Study On Evolution

Researchers from The Ohio State University have uncovered how ancient viruses preserved in glacier ice have adapted to Earth's shifting climate over the past 41,000 years. By analysing viral genomes from the Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, the study reveals significant variations in viral communities between cold and warm climatic periods. T...

Four thousand years ago, the last woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island, situated off the coast of present-day Siberia. Traditionally, it was believed that their remote location led to inbreeding, which was thought to be the primary cause of their extinction. However, recent research challenges this notion. A study reveals new insights into the m...

Recent research has revealed that LUCA, the last universal common ancestor of all life, lived around 4.2 billion years ago. This new estimate pushes back the timeline for the origin of life by 300 million years. The study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, involved analysis of genes from 700 species of bacteria and archaea, as well as ancien...

Supermassive black holes might be influencing galactic star formation and triggering the death of galaxies, claims a new stuy. Recent research has shed light on how the birth and death of a galaxy, also known as galactic cycle occurs. This study reveals that the mass of a supermassive black hole can significantly impact the amount of cold gas avail...

The East African Rift System has long been celebrated as the cradle of humankind, where some of the earliest known hominid fossils have been unearthed. However, recent research suggests that this narrative may be too narrow, as it focuses on a limited geographical area that covers less than one percent of the African continent.

A new study estimates that LUCA, the Last Universal Common Ancestor of all life on Earth, existed around 4.2 billion years ago, challenging previous timelines for the origin of life.

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...

Earth itself is approximately 4.5 billion years old, indicating life originated when the planet was still in its infancy.

This discovery will throw fresh light on the evolution of coleoid cephalopods, which include octopuses, squid and cuttlefish.

The study examines the impact of gravity on human evolution, considers how we have inadequately evolved to control this force of gravitation, and investigates the effects of gravity intolerance with an emphasis on IBS.

A new study provides detailed description of Cardiodictyon catenulum, a wormlike animal preserved in rocks in China's southern Yunnan province.

Big Tech firms were grilled by a parliamentary panel on Tuesday, where representatives of firms including Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, and Uber were questioned on alleged anti-competitive practices. The panel, working under Union Minister Jayant Sinha is working on a report on developing a legal framework to ensure fair compet...

Scientists at Caltech have discovered four exoplanets — TOI 560b, TOI 1430.01, TOI 1683.01, and TOI 2076b – that appear to be shrinking in size and losing their atmosphere gradually. The rate at which this change is taking place suggests that these celestial bodies, called mini-Neptunes, will eventually lose their atmosphere completely to becom...

A team of researchers from Australia's Curtin University studied the chemical and physical properties of the Black Beauty meteorite to determine the location of its origin on Mars. The chemical composition of Black Beauty suggested that Mars also had volcanic activity like Earth. The team concluded that the meteorite originated from one of the olde...

Astrophysicists have developed the first 3D simulation of the entire evolution of a jet from its birth by a rotating black hole to its emission far from the collapsing star. Simulation explains that as the star collapses, its material falls on the disk that swirls around the black hole. This falling material tilts the disk, and, in turn, tilts the ...
