In the quest to decipher the evolutionary relationships of extinct organisms from fossils, researchers often face challenges in discerning key features from weathered fossils, or with prioritizing ...
The traditional labels Homo, Australopithecus and Paranthropus may no longer match the tangled relationships revealed by the ...
A set of fossils recovered in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state, has brought an extra layer of complexity to the study of the evolutionary history of silesaurids, a family of ...
Fossil finds are exciting moments that sometimes introduce the world to an ancient mammal or dinosaur that existed millions of years ago. But a longstanding problem in paleontology is that fossils are ...
Harvard researchers identified a new fossilized species of tardigrade — known as “water bears” — scientists reported in an Aug. 6 paper in “Communications Biology.” Researchers used confocal laser ...
A free app lets anyone with an iPhone or iPad discover and classify fossils with the eye of a scientist. “We know people are captivated by paleontology and interested in fossils,” says principal ...
In the quest to decipher the evolutionary relationships of extinct organisms from fossils, researchers often face challenges in discerning key features from weathered fossils, or with prioritizing ...
Human evolution may need a new name for much of its family tree. Fossils once separated into Homo, Australopithecus and Paranthropus increasingly resist those neat divisions, raising a basic question ...
