Dinosaur Populations Thrived Before Asteroid Impact, Study Suggests
A new study using statistical modeling of the North American fossil record suggests that dinosaurs were thriving before the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, challenging previous theories of pre-existing decline; geological factors, not population changes, likely account for the apparent decreas...

Ancient Libyan Mummies Reveal Isolated Human Group, Rewriting North African History
DNA analysis of two 7,000-year-old mummies in Libya reveals a previously unknown human group isolated in the Green Sahara, challenging theories of human migration and interbreeding in North Africa, and suggesting cultural diffusion without genetic mixing.

Heavy Alcohol Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Brain Damage
A study in Neurology linked weekly consumption of eight or more alcoholic beverages to a 133% higher risk of vascular brain lesions, cognitive decline, and a 13-year shorter lifespan compared to non-drinkers; the risk was also higher for former heavy drinkers.

High Methane Emissions Discovered at Europe's Largest Meteorite Crater
A new study in Sweden found unusually high methane emissions—up to 300 times the normal level—from concentrated leaks in the Siljan Ring, Europe's largest meteorite crater, releasing 3.5 tons of methane annually, equivalent to 85 tons of CO2, raising concerns about potential global implications.
