All The Latest Paleontological Events From Around The World

20-million-year-old skull suggests complex brain evolution in monkeys, apes August 21, 2019
New research on one of the oldest and most complete fossil primate skulls from South America shows instead that the pattern of brain evolution in this group was far more checkered. The study suggests that the brain enlarged repeatedly and independently over the course of anthropoid history.
Humans migrated to Mongolia much earlier than previously believed August 16, 2019
Stone tools uncovered in Mongolia by an international team of archaeologists indicate that modern humans traveled across the Eurasian steppe about 45,000 years ago.
Extinct Caribbean bird yields DNA after 2,500 years in watery grave August 15, 2019
Scientists have recovered the first genetic data from an extinct bird in the Caribbean, thanks to the remarkably preserved bones of a Creighton's caracara from a flooded sinkhole on Great Abaco Island.

All The Latest Geological Events From Around The World

Origin of massive methane reservoir identified August 20, 2019
New research provides evidence of the formation and abundance of abiotic methane -- methane formed by chemical reactions that don't involve organic matter -- on Earth and shows how the gases could have a similar origin on other planets and moons, even those no longer home to liquid water.
Roadmap for detecting changes in ocean due to climate change August 19, 2019
When will we see significant changes in the ocean due to climate change? A new study finds that some changes are noticeable already, while others will take up to a century.
