Ancient Dinosaur Fossils May Lie Hidden in the Amazon
A study suggests that the oldest dinosaur fossils may be undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of Gondwana, millions of years older than the current oldest known fossils, pushing back their origin to a warmer, drier environment.

Snow Leopard Evolution: Eurasian Fossils Reveal Dispersal from Qinghai-Xizang Plateau
An international team used Eurasian snow leopard fossils to reveal multiple dispersals from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau during the Middle Pleistocene, driven by mountainous terrain and prey availability, not solely high-altitude adaptation, impacting current conservation efforts.

Super Ice Ages Spurred Evolution of Complex Life
An international team's high-resolution analysis of 2 billion years of global life diversity, published in Science, reveals that super ice ages around 600 million years ago spurred a surge in eukaryotic species, leading to the emergence of complex organisms after a period of slow evolution.

Boring Billion" Revealed as Crucial Preparatory Phase for Complex Life
A new study in Science details the internal evolutionary changes within eukaryotic cells during Earth's "Boring Billion", a period of seemingly slow evolution (1.8 billion to 800 million years ago), revealing it as a critical preparatory phase for the later explosion of complex life, despite low spe...

"Height Disparity Between Men and Women: A 20th Century Trend and its Reversal"
"Analysis of data from the WHO and other sources reveals that men's height increased significantly more than women's in nations with improved living conditions and reduced environmental stressors during the 20th century; however, this trend is slowing or reversing in wealthy European countries."

AI Reveals Alternative Evolutionary Pathways by Creating Novel Protein
An AI system generated a new green fluorescent protein (esmGFP) that is only 58% similar to known versions, suggesting that evolution could have followed different paths and that humans might not be the only possible outcome.

Rapid Evolution of Species Due to Human Impact
Human activities have caused a 73% decline in wildlife in 50 years, forcing species to rapidly adapt; examples include birds changing their wingspan for thermoregulation and mollusks changing their shell color to deal with heat, while mahogany trees have become smaller to avoid logging.
