Extinct Walrus-like Mammal Discovered in Atlantics, Provides New Insights into Marine Evolution
Recent findings have unveiled Ontocetus posti, an extinct walrus-like mammal that lived 2.2 million years ago. Led by Dr. Mathieu Boisville from the University of Tsukuba, this discovery, made from fossils found in Norwich, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium, provides fresh insights into the evolutionary history of walruses. Initially misidentified, the foss...

Ammonites Thrived Before Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Impact, Study Finds
The study suggests these ancient creatures were thriving until the asteroid impact 66 million years ago.

12,000-Year-Old Preserved Human Brains Baffle Scientists, Challenges Decay Assumptions
The discovery is significant because soft tissue preservation is uncommon under natural conditions.

Fish Can Sense Each Other's Fear And Become Afraid Too, Shows Study
The study is being considered important as it suggest that empathy may have a longer evolutionary history than previously thought.

Oldest Homo Sapiens Fossils Discovered In Morocco
Bones found in a cave in Morocco add 100,000 years to the history of modern human fossils. These bones are from "early anatomically modern" humans - our own species, Homo sapiens, with a mixture of modern and primitive traits, an international team of anthropologists, paleontologists and evolutionary scientists report in a pair of papers published ...

This Ancient Femur Might Muddle Up Human Evolutionary History
A troublesome thigh bone might trip up the timeline of human evolution. According to research published recently in PLOS ONE, a femur found in Southwest China could mean that a species of early human -- one from a lineage other than the one that resulted in humans alive today -- survived as recently as 14,000 years ago.
