large blocks of genes conserved through hundreds of millions of years of evolution hint at how the first animal chromosomes came to be. Chromosomes, the bundles of DNA that star in the mitotic ballet ...

NASA scientists recently proposed a new explanation for the rise of oxygen in Earth’s early atmosphere – an event that may have jumpstarted the evolution of complex life. The idea is suggested in two ...
